OMG guys, i've just found your channel, and makes me so homesick (british BTW). my wife and I lived there on altos del limonar between 2003-2007 in no. 540 the house on the corner, shown in the video. my daughter was born there and it brings a tear to my eye to see the place again. i'd be back tomorrow if i could. i'll be following and checking out all your other videos.

I can't see why anyone would give you a "dislike".! You're both lovely people who make me smile whenever I watch your videos. BTY, can't get the logic in having a washing machine on your terrace. Where's the dryer, or just simply hang them out to dry.? Didn't see a clothesline.

[@BetweenTheLakes]

Hi Juan, Thanks for watching and your very nice comment. The washing machine works well on the sun terrace. We think it's quite normal now, we didn't at first but now it's ok. We do have clotheslines up there, two of them. If you watch the clip from 3.53 and maybe pause or slow down, you will see the two washing lines before i go under the parasol between the tv aerial and the left wall. Best wishes, Mike and Yvonne.

Thank you for showing us would be interested in seeing the Turkish joint see how they compare. Think I can say Merry Christmas now it’s close enough. Xxx👍

Yes we like it and always look forward to coming over. The Turkish place was a little different. It was a two block complex of 33 apartments. Our apartment was over two floors and 3 kms from the sea in Didim (Altinkum). Here's a video of the outside: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hImVqYyZaq18mKs We enjoyed our 10 years there but felt that we needed to find somewhere nearer the UK. We are happier in Costa Blanca and pleased we made the move. All the best, Mike and Yvonne.

Hi Alan, yes, we are not sure how it will affect us here. I think some good and some bad, we will have to wait and see. I suppose eventually we will have more facilities and amenities along with a bridge across the road? As you have said there will be extra noise and building work going on and extra traffic to contend with. All the best Mike and Yvonne.

[@gweedoreone4877]

@@BetweenTheLakes agree we should have more facilities and amenities , bridge would be great, there will be a new School, also big DIY shop, many people will want to live between the lakes, cannot stop progress , new Bus Station , loads of employment , lucky we got in early, C19 has changed us all, so we are in a great home from home, agree Spain will push for UK exceptions, Airport numbers down 90%, usually 6million a year. we will just need to learn how to adapt in the sun.

[@juliaeaves9355]

Loved watching this. Did you buy all the furniture when you moved in or was it all left from the previous owner? New beds? Did you put the dish on the solarium? Sorry about the questions, hoping to buy in the area next year and need as much info as poss 😊😎 Looking forward to yr next vlog, as usual! Take care 🏖🏝

[@BetweenTheLakes]

Hi Julia, yes we got all the furniture with the purchase but we are slowly replaced most of it to our taste. The kitchen is new as you have seen in the video. The satellite dish was there already but I replaced it for a bigger one and moved it lower down the wall as it was moving too much in the wind and affecting the signal. The lounge furniture is all new along with the corner sofa, table and chairs. Thanks for watching, all the best, Mike and Yvonne.

[@jasonkay-H2MO]

Loved seeing more of your Casa. Can I ask, would you buy again or would you rent for 90 days at a time if you considered this again? Do you regret buying your casa or in the area you are?

[@BetweenTheLakes]

Hi Jason, we are happy we bought in 2017, it was at the time when we knew brexit was happening but we went ahead with no reservations. We lave the area where we bought, we did enough research in many areas of the Costa Blanca and we are happy here. Thanks for watching, best wishes, Mike and Yvonne.

[@jaccroft]

Been waiting for this one ! Your place looks lovely and I especially like your newer kitchen . 👍 I too have some questions if that's ok ? How far are you from centre torrevieja? Can you get buses to places if you don't want to drive or use a bike ? Could you walk to playa del cura ? Where can you walk to , as places of interest , shopping etc ? Thanks I don't know any of these places , but just trying to get a feeling .

[@BetweenTheLakes]

Thank you Jacqueline, we are only about a 35min walk from Torrevieja centre. There are buses from where we are to Torrevieja about every 40 mins and cost €1.35 each. You can walk to Habaneras shopping centre in 12 mins, walk to the beach in 40 mins. Playa del Cura beach is a little further round maybe another 10 mins. We cover a lot of what you ask in previous videos. There are now over 50 videos so a lot to get through but we try to give as much info on location as we can. All the best Mike and Yvonne.

I love all of your videos and I have watched from near the beginning , it is just interesting to know the info , specifically from your place , now that we've seen your apartment in greater detail etc .

[@BetweenTheLakes]

Hi Gudjon, thanks for watching and for your comment. You might be interested in this one as it talks about our buying experience in Torrevieja. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHPPnWqjYsaCsJY To be honest we were initially attracted by the price of the properties in the area. Quite a bit lower than Northern Costa Blanca for example. In the video, we recommend that people travel to and spend time in the areas they are interested in to see if it's for them. Everybody is different some like it quiet, some like it busy so being there is the best way to find out, after all, it is a big commitment. Hope it helps, best wishes, Mike and Yvonne.

[@fmcm7715]

It’s crazy how they are still building so many houses in that region and there are so many half finished buildings and empty houses around. And a lot of Irish and British people are selling up especially since Covid 19 and Brexit. My parents have a house about 10kms from Torrevieja and they are thinking about selling now😭. They’ve only been out there once since March 2020 after my dad caught Covid 19 on a plane coming back to Ireland from Spain. I found it fascinating that they have covered electrical sockets outside. You don’t really see that in rainy Ireland.

[@BetweenTheLakes]

Hi F McM, thanks for watching and your comments. It will be interesting to see what happens in the next couple of years and to see if things to settle down like the 90 day rule which is putting off a lot of holiday home owners. There is a lot of activity from EU countries like France, Greece and Portugal to change this and I think it will change, at least for people with holiday homes. Best wishes, Mike and Yvonne.

Is petanca like bocce?

[@BetweenTheLakes]

Hi Rob, I think they must be cousins as I've just looked at the rules. It's very similar with the same objective - to get closest to the jack. I think Petanca is big in Spain and originated in France. Bocce originated in Italy. I would have to do a bit of research to find out the answer on that one.

[@tonyt7402]

Can I ask a couple of questions? 1, is your house cold in winter and are you able to catch any daytime heat from the sun. 2. As you are in a quad and the build is not new, do you get noise coming through the walls from the neighbours. Most Spanish properties I've been in have paper thin walls. Maybe those new builds will have good heat and noise insulation. Thanks for the great videos, Tony

[@BetweenTheLakes]

Hi Tony, Thanks for watching and commenting. The house is cold in winter yes. We have no heating except an oil filled radiator and the air conditioning unit which also blows warm air which is very effective. We have no way of harnessing the power of the sun, we haven't looked into it but I believe solar panels are something that some people use. We are lucky to have decent quiet neighbour's so noise is not a problem for us. The walls are thinner than UK walls as there is no insulation in them. I believe building regulations have changed recently in Spain and the construction has to be better now than it was. I think our house was built in early 2000. I would say if you need peace and tranquility then perhaps a quad would not be the best choice. All the best Mike and Yvonne.

6:54 is the development La Hoya (the hole)? or La 'oya'. La Jolla would be said the way you're pronouncing it. I really enjoy you both but sometimes the pronunciations bugs me - the anglification of the Spanish language which is a common practice in California.

It is spelt as you see on the video, La Hoya - translates in Spanish as “the pit” We are from Yorkshire and although we respect and try our best with the Spanish pronunciations we do get it wrong sometimes, so apologies if we have, in your opinion.
