Thought it'd be nice to have a positive posting sharing the things that we love about living in this part of Spain. I'll start - so many things I enjoy about this place but one of my favourite things is the kind and friendly locals who have made us feel so welcome here.

Great idea - we love it here and get fed up when we here other people moaning - would love to see more input on this thread with all the good things about spanish life! We love the markets - we go shopping for lovely fresh fruit, veg and cheese, then have a coffee and enjoy the hustle and bustle/people watching.

The Summer village ferias are wonderful

It is still €1 for a beer.

I agree witg mrorangepeel about the markets - i like the clothes markets best of all!

The slow, tranquil and peaceful life here in the mountains of Axarquia

Great to hear all the different things that people enjoy about costa d sol, keep those comments coming!
