Sucina Is A Great Little Village In Southern Spain

Sucina in Spain is about ten kilometres from the Mediterranean and is a lovely little village of about 2,000 people. It is only about a 40 minute drive to Torrevieja where there is a weekly market every Friday. The town has over 100 bars and has some great restaurants down by the harbour where there are some superb fish restaurants which use fish straight off the fishing boats. There are plenty of shops in Torrevieja, which is a town of around 85,000 people and caters for every taste.

Back in Sucina, of the 2,000 or so people who live there, around 300 of them are British, so if you are looking for Sucina villas for sale with a view to either using one as a holiday home and renting it out for the rest of the year, or are considering one as a retirement home, and you like the peace and quiet of the countryside, then you will have plenty of company. It is not essential to speak Spanish, although it is a fairly easy language to learn and it is well worth doing. Most of the local shops can cope with English speakers, as can the cafes and bars, but the local community centre does free Spanish lessons, and the locals come there to learn English too!

There are also two golf courses very close to Sucina, so if you are a golfer you are well catered for. In addition, there are several restaurants so if you don’t feel like cooking you can dine out instead. Restaurant La Vista is open 7 days a week and does tapas from 1.00pm to 5.30 pm, and then a la carte from 7.00pm to 10.30pm and doesn’t close until midnight. There is also TexMex which is off the Square and offers Mexican food, as you might guess.

There is a social club in the village which is open on Friday nights and is for the English, and you can join in a quiz and play card games. The local Spanish residents are really very friendly and in addition there is a bar in the village where the locals and the English meet up for a chat.
