Agree, its a great place, and you can be on several beaches within 20 minutes of easy driving, no traffic.

Its getting better every day, and money is starting to be spent on bringing everything up to scratch.

It will take time, but its started, and all is looking good.

Glad I found this forum, just started looking at properties in Costa Calida and Costa Blanca and was at the Place in the Sun in Manchester at the weekend, first agent we saw I mentioned I'd seen a couple of nice properties and was met with a look of derision and a rather snotty reply.

Needless to say I am able to make my own mind up and do plenty of research on the area and the matters that have clearly been an issue previously, interesting to read the latter comments regarding the groups and how clean the area is....

Planning on getting over in the coming months to view a few properties and may find ourselves in the area in the not too distant.

Have just re-watched that episode, saw it just before we bought last year. For our preference we went for Camposol as that gave us a detached 2 bed 2 bath in our price range. For us Camposol is just what we want. 30 minutes to airport, 20 minutes to beaches (as we are here full time we don't feel...

... the need to be right on the beach) and 40 minutes or so  to Murcia, Cartagena and Lorca, main roads are good and very light traffic compared to UK (Swindon to Bristol on M4 🤬). Only been here 10 months and loving it, looking forward to much more exploring.
