Hi Steve.
Roda is very popular, but it depends what you like, the safest places are the places that are occupied all year round or have security, the urbanisations can be 80% empty in the winter so attract thieves, we have friends in los Alcazares but we found that to ex pat for us the same with San Pedro del pinatar and Lo Pagan, we plumbed for Santiago de la Ribera as it is a proper town with everything that has to offer but it is very Spanish which suits us, the thoughts behind our choice was that if we want English restaurants and pubs ect they are 5 mins away but we prefer the more Spanish way of life for our day to day living. Likewise if you wanted to play golf it’s only 5 mins away but I can take a 2 min walk to the local bakery for fresh bread and a €1.20 coffee which you can’t do if your living on a golf resort but our neibours are Spanish so if you wanted to be surrounded by more English,Scotish,Irish then Los Alcazares is ideal. Hope this helps.
Regards
John
