Hi there,

We’re hoping to buy a holiday home on the outskirts of the village of Sucina in the coming months. Just waiting for the right property to come on the market!

We visited last week and had a great time in the village and exploring the area.

Any thoughts and advice welcome! 

Many thanks,

Laura

We have had our place in Sucina since 2008. Pros - Lovely friendly people, mixture of mostly Spanish, then Brits, and a few other nationalities.

Cons - Public transport is virtually non -existent.

Hi Laura, 

There a lot of local children in Sucina. Many of them meet at the playground by the community centre every day around 6.00pm. You know children don't necessarily need to speak the same language to play together. Spanish children are very friendly. There are also children from the UK and Ireland d...
