Hi, My partner and I currently live in Australia (both EU Nationals) and are very seriously considering buying property around Granada. For the next few years, it would be a holiday home or rented locally if possible, with the aim of moving into it later. We will be in teh area in August and are hoping to visit some properties and also find out what the process would be and potentially the tax or other implications of having a property there whilst living abroad. Could anyone direct me to a good website explaining this and a reliable estate agent who will not be on holidays in August (19-26). Thank you!

We are considering a move to the area around Taberno. Is there anyone who lives in that part of Almeria who could share information on the  potentialsocial life and particularly climate.  It seems to be quite exposed to the weather but as the wind has been quite strong this winter it is hard to make a judgement.  We are keen gardeners and wold like to be able to establish a garden.
