Home from Home on the Costa Blanca: "Give yourself the right tools and you will be able to stand up straight "

Every site is different

Would you like a garden of Mediterranean fruits, flowers and shrubs? And include favourites from temperate climates? Or do you want to live in or near an orchard of oranges, almonds, olives or even beside a vineyard?
Remember that every plot of land has its own particular climate. You need to work out when the sun reaches a location and at what times of day through the year before you buy. In a mountainous country you want to be sure that you do not live on the wrong side of the hill. Sunlight is more important to you in the winter than the summer both inside and outside the house.

Everything you need.

Everything you need for house, garden, terrace and table is available nearby: bricolage and hardware stores, garden centres, tiles and building materials, bathroom fittings and supermarkets, flea and fruit markets.
For leisure time there is a maze of clubs from computing to bridge, tai chi to archery, plus internet and satellite television from competing suppliers and, best of all, the long bright days to play tennis, golf, sail, walk, do the garden, DIY, or whatever you fancy.

Living on the Marina Alta (Northern Costa Blanca)

If you are thinking of living here on the Costa Blanca then the blog will help you get the feeling for the kind of life that you can enjoy here. One problem with assessing an area where you want to buy a house is that you usually have only one or two visits to look at the surroundings. This is not enough to grasp all the features of a new place.

The spread of this blog with information and comments over a longer period of time may help the reader to understand the possibilities of a life on the Costa Blanca.
