We bought the apartment to \"dip a toe\" into the Spanish way of life with a view to possible retirement in Denia. After 7 years we become more convinced that we did the right thing, it is a beatiful, laid back, elegant town that has a way of quickly making friends with you. My advice for future buyers in Spain ? Lots of research, and then more research with reputable companies. In the meantime, please come and explore our adoptive second home in our own little piece of Spain. Ray & Sue.
