Moving to Novelda

There are lots of towns and villages up and down the motorway some of which have many more Britons than others. Villena is a much nicer looking town, in my opinion than Novelda - we were in Novelda on Wednesday and we commented how it always looked a bit scruffy. But scruffy isn't what makes a town nice or not nice to live in.

Elda/Petrer are bigger of course so they have more services and more of the sort of offices you will need to go to to sort documentation. Both have a similar character. Petrer is more Valenciano speaking and Elda Castellano (standard Spanish) I prefer Petrer to Elda - it's the half of the town nearer to the motorway.

If you want to be among more Britons then Sax or Pinoso ( I only mention Pinoso because my partner would be happy to sell you a house)

If you want to be a bit more specific then maybe I can add more. You could have a look at my blog too which is on this site, Life in Culebrón listed under Alicante.

Hello,

I am also looking to rent a flat for 2-4 months to be there in place and to find a job.
Just by curiosity, how did you find the job there ?
Any recommendation ?

Thanks
Regards
Stefan
