Buying in Onil - Need info about safety and living expense there?

We have found a property online that looks ok. It is Onil.
Can anyone give us advice on living in Onil. The cost of running a town house. Water rates, council taxes, electricity, house insurance.
Is Onil safe.
The property if we buy, will be empty for long periods, any security risks?
We want a place with a fair to good selection of tapas restraunts, bars and some shops.
The info on the internet is limited, but it does sudgest that there is some history, castle, walking, cycling. Comunity pool maybe.
All advice and information gratefully received.
We are a middle aged couple, still plenty of life, needing somewhere to rest and play.

Hi Chris

I dont live in Onil but do own 2 town houses there , never had a problem with security , the town is very nice and well connected to the motorway , so great for the airport and beach !
the town hall is very interesting also there is a toy museum as toy making is one of Onils main industry .

Let me know if you need help finding property there as I have an Estate agent friend

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the reply.
The houses in Onil that you own, do you let them, or is there a rental, market there?
I am trying to cover as many bases as possible.
Is there anyone on this site that you know, that lives in Onil.?
