Moving to Isla Plana

I too am moving over on the 2nd October.but need help on sorting things out here in the U.K. And in Spain.struggling to understand everything I need to do before finalising my move.

Hi we have a holiday home in Isla Plana and it is busy in July and August like most Murcia coastal areas. Isla plana is very quiet the rest of the year.  Cartagena is the big town wiith a university that attracts the younger generation. We love Isla Plana and the surounding areas.

It is very much a beach resort, with a year round social club and live music in the summer. Community tax varies, it depends on your community and property size. We pay about a 10th of what we pay in the UK. 

Thank you Candy I'm sure ile get sorted once were there 

I have been here two days now and it is realy quiet to be honest I think it is a retirement village you have everything thing here I.e.supermarket and restaurants but nothing else much to do

Hi Dougy

How's it going, You sound a bit lost ? Are you by your self.

We aren't moving over till Feb and I think my son is going to look at living near the Marina we think it might be better.

Hi

We had a Drink with Doug and his Partner at the soical and it was very nice. 

We have had a holiday home in Isla Plana for the past 3 years and have been coming here for 14 years and we absoultely love it. It depends what you like doing, we go for long walks, read, snokel, ride our bikes, we are currently getting a licence for our dingy and of course eat and drink. 

Doug is right It is a like a retirement village,   But there are many places on the Spanish coastline that are like this in the winter. 

Puerto  Mazarron  is busier but it is a bigger Resort.  Its mainly due to the fact that most of the  houses are holiday homes as opposed to package tour hotel holdays 

In July and August it is very busy. Its a typical spanish small holiday resort with everything you need. We have witnessed that the Spanish go to the beach in the morning, have a long lunch and siesta from 1-5pm. They are then back on the beach until 8pm and then head back for Dinner. (July and August) After dinner they go for walk  and eat  Ice cream at midnight. 

If you want any info on the area please i am happy to help. . 

Well at least he's not there by himself he sounded lonely, its not the sort of place to move to alone I don't think.

I've visited now in the winter and yes it is quiet but we are still quite happy with our choice if we wanted it busier we would have gone to Javea or somewhere like that.

It feel's safe and that's important and we want to mix with local people I am looking forward to it. 

Im here with a friend and michelle is right its a lovely place although our plan is to keep travelling south i can see myself settling here next september its great 

Hello ,
