Should have checked your profile!!!!!!
Mar Menor or La Torre for us.
Have two children so schools may be the deciding factor!

Loads to choose from - fee-paying (Kings College which is about 100metres from the back gate.!) or 'State Schools' in the local towns. Your Kids will be fluent Spanish-speakers VERY quickly.Should have checked your profile!!!!!!

As for flights to San Javier (Murcia) from Aberdeen, I'm not sure which airline - if any - covers that particular route.

Think I can go to Alicante in summer direct, but will have to fly via London in the winter. That said can always get via Amsterdam etc.
IRIS, I think you are correct!
Extensivley researching all areas of Costa Calida etc. You been to Mazarron etc?
Cheers
B
Yes we have, Mazzaron is a good hours drive from San Javier and approx 2 hrs from Alicante (toll roads).IRIS, I think you are correct!

You face a hell of a commute
Not as easy as yours! 
Dependent on flight times I will travel to Edinburgh during the winter and stay with the parents before the early morning flight out.
Will need to see what is happening ref Corvera airport also.
MJV from ABZ is direct also during the summer but a stop off in London during the winter. Plenty options but looking like a 10 hour commute in winter.
Have Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh UK wise and MJC Alicante and Corvera when it opens in Spain so plenty of options to find the best commute.
Coming out next summer for a few weeks and other hols poss christmas etc.
Wife will b out for the full summer, so may get a catch up if you fancy it?
Cheers

Hi we have moved to Almanzora near Albox Almeria,
have been here for 3 months and love the Spanish lifestlye,
does anyone know where there are any trackdays happening in the area so we can meet up with other expats and have a blast up the autopistas and safely have some fun on a track.

Bumped. Well that's it done. House on the market and long term rental in Spain agreed from July of this year. Been a long wait but plenty of visits and time to plan have made it worth while. Will be initially on Roda golf in Los alcazares with kids in school in town then looking to buy in 11 months time from then around the area if we decide it is definitely for us.
