There's Templum at Vera playa - about 10 mins from Mojacar. Good after a day on the nudist beaches there.

Costa Blanca Spain...


"We are shortly moving over to Spain full time to either Alicante or Mojacar (will no more at the end of the month) just wondering if there are any clubs over their? any help and advice would be most welcome"

In and around Alicante city there are 5 swinger clubs.

Jardin del Eden, Cupido, Aditi, Artevete, and El Paradise.

There is (maybe was as the website has disappeared) another at Elche and the new Besos in Guardamar opens shortly.

Also within striking distance is Secreto at Santomera (Between Murcia city and Orihuela)

There are no clubs on the Costa Blanca north of Alicante (including Benidorm)

At Vera the is the above mentioned Templum, but to the best of our knowledge it only opens at weekends.

The Mojacar/Vera area is very nice but the season is short and in the winter months it can be almost deserted. For full time living you would really need to enjoy the quiet life there.

Just come back from a short break in Vera, and I can confirm, it’s awfully quiet and most bars are closed .. but still nice and there is a little fun to be had, but travel is a must

Hi I live roughly halfway between your 2 possible places to live, given previous advice you might be better off living in my area as you have a choice where to go fairly quickly. I've had very little success on fab to be fair but I'm older and single so that's a disadvantage. In any event I wish you the best of luck in your quest!

Costa Blanca Spain...

We've already passed some of this on to the OP by PM but for anyone thinking of making the move here are a few important tips.

We would always advise anyone thinking of making the move to do the research properly. The 3 day property tour then buying a place on the last day (as many did during the boom years of the early 2000's) is a recipe for disaster.

If possible rent for a few months (or even a year) before plunging in and buying a place. If you get it wrong it's much easier to get out of a rental than trying to sell.

If you can't do that then at least visit the area a few times, and at different times of the year. The place you fell in love with in July can be a lot different in February.

Many places descend into ghost towns once the summer season finishes and can be dead for 8 or 9 months of the year.

If buying a property never ever use a lawyer recommended by the estate agent or builder. Invariably there is a conflict of interest and most are more concerned about getting the deal done than your best interests.

Don't get blinded by romantic notions that you want to live in "Real Spain" and finish up in a farm house halfway up a mountain (as some friends of ours did) Inland Spain is very different to the Costa's and very few Brits can actually hack it once the novelty has worn off. We know some who have but many more who haven't. Also in these areas your Spanish would really have to be up to speed or you would really struggle.

Also us of a certain age have to think about healthcare and hospitals. That lovely mountain view or beach just down the road are no good whatsoever when you've got chest pains and the nearest hospital is an hour away (as can be the case)

We've had a house in the Orihuela Costa area (which includes Playa Flamenca, La Zenia, Cabo Roig, La Florida, and Villamartin among others) for nearly 20 years and we know the whole coast pretty well, and that is the area we prefer. It can be a bit crazy for a couple of months in the summer but there is still a decent population through the winter and always something going on. Also (as I can personally testify) there is an excellent hospital close by.

We are certain it won't be everybody's cup of tea but it's certainly worth a look.

Interesting as we thought about this too, but have been thinking about the Canaries as the climate is fairly good all year round but the logistics is something else.

We live most of the year in Javea, about 1hr north of Alicante by road. We visit El Jardin del Eden in Alicante every Wednesday, and it's great.

Plenty of research and visits pay off when buying.

It would depend on personal circumstances. As it stands at the moment some will be affected more than others.

However depending on how the final deal maps out that could change, for better or worse.

I'm married to a German and have been resident in Germany for over 5 years. So for or me it's just a bit of inconvenience and a bit of extra paperwork, but nothing serious.

Trust me, I've checked.

We don't know of any on the south Costa Blanca or in Alicante city.

However there is a good LGBT scene in Benidorm and T girls are always welcome.

Vera is only busy from end of May to mid September, not sure why places close up when the temperatures usually fair better through winter than the Costa del Sol and Blanca

Good luck in your search.

Mojacar has a big resident population there must be things going on in the winter. We have just bought a holiday home at vera playa but only intend to be there early summer and then in the autumn. We think its ok until the end of October then it gets a bit quiet, our fav restaurant LUA stays open all the winter though as do quite a lot of the other restaurants

Absolutely spot on, we have been living here full time for two years now.

We would also say that don’t expect to come over here and have the amount and quality of swinger clubs that you have in the UK. One last thing is beware the swingers who are after a cheap holiday lol.

As for Brexit, the Spanish will be very careful what is negotiated as there are loads of us who contribute a lot to their economy!

The best thing is that wonderful yellow thing in the sky
