Nightlife:
The area is geared up for families, so if you are looking for lots of bars and clubs then this is definitely NOT the place for you.
There is a small bar / restaurant within a few hundred yards of the villa, but there is not a local night-life.
The villa is more set up for a nice , quiet, peaceful time spent relaxing in private grounds, enjoying the cheap, good quality food and drink.
The lovely resorts along the coast do have some excellent restaurants, which make dining out a real pleasure, but there are no nightclubs to speak of
A car is essential to enjoy the area
Airports:
There are 2 major airports that serve the area. The nearest is at San Javier (called Murcia airport) which is just 15 minutes away (no aircraft fly near the villa) and is ideal for its proximity and because it is small there are no hold ups whatsoever
The other is at Alicante which is much larger and is 1 hour away
Both airports are served by the many low cost airlines
Driving:
A car is essential but don't be put off by driving here. The rules are very simple and the road system is excellent.
The very low amount of traffic in the area is reminiscent of the UK some 40 years ago and driving here is a pleasure ( I can't remember seeing one speed camera in all the time I have been here !)
There are no toll roads in the region of Murcia either
