Orihuela Costa, Spain, Jean Johansson

Jean Johansson has her work cut out as she searches for a holiday home on Spain’s Orihuela Costa for married couple Karen and Paul from South Lanarkshire. They’re looking for a holiday home which works for all three generations of their family. But, with a budget of £75,000, can Jean find them everything they are looking for?

About the area

At the southern end of the Costa Blanca with Torrevieja to the north and the Mar Menor south, the Orihuela costa is really easy to get to with two airports within roughly an hour’s drive. It’s a beautiful ten mile stretch of coastline home to a number of popular seaside resorts, such as Cabo Roig with its popular marina and Punta Prima best known for its beach. There are also some great spots away from the coast like Villamartin with its famous restaurant filled plaza, and La Florida very popular with expats.
