You know how it is. You want to move abroad but you're
worried that you won't know anyone there. Maybe there won't be enough
international schools or the English-language community is several miles away
down the coast.
Well, if you're a Brit and you're braving a new life
overseas in Spain, here are five property spots you that ideal for expats:
Benidorm
Spanish property hunters looking for quiet traditional
villages with no tourists, this is not the place for you. Benidorm is a lively
place with buzzing nightlife, thriving beaches and enough developments to
satisfy even the hungriest of investors. The combination of bustling
metropolis, attractions and restaurants make Benidorm a popular hotspot for
international buyers. With one of the biggest British populations in Spain,
expats are guaranteed never to feel lonely.

Costa del Sol East
Divided in two by Malaga, Costa del Sol East is perhaps the
less popular of the two halves. But while the West has Marbella and
Torremolinos, the Eastern coast is equally pretty, with stunning beaches
bringing in Spanish tourists during the summer, while Nerja's famous cave
attracts holiday home hunters from other countries such as Germany.

Costa Calida
Literally translated as the "warm coast", Costa Calida certainly
lives up to its name. The micro-climate along the Murcia coast promises high
temperatures all year round for residents, a large number of whom head to the
area for the world class golf courses. With the gorgeous weather and burning
demand for resorts in La Manga, perhaps the place needs renaming to the "boiling
hot coast".

Moraira
A tourist resort just to North of Alicante, Moraira's
bustling port and picturesque coastline see thousands of visitors flock to the
area during the summer. The town's strict planning laws, which prohibit any
high-rise buildings, ensure the former fishing village stays as beautiful and
unspoilt as ever. No wonder so many expats choose to live here all year round.

Province of Tarragona
Olive groves, orange trees and beautiful valleys of palm
trees are what you can expect from the Tarragona province. This tucked away
coastal area is as secluded as it as stunning, with vineyards, old castles and
unspoilt beaches stretching into the horizon. But buyers of property are never
far from tourists and rental income: it is located only 30 minutes on the train
from Barcelona.
