Hi Tom
I have lived in Sucina for 4 years with my wife and 2 children. The area is very quiet with a good mix of Spanish and English. We are situated only 15 minutes from San Javier airport and the beaches of the Mar Menor and 30 minutes from Murcia which makes it an ideal location.
Property prices are very low at the moment, so now is an ideal time to buy. The area is well equipped with shops, bars, restaurants, school, medical centre and dentist.
Good luck with your search.
