This is one of the best presentations of anything I've ever seen on KZread particularly when it's referencing a place to visit or live. I'm hooked. I'm now a subscriber. You presentation is unmatched. You're professional without being dry of stuffy. Or the worst, without presenting things that leave me wanting more or wondering if this is real or not. I was researching Portugal as a place to live when I retire, but with the way things are going there I've turned to Spain. I only just heard of Alicante and would actually like to find more info. on the surrounding areas that may be even cheaper but can easily access Alicante when necessary. I live in the US and my fiancé is Iranian and our hopes of getting him here are dim. We will not go into that! Anyway, thanks of much for your videos and I am going to watch more of them.

Hi Dennis! Thank you so much for all of your encouragement! What an incredibly kind comment! I hope you're able to find just the perfect place for you and your fiancé. Generally speaking, in the Valencian community, the more inland you go, the less expensive it gets. But starting by knowing if you are only wanting to travel by train, or if you're willing to own a car, will help you determine how far from the city you can look. 🙂

Thanks for the reply. I forwarded your info. to my fiancé. He is a city boy living in Tehran, but we've visited the Turkish area of the Datca Peninsula and he loved it.And we were able to visit many other areas of Turkey. Actually I do not want to live in a city. And as usual it's cheaper to live outside of them. I'm not saying I wouldn't live in Alicante, but I still think I would be happier outside of the city. Of course I must plan a trip to experience the regions. Even if he does get to the US it would be great to have a place in Spain. In particular Costa Blanca and vicinity. I'm going to watch your other videos. I also found one with a lawyer and a couple of young ladies interviewing him and explaining the process of buying a property in Spain. If you have suggestions in that area I would greatly appreciate your input. Once again thanks fir your videos. You've inspired me! Oh yeah! I live in Connecticut, born and raised. But I did live in NYC, London, and Maui, Hawaii. Where are you from?

I've heard so many good things about Alicante. Great video!

This is why the Spanish are demonstrating they are being robbed of their country. I wonder if a Spanier wanted to United States and buy a property and do the same thing if they would be given the chance probably not.

I hope to visit there in June. Thanks for creating this video.

Great video about a great city! Thank you. I happily subscribed.

We are planning a visit there soon, and this is helpful - thank you! 🙂

Nice video. Unfortunately, I am stuck in NYC for now, and I only can watch videos of beautiful Spain.

I visited Spain before, and I speak intermediate level Spanish. But I have to work for now, before I retire. And for retirement I always considered moving to Spain or Mexico.

Very nice and informative video. Thank you

Thank you for this video! My husband and I live in Denver and are looking for a holiday home in Spain and have narrowed our search to Valencia or Alicante as we can get to either in just two flights (via FRA or MUC from DEN). We are coming to do some boots on the ground research mid June. Can you make a video on how to get started with a property search in Spain? Who should we seek out once there? Also are tourist licenses an issue in either Valencia or Alicante? We definitely want to short term let our apartment when we aren’t there. Thanks for all the info! x

Excellent video!

Thank you! 😊

in Alicante castle? If you don't want to walk, go up by car, or look for another means of transportation... you can go up in the elevator, which takes you to the top of the castle itself... ask where it is... greetings

Cool! Thanks for the info!

Great video! Based on your knowledge of Alicante, what would you estimate as the price range for monthly (or long term) rental similar to the Airbnb you chose? I'm looking for a studio or 1BR centrally located with a sea view. My time frame is flexible but probably closer to the end of the year around Nov/Dec 2024. Is idealista the best place to search? Suggestions welcome, thanks!

@traveltomoney

Ай бұрын

I think idealista.com is a great place to start. I also like local expat Facebook groups for asking about rental options. I've never joined those groups in a city that large, but it could be helpful. For something that centrally located or with a view, I would imagine 1,000 per month would be the starting point. 🙂

Do you have a link to the Airbnb by any chance

Sure, here you go! Just one note, the wifi wasn't great, so if you depend on that for work or anything, it would be a dealbreaker. 🙂 air.tl/HRg5WzEX

Hello! I'm based in the US. I do help some people with financial coaching, but I'm not a financial advisor. So, I help with budget creation and setting up financial structure, but I don't give investment advice. 🙂

That's just not true. Just like every other country, there are people who support tourism and immigration and people who don't. I spoke to my attorney recently and asked, "Do you think it's okay if what I'm talking about online is bringing people here?" This was a question specifically about the town I live in. He explained that many of the towns that aren't large cities like Madrid and Barcelona are dying because agriculture was the primary industry and is no longer providing. Young people are moving to the big cities. He said, "If we don't make these towns desirable for people to come and live, they will die." They actually have a three year project to put in a road to my town with better access to the beach so that more expats or immigrants will want to live there. And a city like alicante is not at all suffering from something like over tourism. It's mostly locals.
