What is Canillas de Aceituno like to live in?

Hi there.

It's really difficult to advise anyone on where to live - there are so many variables, and it's such a personal decision. If you are OK about driving here (and it's not a problem after the first 15 minutes of orientating yourself to the 'other side') then I suggest to come over for a couple of months and drive around. Andalucia is huge, and diverse. Cadiz is very different from Almeria, the mountains different from the coast, and villages a couple of km apart can feel like they are in different worlds from each other. The only thing I can be confident of is that life here is cheaper, happier, and more relaxed than the UK!

Good luck, I am sure you will be spoiled for choice.

Yes thank you. We have visited previously and like many regions of Andalucia. At the moment we are concentrating on either Axarquia or the Guadalahorce valley area. But even within this there is a huge range of choice. Driving isn't an issue, age in the future might be so we need community not too far away. We also need winter warmth and a dryer climate for my asthma, so any recommendations would be really appreciated. Thank you again.
