Moving to Los Alcazares, Spain

"It is important to research the cost of living and housing in Los Alcazares before moving. It is also important to know the language of the area, as Spanish is predominantly spoken in Los Alcazares. As Los Alcazares is close to the coast, it is important to try to organise health insurance that includes emergency medical care while at the beach or engaging in water sports. It is also important to familiarise yourself with the regulations and laws in Spain, as these may differ to other countries. The best way to integrate into the community is to get to know your neighbours and join local community activities. Public transport in the area can also be helpful to get around," said one expat who made the move to Los Alcazares.

We now have a number of groups with 8 share owned boats,and members with privately owned boats," explained one expat living in Los Alcazares, Spain.
