Suggestions on a Postcard to...

Hi all, we currently live in the north of Spain and for lots of reasons we are looking to head south. Andalucia, Valencia and Murcia are areas we are looking at. But given how huge these areas are we need suggestions of locations to investigate. We can't consider being in large cities or towns as we have a large family of cats coming with us. However, we don't want to be too isolated so within walking distance of a small town or village would be ideal. An established expat community would be great too. We're very open to suggestions as at the moment it's like looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack! Thank you in advance for any help you can offer!

You could look at Jalon/Xalo just inland from Javea/Xabia, in Marina Alta (capital is Denia). My daughter and her family live there and there is plenty of campo within easy reach of the very good large village. Lots of expats (if that is what you want!)
