The Secret Ciudad Quesada

I’m happy knowing my way and happy with all those really nice people we meet daily here. Once here there’s plenty to do and see and the food is fantastic, some more shops and less estate agents may help, a bit of tarmac on the roads and a bit of road paint too, maybe better WiFi and a big flyover spray to kill the mosquitoes once a year but otherwise lets give a big cheer for Ciudad Quesada and the people who know where it is.

To address a couple of those "needs" above - A mosquito spray programme is in place and most years (we don't always know they have done it) they spray the local salt lakes where the mosquitoes have their parties lol. It's just that some years are worse than others. It also obviously depends whereabout's you live and unless they are swarming it also can depend on what vegetation you have in your gardens or where and how you sit out at night.
As for Internet personally I've not had a problem with my switch on switch off set up and most people in last few years can find a decent set up to suit them. Things are defo improving!
As for road pot holes, no different to the UK there.
Yes the signage on the roads could do with re-doing more regularly but it's IMO the heat in Summer and heavy rains at times that degrades the chalk paint quicker than UK.
It's still a lovely part of Spain to live as you said above .

The Old Don Carlos serves a decent pint of Guinness and I've found Quesada fish & chips to be good value for money on the infrequent occasions I've happen to dine there but to be totally honest those two apart I've found little else particularly appealing about the place.
Don't take that too personally though, fact is I simply couldn't live on any urb!

Guinness and Fish n Chips? Bet you love going to Scarborough every year.
There are plenty of places in Quesada not on "urbs". However, some "urbs" are very pleasant.

The road signage and markings would be greatly improved [ and last considerably longer ] if the tight local authorities adopted the polymastic [with glass particles ]white lining material which is laid down hot that the UK uses instead of the weak white paint that they use here !!!!

I make you damned right if you are still around Chico
all very well to say it is part of Rojales but when it is dark and your flight has been delayed over an hour and your directions don't mention that it doesn't really help
I drove round for ages not knowing how near I actually was

Each to his own of course, but urbanisation is not what anyone would generally call Quesada these days. It started as an urbanisation years ago but grew bigger and bigger. In fact bigger than Rojales.
Only technically is Quesada an urbanisation these days.It is part of Rojales. There are urbanisations' in most towns and Quesada has many urbs but it isn't 'one' urbanisation.You can choose to live on an urb in Quesada or not, like in many local towns.
