If you're UK passport holders are you aware of the post Brexit visa requirements?

Quesada is nice, plenty of bars and plenty of resale property.
However,be aware, it's not a typical quaint Spanish town, it's very anglified and it has little to no transport links to anywhere else, so you will need a car.
I also notice the cost of eating out and drinks is a bit more expensive than neighbouring areas,again probably due to the large amount of British visitors.
However, as I said, it's a nice place to relocate to.

Hi Graeme & Teresa Quesada is a lovely place to live providing u go about it the right way we came here 12 years ago from Scotland & never regretted it once but we like u did our recce first & were advised to come out & rent long term first & thats what we did until we found our way around which we then bought as it was pointed out that if u rent its easy to move but if u buy its not so easy to move house. You will find that like any place else u can get good & bad neighbors, Also transport is a must in Quesada as no buses or trains & its not always easy to get a taxi. If its any help to you we live in Dona Pepa a very popular area with plenty of houses & Bars & restaurants but they can have strange opening hours as since Brexit & Covid u cant get a job unless your legal now. If its of any help were going out tonight to La Vida a nice local bar that has live music or Karaoke most nights of the week we have a table booked from 7-30pm so if u want to join us just ask for Doug & Fay at the bar Tonight its Nico a very good Dutch entertainer who sings in English & on Sunday we will be there again to be entertained by Chloe Leigh same times & table. or more info PM us.

Quesada is OK if you like that sort of environment and the lifestyle it offers but it's certainly not for everyone.

Nowhere is "for everyone".
We bought a holiday apartment in 2001 in the Villarmartin area. Nice for a week or so visit but longer stays showed it wasn't the place for us and we bought in Los Altos Torrevieja in 2003. Sold that in 2008 as, again, it wasn't for us.
By this time we'd decided were going to retire here as the place was growing on us. We'd been to Quesada in 2003 and came to the area by the Arches and turned round thinking that wasn't for us. Industrial buildings, waste ground and looked pretty shabby.
It wasn't until 2008 that we were shown other places in Quesada and realised how different it was. As we were retiring here in a few years, we bought a house to have a garden and so on in the Dona Pepa area. Moved here permanently in 2011 and have loved all our time here.
The centre of town has been completely repaved and designed, Dona Pepa is nice and flat so no hills. We have a bowling alley, more restaurants with different cuisine than you could ever get through and we don't find them more expensive than surrounding areas, particularly if you are talking of Torrevieja or Villamartin. Some of the coastal towns are much more expensive for bars and restaurants.
We have a mini golf, lovely neighbours and a lovely house. The only thing lacking is the public transport but that seems to be the case in all the off coast towns. We have a marvellous health centre with a marvellous doctor, virtually every service you could name on our doorstep.
Very friendly town hall (which makes a difference). Several very friendly bars in walking distance with restaurants and every major supermarket you could think of.
Butchers, bakers and I'm sure there must be a candlestick maker somewhere around.
Did I mention our lovely neighbours? Yes, a lot of holiday homes which makes it busy in the Summer but not overpowering. The big plus is that it is an all year round town. Loads of people here throughout the year so the bars and restaurants are also lively. And it's so easy to get anywhere provided you are driving.
Talking to a Spanish lady at the chiropodist my wife goes to (yes, we have several of those as well) and even the local population are not happy about the lack of public transport but every time a company starts a service, it is hardly ever used so they can't make a business out of it.
No place is right for everyone but it's one place we have found that suits us down to the ground. Company if we want, quiet living if we don't. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea but we fit it and it fits us absolutely perfectly.
And house prices are still very reasonable.

No mention of the, hugger muggers, the over flowing bins etc, but come and see make your own minds up,
Speaking Spanish would realy be a big help, the waiting and reams of paper work just to open a utility contract ,broadband contract or such like,the cost of bank charges etc
