Hi!
I am a guy from Sweden who is seriously considering buying an apartment in Sant Carles de la Rapita (very south Costa Dorada, close to Costa Azahar). I have found this board from Google and have read quite a few threads...
I have spent the last six summers as well as a the last three autumn mid term breaks in Sant Carles and realised I want to stay in a place where there is infra structure as well as cafes and restaurants open all year.
My Spanish is still only consisting of many nouns (I know menus quite well
) but I can not converse in Spanish (maybe not in English either..).
Why buy now? Well, I think that I when I retire in appr 15 years from now I want to spend most of my time in Spain, and I think the next year(s) will be the best time to make an investment. In a few years the surplus of apartments will be long gone to all the Germans, Dutch, Norwegians as well as Swedes (and Britons) who now are in their 50-s and later realise they want to spend time in Spain.
If anyone has suggestions or advice regarding property buying in Costa Dorada/ Costa Azahar please tag along...
