This is often the most difficult. You can either try and wade your way through thousands of internet pages not knowing where places/areas are, or you can get in a plane, hire a car and drive - looking as you go. This is what we did. Starting in Italy through France and the complete eastern and southern coast of Spain. Very tiring and very expensive.

From all these potential places we chose Almuñecar in the Costa Tropical. We would like you to come to the same decision without all the hard work and problems we experienced. You need to be clear why you are buying in Spain. For investment, to live, long term view, or short term view and also have a clear criteria as  to what location/amenities are important to you, eg, near to schools, shops, beaches etc. That was why we devised the Hotlist.  A search engine with many filters to locate your ideal property. This will save you lots of time and wasted hopes, ie, 4 bed family house for 150,000 Euros which ends up miles from anywhere let alone a Spanish secondary school!

Once you have your selected list of properties you should make an inspection visit, as to buy blind is like playing Russian Roulette, though not fatal, it could cause you much pain.
