I want to live in Spain

One of the first places we looked was Novelda. A flat in one of the main squares in fact it was up above the wee ice cream shop in your video. . But we ended up in Torrevieja. We plan a visit back there to see the church.

Novelda is 20 mins from us, it`s a great town has everything you need. A lot of the white marble that they process comes from the quarry where we are.

Just down the road from us in Monovar we love the place.

Well, technically, the invaders were the Muslims, who crossed the Strait of Gibraltar in 711 AD, expelled the Visigoth Christian barbarians and took over the Iberian Peninsula. 11 years later, in 722, in the mountains of northern Spain, in the Covadonga gorge, some mountaineers led by the leader Pelayo, destroyed a Muslim expedition and began the Reconquista, in which the Christians advanced towards the south, liberating territories. This period lasted 800 years, (722-1492 ), and ended with the taking of Granada by the Catholic Monarchs, expelling the last Muslim king of Spain, Boabdil. The Christians, when they occupied a territory expelling the Muslims, used to build a strategic castle, called Castillo de Frontera ( border castle), which served to monitor and consolidate the liberated territory. Spain has hundreds of castles of this type, as the reconquest progressed from the north to the south, century by century.

I’ve not been to Novelda, but I have seen their football team play Torrevieja, there was a mass brawl after a Novelda player booted a Torrevieja player who had just scored. Great stuff!

If you look at the doorway into the church it looks like "the Golden M". 😂 Really enjoying your video of an interesting place off the usual tourist track. Thank you!❤

That chruch is utterly extraordinary. It looks like something designed by Antoni Gaudi. The exterior would not look out of place on the set of Star Wars. What a brilliant, ispirational discovery. I am determined to visit. Thanks again :-)

Very informative Barry great video

If that church was in the UK the local council would demolish it. That,s the difference between them and us, they preserve their heritage. There would be a tesco store there now.

So very true. An old building in our old town back home got knocked down because the owner set it on fire as was having trouble selling it for the money he wanted. Exterior was fine. Its was over 100 year old building. He got it knocked down day after the fire and before the council could stop him. 😡🤬

We are thinking I buying a property in Spain.

Novelda, like many of the villages/small towns within an hour or so's drive from the coastal areas are very picturesque plus are close to the 'Real Spain' than much of the coast, and some vey good bargains can be had. My wife and l visited the church about twenty years ago. While we were there a wedding party arrived so we were treated by all dressed in their finery. some very elegantly dressed ladies. l believe the church's design was inspired by Gaudi, hence the similarity to the cathedral at Barcelona... l lived in a small village further inland in Castilla la Mancha, most if no all have a strong Moorish (Islamic) influence that is still apparent today.

Looks quaint and nice would be interesting to see it in the evening, certainly value to be had inland, ah yes the golden gates is everywhere 😂

Reminds me of Glasgow, on a hot Summer’s day, it does!

Wow, we are looking for home in Amadores

Sadly I couldn’t find any home in Novelda for 50k or under

Why did you not buy when you moved to Spain, prices up 50% in Torrevieja and most places , was there a any reason your rented for soo many years ?

@ScottishCoupleInSpain

5 ай бұрын

Hi, thanks for watching. Yes, a good reason. We are not 100% sure about where exactly we want to live yet. We thought we did, but ended up not liking the place for full time living there and we are glad we rented first. We still don’t know for sure so will be renting until we know where we want to be long term.

I would recommend buying after 6mths , as prices are only going up, unless you want to live in the sticks (same for all places) , it's a different world Buying and it's never perfect, but you make it your home and you can always sell up and move on with a Profit ... keep the videos coming and start working on the 10K Party Plan

that works also@@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 , but why not buy with the rent and then its an investment, why pay someone else mortgage , if your renting then its worth buying, can always sell , Prices up 40% in 5yrs, and I bet rent prices also up...

There are thousands in Spain, land with them or land for 3,500 near me. Trouble with Brits they are only in Spain for the 3 S's, Sun Sea and Sangria and all like to congregate in nests on the Costas so pay more.
