When was that, Tom?
I briefly stayed in VM in October 2016, on one of my recces before moving over. Admittedly it would be pretty quiet in October, but even then it did not have any sense of place, it just felt like a soul-less estate.
When we moved over in June 2017 we rented in La Florida for a few months, whilst house-hunting. We viewed some houses in VM but although they were impressive, the area felt wrong. To be fair that's how we felt about most of Orihuela Costa.
We kept being drawn back to Quesada and eventually bought here. Where we are now (overlooking La Marquesa) is closer to Rojales than Quesada centre, so perhaps it has more of a sense of place for that reason.
Of course it's all subjective. We had relatives over in the summer, they are looking to relocate to Spain. They found Quesada too quiet but seemed to love Orihuela Costa. Each to his own.
