Hi- my husband and I are looking to purchase In Hacienda Riquelme. We will be flying into Alicante. Can I check how do people get from Alicante airport to resort without car or is it necessary to have a car. Also on topic of distance - how commutable is the coast again with and without a car - thank you. Any help really appreciated to make our decision re location 😊

Hacienda Riquelme is in the middle of a flat plain of mainly agricultural land, with no public transport options within any reasonable walking distance.

It is about 100 km from Alicante airport; and 25 km from Region de Murcia airport (although there are fewer flights to & from the UK from RMU).

Most people hire a car (or have their own car in Spain), as the costs of airport transfers or taxis are very high!

The nearest coast is on the Mar Menor (so the lagoon, not the sea) and this is about 25 km.

Also, whilst there are a couple of bars & restaurants and a small supermarket on the resort, for any greater choice, you would need a car to travel to supermarkets or any other areas with more facilities.

Hope this helps!

You could get to balsicas by train from Alicante train station  (not at the airport ) but still leaves you short to Riquelme which is near Sucina ..forget public transport ...there is a one man taxi firm right outside balsicas Station...hiring cars is an expensive unhappy dismal experience from the airport big firms ..second hand left hand drive cars are plentiful in Spain but can have high mileage so do your checks ..you need a car   it's great cycling territory indeed round that area

Hi there, we own on HR so I can really recommend it to you. In theory you can get a taxi from the airport to the resort and can be self sufficient on the resort. We have a supermarket and a very nice bar restaurant. That’s ok if you are having a quick week away. If you intend to spend a bit of time here you will need a car. Sucina is a nice small working Spanish town with a good selection of restaurants. One family own three and run a free bookable mini bus service from HR to town and back. For the coast you will need a car, it’s an easy drive about 15 mins and it’s where all the big supermarkets are located. Murcia city is about 40 mins away. We are back there on 15th September if you need any recommendations on agents and solicitor dm me.
