You may indeed ask Tpin. We live in the Murcia region, the agricultural part of Spain. Approximately 50km away from Alicante and 20 minutes drive to the wonderful little Murcia airport. We've seen lots of changes here, some good, some not, we are in a very multi national community, mostly everyone around us is very nice, but we have some very odd multi lingual conversations between us all
However we love it here, there is nothing we miss really. Skype makes it easy to see my son and family virtually every day. We have visited other parts of Spain where other friends live, but we still think here is nicer, although it did get just a bit too hot, even for me last summer. We are very happy here, our oldest friends from UK also live here now, 5 minute walk away, other friends from UK also either live nearby or have holiday homes here, all planning to move here when they retire. It's as good a place as any to be.
It's certainly easier living than Africa, believe me
