Hi Jo, and others reading this thread. I have lived out here for over a year now, and consider Spain my home. I have learnt quite a lot in that time. Tread carefully, buying property is not the problem, selling it again if you make a bad choice is! Take off those rose tinted glasses, and put them in the bin! It all looks different during two weeks of beaches, beer and breakfasts. There are some bargains to had here, no doubt about it, I am considering buying myself, but I am now armed with a years worth of research to help me. If you just want a holiday apartment/ rental property, then near the coast will possibly suit you better. But if you intend spending a lot of time here, and not renting your property out, maybe a village a short drive from the beach might be better. Be aware that cheap cars here are difficult to come across. I now live in a village called Algorfa, and like it very much, but it might not be my final choice of home. It's all down to personal taste, everyone is different. I have some friends who bought a house on a large urbanization here, and it's like a ghost town in winter. I prefer to be able to walk to local shops and restaurants if I can, so the village suits my needs at the moment. Some of the best research you can do is having a few beers in a local bar, you will learn a lot, as people talk quite freely. You will find out the good and bad points of the local area. Good luck to all, enjoy your house hunting, may you find what you are looking for.

Regards Paul.
