Living in Quesada
by LesT » Thu May 11, 2017 9:19 am
Would the members say Quesada is a nice place to move to live?
I am arriving in Spain in about 10 days time and I am looking at renting a property to get 'a feel' of Quesada and the surrounding area/towns.
I'm moving to Spain on my own, I'm a 54 year old male.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Les

We will have lived here 4 years in July and we love it. Plenty of people here through the winter too.

It's a great place to live although you have to be aware it's very British. Employment is difficult to get unless you become self employed but you can't beat waking up to the Sun most days.

I'm not a golfer but as you're into it there are a few courses around outside of Quesada such as La Finca near Algorfa which I think is a bit upmarket and Vistabella golf on Entre Naranjos where I live are currently up grading the course to championship standard. Also you may find house prices cheaper as well in these areas

Les, these days the Internet is a monster information machine. I do believe asking Quesada people what it's like to live in Quesada would bring a very biased response! Come, stay and see !

But of course. Nothing wrong with Quesada.
I live about 10 mins up the road, in the real countryside, but only a stones throw away from Quesada, little more peace and fields around me, which I prefer. Happy to jump in the car for a 10 min drive to Quesada, I can walk to Rojales & Beniamar as not too far away.
Horses for courses. You will get a little more for your money if just outside of main area such as central Quesada - so a balance, plenty of other places around / nearby as well. Renting always good initially, give yourself time to find your feet.
We rented initially in Orihuela Costa / Playa Famenca. Hated it, tourist central in the summer, traffic on the N332, drunk holiday makers screaming past your door early hours, building works....No thanks. Living in a backward farming village, 10 mins from beach, everyone friendly, no crime, no traffic and no issues parking & nice mix of Spanish & expats.
For me the worst thing would be to move to 'little Britain' not interested in spending all day in bars and Kareoke - fortunately not too much of that in Quesada - more of it Torre / Orihuela Costa. Some like it, not everyone....
Quite like having 'one foot in both camps' local Spanish restaurants / tapas bars etc, then when I need an Indian / Chinese / familiar take aways, only 5-10 mins.

I cannot speak for Quesada but we have a beautiful place on the La Mata side of Torrevieja which is a joy to stay in. The sea and beaches are closely, lots of Scandinavian people have been buying in the area so they tend to be in the area from September until April/May and return home for the milder weather. These people speak English and are all retired like ourselves. We watch them playing boules or potanca ( unsure of spelling) twice a week and they go for food and drink afterwards so seem to have great camaraderie .....you can do this in Quasada too. If you genuinely play golf on a very regular basis, then Quesada would suit perfectly. I am told that the restaurant attached to t
La Marquese golf club us excellent so that is another bonus. In truth, you will be very happy living in a sunny,warm country country if you find the right home for yourself. Look for car parking, open space, somewhere to dry your washing, storage for outdoor furniture when going away, somewhere to store your beach chairs and suitcases. A home must have extra space for a bicycle , tools, golf clubs, trolley and all other everyday needs.you probably won't need your wetsuit so that will be a bonus! Make a list and do not be carried away with first impressions..remember, you can always make the place suitable for your tastes. If you read any of the local newspapers, you will see that there are Golf societies which could be perfect for you! You are a lucky fellow to be changing your life and coming to live the dream! Enjoy your life in Spain and get your handicap down. Please keep us updated on how things pan out for you. Good luck. Regards.
