Dear Spain enthusiast, a warm welcome and we like to share our property with you. After travelling a lot through Spain, we decided to purchase a property in the area of Alicante. After even more thoughtful selection, this is the place to be ... for us. Why? It´s very well communicated through the intl. Alicante Airport, being in only 45min distance (non mout road). Nice and inexpensive rental cars are available at the airport all year long... Flying in from Germany or other parts of Europe takes 2 to 3 hours - that´s good - works even for a long weekend. The house is located in a very well kept community. It´s very sunny and quiet at the same time. The pool is across the street - so in short distance, but without the noise living next to the pool ;) The house is private, fenced - so our dogs can walk around freely... the big road infront is rarely used. This means even more privacy to us (no front-door neighbours who would watch you all day long ;) Talking about privacy - we also enjoy the private roof-top (called: Solarium by locals). Isolated from neighbours eyes, this is our private zone for sun-bathing and enjoying day and night outside. The house is well ventilated. We enjoy sleeping with "open" windows - do not like AC´s and only use it on very few tropical night´s per year. Even though there are AC´s installed in all rooms, as well as ceiling vents. There are parking space directly infront of the property and on the property. In a short walking distance we can do grocery shopping, eat out ... or even walk to the beach (some 10min) - we take the bikes or our Quad, so it´s even less time and more fun. Now the beach ... checking the coastline, you´ll find these beaches quite unique for this area. All beaches are "bay" shaped, having natural wave breakers and offering shallow waters more quiet and warmer than in other sections of the Alicante coastline. We found the nicest "Beach for Dogs" just around the corner, at Playa Flamenca ... A real sandy beach for dogs and their people - we love it, our dogs do, too. Now, eventually and especially for longer stays - we need to purchase stuff or see and do other things than vacation ... from La Zenia Boulevard Shopping Center, to Mar Menor, Cartagena, Country Side locations, many Golf Courses ... there are lot´s of things to do (if you feel to). From comfort, leisure and purchasing perspective - this area is like living in a large central European town. Languages, even though we speak Spanish ... we have been very surprised, that there´s no need to ... you get well along with English alone. Now, that´s what we like about this place and area ... come on in and enjoy.
