Jumilla - Santa Ana del Monte - Developments
Submitted by debsjenkins on Mon, 19/05/2008 - 11:58.Hi
for anyone purchasing a property from the San Jose developer (Santa Ana Del Monte in Jumilla) there's been some bad news - they have applied for court protection - basically meaning that if you have put a deposit down for a property you will have to join the (possibly long!) creditors list.
Justin at EyeOnSpain.com (a great site for anyone buying off-plan, I've recommended him before) has a thread here: http://www.eyeonspain.com/forums/posts-long-4308.aspx

Moving to Spain - the easy way? ("You've gotta be joking!)
Submitted by Suemac on Tue, 16/10/2007 - 14:37.Your Name:
Sue McGinlay
Where are you from?:
South London
Where do you live now?:
Santa Ana del Monte, near Jumilla
Who did you come here with?:
Partner / Husband / Wife
What's your best bit of advice for people thinking of doing the same as you?:
Make sure that you do your research first, and even when you think you have found the ideal location, spend some time there before deciding to buy. If there are two of you, both of you should give the properties you view marks out of 10 to ensure you are equally keen, as this is a major, life-changing decision!
What plans do you have for your future in Spain?:
We both hope to work part-time. I am a complementary therapist and hope to improve my Spanish to the extent that I can give treatments to local people, We would also like to work with businesses in the local town of Jumilla and arrange running holidays with a difference: not just running in the beautiful countryside around Santa Ana del Monte, but wine tastings at local bodegas and walks along Jumilla's historic trail.
In your experience, what is the biggest mistake other people make when moving to Spain?:
Being unrealistic: expecting the lively summer holiday resort to be as lively during the winter months, and expecting to find work when they don't speak Spanish.
Why did you decide to come here?:
We were looking for a typical working Spanish town, with markets, shops, bars and restaurants that didn't just serve British breakfasts and Sunday roasts. We found that in Jumilla, plus beautiful scenery, lots of history, excellent wine and very friendly local people.
What did you leave behind?:
Rain, the stress of working in London especially the commuting, the cost of eating out and living generally - oh, did I mention the rain? Of course we are both leaving our families behind too, however they are queuing up to spend their holidays with us!
What work do you do?:
I work part-time as an administrator and also work as a complementary therapist. John works as a civilian for the Met Police. We both hope to find part-time work in Spain.
What made you choose this location? Did you know much about it before you moved here?:
<p align="left">
We had decided that we would prefer to live inland away from the obvious tourist spots. Although we have enjoyed holidays in Galicia and the Basque country, the climate there is too much like the UK! We came on a couple of viewing trips in this location before deciding that we liked the area enough to want to live here, and we spent a week in the local town of Jumilla before deciding to pay the reservation fee.
</p>
Tell us about the place you live? What's it like (a house, apartment, flat, etc)? What are your neighbours like?:
Santa Ana del Monte is a golf resort on the outskirts of the wine town of Jumilla. We are buying a quad (two semi-detached houses backing onto another two semis). We have met many of our new neighbours, and they are moving for similar reasons to us, and so we have made many new friends already. About half of the purchasers are Spanish, which we see as a very positive sign.
What's the best thing about where you live?:
The mountain views, if it has to be one thing, but also the lovely town of Jumilla, which is just up the road, the friendliness of the local people plus, of course, the wine!
What have you learned about your area that you think other people should know?:
If you go to the local tourist office, you can get a map of the town which shows the historic trail and it is well worth spending a day exploring it. Don't miss the Botanical Gardens on the outskirts of the town either. We enjoyed a 10 euro menu del dia at the Casa Molowny which is on the edge of Jumilla on the road to Hellin. It was very popular with the locals too, which is always a good sign!
Is there anything you're not so happy about?:
Only the delays in licences coming through, as we can't wait to move there!
How important do you think it is to be able to speak Spanish?:
It is very important to speak as much Spanish as you are able to, as people really appreciate you making the effort. In Jumilla, many people don't speak English - and why should they?
Do you miss anything from your home country?:
Our friends and families, but nothing else. We can always visit them if we run our of Marmite!
Do you have any regrets?:
None so far. Hopefully I will give the same answer if you ask me in 10 years' time!
