moving to almoradi

Hi, I am thinking of moving to Almoradi or albatra (not sure if spelt correctly), which is the larger town and has more ex-pats living there. I want to move to a Spanish village but would like to know there are few english people there, and kids in school. I have been thinking about moving to Spain for years and we are going to take the plunge at the end of this year. My partner will be working in England and coming to Spain most weeks...... I would love to hear from anyone that lives in either of these towns. Karen

Hi Karen,
Nice to see you are moving to Spain in the very near future. My partner and I have lived in Almoradi for over 7 years and we love it here. Its a Spanish town with approx 18,000 inhabitants and in my opinion 95% of these are Spanish. There are expats but not overrun and there are some good schools for infants, primary and secondary aged children as we have both Spanish and British friends with children at school and we have only heard good reports, however you need to do some research for yourself to ensure you are happy with the facts.
Albatera is also a nice place, which also has expats but is a lot smaller than Almoradi, but with lots of Spanish nationals. Albetera is further inland than Almoradi and is obviously further to the beaches/coast.
The decision is yours and if you require any other info feel free to ask.

Hiya,

On the subject of moving to Almoradi, I have been setting my sights on the big move over. But need something to occupy my time with and hopefully make a living out of. Is there anything Almoradi needs that it hasn't already got?? e.g A retail outlet, A service??
