Ola! Looking to buy a holiday home with the plan to retire in 3 years or so.

Hi, what nationality are you, if you are British I hope you realise that since brexit you cannot live permenantly in Spain and are restricted hiw long you can be in the country

That is incorrect. You can move to live permanently in Spain, but you need to obtain a visa in order to do so.

If you do not move permanently (or until you do), you can stay for a maximum of 90 in any rolling 180 days.

I appreciate that but there are strict conditions to get a visa

I agree - but your statement 'if you are British I hope you realise that since brexit you cannot live permenantly (sic) in Spain' is totally incorrect and misleading, which does not help the original poster...

Thank you for any comments.
We are fully aware of all visa / work restrictions.

Just looking for help on locations etc

I am a Brit and like most have permanent residencia. You get a temporary residents permit that becomes permanent after , I think, 5 years.

Looks at the internet page for idealista. They have almost all San Pedro properties listed.

Hi I bought my apt. 20 years ago in San Pedro del Pinatar.

My criteria was:

 1. To be near a Spanish town

2. To be able to see the sea

3 .To be South facing...a must in winter.

As long as I got the above I didn't mind where I was.

Bingo...San Pedro offered the lot, and all in 5 days of looking!!!!

A guy down the road said it took him 5yrs to find his property!!! Why...because he had no criteria and could therefore have spent a lifetime looking!!!!

San Pedro is very flat with good bike lines all down the coast. So you can set off in the morning stop off for coffee and brandy go a bit further and lunch by the sea on the way back 'oh its happy hour' so a nice 'Pinicolada'

It's just such a fab Spanish town and so near to anything you could want.

I hope this helps, if you want to know any more just message me. Good Luck!

I could be accused of nit-picking but if you (quite rightly) are going to try to use Spanish, try to get it right...the greeting is "Hola!" with an "H", though an "H" is never pronounced.
