Casa em Banda para venda em Salinas, Alicante

Large town house in great village centre location.

We are delighted to present this spacious town house in the heart of Salinas.

The property is in need of some modernisation, however it is a fantastic size. The property opens onto the main street of Salinas, and also a backdoor opens onto a quiet street with hardly any traffic, the locals often sit outside here in the evenings to socialise.

The house has 2 downstairs bedrooms, bathroom, lounge, and kitchen. Upstairs is really a project. Part of the roof has been replace, although another part does need attention. Here there is room for 3 more bedrooms, plus a bathroom.

There is access to a small roof terrace that overlooks the main street of Salinas 

Salinas, a charming town that could soon become your new home. Having lived nearby for 20 years, I can confidently say that Salinas is a place where you can quickly build a network of friends and contacts. It’s a small town where locals soon start recognising you, and both Spanish and ex-pats warmly embrace newcomers, offering help in many areas. The town hall staff are incredibly helpful and friendly too.

Salinas has a strong sense of community, with various Facebook groups where you can benefit from the experience of others, making your transition to a new life much easier. Although it’s a small place, it boasts typical local shops for meat, bread, and other essentials. I always support smaller local businesses, and you will find friendly butchers and bakers within the town, where you can enjoy a personal service and build relationships with the owners, staff, and clients.

For a greater selection of supermarkets, Sax is just a 5-minute drive away. Here, you will find Consum, a store that stocks international foods and has a fantastic fresh fish counter, a vast range of cheeses, vegetables, and cured meats, as well as all the typical items you would hope to find in any major supermarket chain.

If you are concerned about the Spanish health system, worry no more. Salinas has its own health centre, while Sax has a 24-hour medical centre with some English-speaking doctors and nurses. Additionally, Elda hospital, only a 15-minute drive from Salinas, offers excellent healthcare services.

Transportation is convenient with a bus service to Sax, where you have more options to catch a train, taxi, or bus to other surrounding towns and Alicante.

Culture, history, art, and theatre enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy between Salinas and Sax. Both towns have a theatre and a newly built auditorium. The locals celebrate their rich culture throughout the year, with the pinnacle being the Moors and Christians festival. This spectacular event features re-enactments of conquests and victory celebrations with participants dressed in ancient military costumes, blunderbusses and cannons firing in the streets. The "Cuartalillos” are group-owned buildings filled with food and drinks, offering a base for days (and nights) of celebrations. Being invited to these festivities is a great honour, so be sure not to offer to pay, as your hosts will be disappointed – they save all year for the privilege of inviting guests.

Even after 20 years, I still don’t know all the fiestas, but it has become a part of life to walk down the street and find people in costume or engaging in activities their ancestors did. The carnival is more recent, but traditional events like the burial of the Sardines and the town’s walk to the mountain to pick fresh rosemary have been celebrated for many years. These fiestas are always good fun and often involve some alcohol consumption!

With over 50 bars within the two towns, many serving tapas and hearty meals at exceptional prices, you’ll never be short of places to enjoy a meal. A three-course meal, often including beer, wine, or coffee, can be had for around 10 euros. If you ask for wine and they put a bottle on the table, don’t feel you need to drink it all!

We pride ourselves on providing excellent after-sales service and will make your move here straightforward and hassle-free. We have all the contacts you will need to settle in comfortably.

We look forward to welcoming you to Salinas and helping you embark on this exciting new chapter in your life!
