Deciding where to live in Alicante

We will be moving from to Madrid to Alicante in February. We haven't decided yet whether to rent long term in Alicante city or up the coast in Javea. How (and where) are the folks in this group finding the best Spanish-expat mix ?

Welcome on board bristolbrett,

I moved the discussion to the Alicante forum ;)

Thanks Julien !
