The apartment is situated on the Los Naranjos community which, at the time of writing this listing, has recently undergone a major painting project and further works are being carried out including the refurbishment of the swimming pool.

The Los Naranjos urbanization is a 20 minute walk, or 4 minute drive, from the town of Los Gallardos where there are bars and restaurants, 2 banks, medical centre, dentist, clothes shops, beauticians, three small supermarkets, bakeries, butcher, fishmonger and a weekly street market offering a large selection of fresh fruit and vegetables.

The beaches of Mojácar, Garrucha and Vera are only 15 minutes drive away and the A7/E15 is close making travelling times to Almería, Murcia and Alicante airports 45,80 and 120 minutes respectively.

Golfers have a varied selection of courses to choose from in the area including Marina Playa on the coast, the Arizona style course at Desert Springs and the Valle del Este with 4* Hotel & Spa just a few kilometres away.

Walking, bowls and craft clubs are also plentiful; as are health, fitness and wellbeing ones with running, cycling and swimming clubs plus yoga and fitness classes with some taking place on the beaches of Mojácar and Vera. There is always something that you can get involved with should you wish to.

It may sound impossible but skiing in the morning and being on the beach in the afternoon is possible, if you want to try it, as the Sierra Nevada ski resort is only 2½ hours away and in recent years has grown in popularity with some of the best snowfalls in Europe in late winter / early spring.

Los Gallardos is a popular destination for the Spanish and tourists alike for the annual Three Kings celebration and re-enactment in January and also the grand 5 day & night fiesta held in July. The village has received considerable funding through more recent years to build a new health centre, school, sports facilities and theatre.
