What about Sax ? I’ve been here 18 years and, although I’ve built up many friends and contacts, you too can soon do this. It’s a relatively small town so local people soon start recognising you and both Spanish and ex pats embrace newcomers, and offer help in many areas. There are various facebook groups where you will benefit from the experience of others making your new life easy to adapt to.

Most famous for its castle, but also the birthplace of Alberto Sols a famous chemist, successful sportspersons, authors, musicians, and the incredible Moros and Christians festival which celebrates their patron saint…. The beloved San Blas.

I say it’s a relatively small place, but Sax has everything that you really need. A selection of supermarkets including Consum that stocks international foods, as well as a fantastic fresh fish counter, vast range of cheeses, vegetables and cured meats, as well as the typical items that you would hope to find in any major supermarket chain.

I didn’t mention meat or bread etc, wherever possible I like to support the smaller local businesses, and you will find some fantastic butcherers, and bakers within the town where you will get a more personal service, and build up a relationship with the owners, staff and clients.

If you are worried about how you will manage with the Spanish health system, then worry no more. Sax has a 24-hour medical centre with English some speaking doctors and nurses, so does the Elda hospital which is only 5 minute drive away from Sax. There is of course an ambulance service based within the town. The standard of health care here is excellent.

Transport links don’t come much better than in Sax either. There is a regular bus service heading to one town inland (Villena, that then loops back and passes through several towns on the way back to where it started in Alicante). For less than 5 euros you can travel in a comfortable airconditioned bus to Alicante and be there in less than an hour. We are also just 7km from the high-speed railway station of Santa Eualia (Villena) where you can catch a train to Madrid or Alicante and arrive incredibly quickly. Perfect for a day out in the Spanish capital.

There is also a train station in Sax, but that is for the traditional line that doesn’t go as quick, and has a few stops, but it’s incredibly handy to get you into the centre of Alicante, and again is low cost.

Do you like culture, history, art, theatre ? Sax has no shortage of these either. The town has a theatre, and a newly built auditorium. The Saxonians celebrate their rich culture on many occasions throughout the year, with the pinnacle being 5 days of the Moors and Christians festival in February, something that really needs to be seen to be believed. From the re-enactment of Conquests and Victory celebrations from many years again with blunderbusses and cannons firing in the streets, with all participants in ancient military costume it really is a spectacular event. Then there are the "Cuartalillos” which a group owned buildings owned by revellers which ae filled with food and drinks and offer a base for the days (and nights) of celebrations. There is no greater honour for members to invite guests to eat and drink with them. For sure at some time you will be invited, just don’t make the mistake of offering to pay, as your hosts will be most disappointed. They save all year to have the privilege of inviting people.

Even after 18 years here I don’t know what all of the fiestas are, it just becomes a part of life to walk down the street one day and find a few hundred people in costume or doing activities which their great grandparents and relatives before then also did. The carnival is more recent but things like the burial of the Sardines and the day where almost all of the town walks to the mountain to pick a sprig of fresh Rosemary have been done for many years. Suffice to say although you may not know what is quite happening in some of the fiestas, they are always good fun, and nearly always end up with some alcohol consumption !

Daarover gesproken, er zijn bijna 50 bars in de stad, waarvan vele tapasgerechten serveren, menu's van de dag die gericht zijn op het verstrekken van stevig voedsel aan de arbeiders voor uitzonderlijke prijzen. Voor 10 euro kun je op veel plaatsen een 3-gangenmaaltijd kopen, vaak inclusief bier, wijn of koffie. Als je om wijn vraagt en ze zetten een fles op tafel ... Heb dan niet het gevoel dat je alles moet opdrinken. Wijn is hier goedkoop, en ze zijn blij dat je zoveel kunt drinken als je wilt en dienovereenkomstig in rekening brengen. Van eenvoudige restaurants tot meer stijlvolle restaurants, je hebt hier alles.

Als u ervoor kiest om hier te wonen of te investeren, zult u merken dat het een steeds populairdere plaats is, afgezien van de reeds genoemde dingen is er een geweldig klimaat met meer dan 300 dagen zon per jaar. Dit is zonder de hoge luchtvochtigheid van de kust en de inferno-achtige temperaturen waar het binnenland van Spanje in de zomer last van heeft.

Met 18 jaar ervaring in het verkopen van onroerend goed in dit gebied kunt u rekenen op een eersteklas service en veel lokale kennis. Ik heb mensen met problemen geholpen en doe dat nog steeds, zelfs bij mijn allereerste klanten. Veel van mijn zaken worden gedaan op basis van persoonlijke aanbevelingen, en ik heb veel tevreden klanten die je graag vertellen over hun koopervaring met Mark op findafinca4u
