Hola Kev, I had a villa in La Alfoquia just up the road between Mojácar and Albox. Now I have a bungalow just up the road from Pattaya in Sriracha, it’s a small world init !
Well well, I spent 6 month in Garrucha last winter coldest in 30 years, you could see snow on the mountains. Had a 2 bed unfurnished for 230 euro a month. Antas has a auction place you can furnish a place for 500 euro. The gun emplacement as you get to Garrucha has a very good historical set up.
Kev, nice to see you made it over to see your mom... what a beautiful place you lived in... a bit more expensive than Thailand though. Enjoy your visit...
Best wishes to your mother. For what it is worth mate.. take your time .. you have a lot to do. Pattaya will be there when you are done. What a beautiful place - and you have a great place there. Anyway - box on .. Get a painter in Kev....save the hassle of doing it ...Take care mate.. Really enjoyed the vid.. tums Up
Enjoyed the Vlog Kev..it's changed a fair bit since I first visited some 40 years ago but hasn't everywhere..the area has some of the best beaches I have ever seen in Spain anyway enough of this reminiscing get back to the painting and good luck with the sale.
Hi Kev , my thoughts go out to your mother and you. nice house there. now i want to go to Spain even more. still working on getting back to Thailand. its been one step forward and 2 steps back for me lately but it will all come to pass hopefully soon. take care.
All the best for your mom and nice house the pool is a bonus if you don't want to go to the beach, Talking about beaches not many people on it so you have heaps of room to your self.
I loved going to Spain for years then I was lucky enough to go to Thailand for my holidays for 13 years now I live in the Philippines me and my wife will visit you in the hide away bar when your back home my best wishes to your mum cheers
Would like to see a video of what you did and how you ended up in Thailand and how you retired so early. Maybe just sit at the beach and tell us your story. Dig your Videos.
What a turn up for the books, I used to go to Mojacar 30 to 40 years ago, the Playa was more or less a sand dirt track and going to Carboneras was a matter of driving across beaches. There were bars along the Playa which were old haciendas with large front gardens which doubled up as open air bars. Used to drink in them but all the ladies assumed I was a hoodlum as lots of UK guys there in those days were on the run! It was a fantastic place for meeting some pretty gritty girlies. Presume you've been to Vera? Yes you have presume there is still a nudist area there! Viva Pueblo Indalo.
Hi Rhod, I am in Vera Playa now replying to your comment, There is still a Naturist area here on part of the beach, Vera Playa has changed considerably !
Kev, really appreciate this video - have booked to stay in the Best Indalo in June so this really gives us a good idea of the layout of the area - must say the beaches look great and it all looks very neat and tidy. Cheers. Steve
Hello Kev beautiful place wishing your Mom well I hope she gets better I went thru that 2 years ago but did not end well Take Care all the Best to you and your Family
Nice area Kev! A few years ago, I won the use of an apartment in Roquetas de Mar, not far West of Mojacar. Climate there so much better than ours in Canada! Good luck with you selling the house and see you in Pattaya around mid-octobre
Best wishes to your mum mate. Very interesting video, never been to Spain, and to be honest don't think I'll ever go. So nice to have a look around. Cheers
Nice house Kev...hope you sell it quickly, nice area too but I prefer the chaos of Thailand. Hope you get things sorted out mate. We found every time we went to our house in Spain there was always painting and maintenance to do...that fine sahara dust ruins everything even the shutters let dust in. Would never buy again. Back to work now...you missed a bit.
Good vlog as always...... my mother has lived in Alicante (torrevieja) for 20 odd years and still thinks she can sell without taking a hit..... alas she needs to look forward and not backwards!!!!! But yes, ouch is the word if you want to keep moving forward, I'm sure it will all work out though, it always does mate because it has to....... Hope your mum is in good form mate, cheers!
Kev-In-Thailand brilliant kev...salt of the earth fella...it's good seeing someone that's left the rat race or u.k ha...just shows you what's out there... you look good for it keeps life interesting I guess...and alot more chilled than old blighty can make us...I'm seriously thinking of a move...I'm done with this place/government/people...fckn disgrace it is...making me ill all the work and stress...life's for living...and your living life good on you ...keep the vids coming kev all the best
Kev-In-Thailand Given the difference in Sterling to Euro exchange rates in 2004 and now, it's not as big an ouch as it appears. You've only lost about 30 grand!
Hello Kev hope your keeping well,hope everything goes well out there with your mum. Wow! Your place in Spain looks lovely,how much is that to rent? Do you rent it out a lot? looks a nice area.Be safe mate.
Chiringuito are small snack and drinks bars usually found on sea fronts and only open from easter to September/October, or can be found at festivals or markets, the name tells customers what they can expect, That breakfast was terribly expensive, here in Benidorm, 2, sausage, 2 bacon, 2 egg, beans tomatoes tinned or fresh, black pudding or potato, 2 toast and a mug of tea or coffee 4 euro 50, or there abouts, so Benidorm wins.
Benidorm does win when it comes to price or the poker tournaments at the Mediterraneo Casino in Villa Joyosa just along the coast, I had a 6th place there for €3,800 euros once, They used to do the weekend Friday and Saturday tournaments with the final 10% of each night going to the finals on the Sunday !
That casino is long gone now Kevin, but there is a new one on Avenida Mediterraneo in Benidorm, not sure what they do in there as it's members only and I don't participate, the lotto La Primitiva is my only gamble.
Nice looking place Kev . Can you tell them they are driving on the wrong side of the road as well . You were huffing and puffing a bit old son . Great to here your Mum is doing ok
G'DAY Kev,I prefer" allo people kev in thailand here "555 ,Safe trip mate.great video really enjoyed watching first time i seen housing in spain looks nice ...but im a pattaya boy hehe .sorry to hear about your mum hope she gets better soon .ill catch up with you hideaway all the best thanks again for sharing bye for now
great vlog kev im pleased your moms getting better kev son on a golf course like that if the walk doesnt do you the weather will lol it doesnt seem as busy kev as it was in the past kev great investment back in 2004 though kev wise move thanks for sharing it kev nice one warm regards jamesey
Good to see your other neck of the woods Kev, and sad to see it go. I would still take Pattaya over any other part of the world though. Not everyone's cup of tea I know, but that's just me. Oh and the 8 million tourists that visit each year.
It has to be said, until we leave the EU (and maybe even after that) Spain's easy for a Brit compared to Thailand. Flights to the UK are dirt cheap, your pension is up-rated and the food you like (dairy, beef, wholemeal bread) is cheap and available. 25 degrees and low humidity is also easier than 35 degrees and high humidity.
No disrespect here Ken but Mojacar looks far more nicer area to live than Pattaya. I mean is your decision purely based on living costs in Thailand with the added edition of the ladies? We are currently thinking about purchasing a small holiday home in either Spain or Greece. Great Channel by the way, really enjoy your videos. carry on with the great work.
Kev-In-Thailand lovely part of Spain to live in I can imagine. Still think you made a better choice moving to Pattaya, if it's good enough for the living legend Brian Jacks. It will be good enough for me in 15 years m8
The peseta was converted to the euro at 166.386. The eve of the introduction of the euro, a cafe con leche cost 100 pesetas in my local bar. The next morning it cost 166.386 pesetas (1 euro). And the politicians tell us that the introduction of the euro didn't raise prices. BS!
James Barr Yes, the Euro has killed off much of the former holiday spots in Europe. Even considering the airfare, it's now cheaper to spend any holiday in Thailand, and the night life is far better for lone men.
lovely house but its seems quiet there, great if you like that sort of thing. How about a trip to player Vera not just to see the big nudist resort of course !!!!!
Hola Kev, I had a villa in La Alfoquia just up the road between Mojácar and Albox. Now I have a bungalow just up the road from Pattaya in Sriracha, it’s a small world init !
Wow i know Alfoguia well its by Arboleas Hahaha Very small world Alun !
Yeah that’s the place, it was really nice when I first bought there, and then the area became overbuilt. Your place still looks fairly open though !
Hola Kev.....Hope everything is ok with Mum and thanks for the great vlog mate. Thanks for sharing.
Well well, I spent 6 month in Garrucha last winter coldest in 30 years, you could see snow on the mountains. Had a 2 bed unfurnished for 230 euro a month. Antas has a auction place you can furnish a place for 500 euro. The gun emplacement as you get to Garrucha has a very good historical set up.
Kev, nice to see you made it over to see your mom... what a beautiful place you lived in... a bit more expensive than Thailand though. Enjoy your visit...
Hi I S, Yes a lot more expensive then Thailand but a very beautiful unspoilt area of Spain !
Thanks for showing us around; good luck with the painting! I have a place just south of Barcelona so interesting to see towns down south.
WOW great place Kev. Fantastic house. Very good taste. Real Spain.
Look forward to seeing you soon.
Give your Mum my best wishes ♡
Best wishes to your mother. For what it is worth mate.. take your time .. you have a lot to do. Pattaya will be there when you are done. What a beautiful place - and you have a great place there. Anyway - box on .. Get a painter in Kev....save the hassle of doing it ...Take care mate.. Really enjoyed the vid.. tums Up
I was there a few months ago kev as my parents own a villa just off the playa , try hola ola for a nice glass of wine and calamari
Job lot of white paint required . Did you rent it out ? It's in good nick .
nice place kev. bought my place in Torrevieja in 2004. hope everything goes well.
Enjoyed the Vlog Kev..it's changed a fair bit since I first visited some 40 years ago but hasn't everywhere..the area has some of the best beaches I have ever seen in Spain anyway enough of this reminiscing get back to the painting and good luck with the sale.
Enjoyed your video. Brought back many happy memories of my 7 years on the Costa de la Luz. Good luck with the sale and best wishes for Mum.
Take care of your Mom Kev! My mom passed away in 2006. Spend every precious moment you can with her, she's the only Mom you have !

Hey Kev nice vid, I love how you nailed that speed bump nearly got airborne but just kept on without missing a beat 😂 keep up the good work mate

Looks like the rain in Spain falls rarely in the plains. Nice vid Kev.
Hi Kev , my thoughts go out to your mother and you. nice house there. now i want to go to Spain even more. still working on getting back to Thailand. its been one step forward and 2 steps back for me lately but it will all come to pass hopefully soon. take care.

Hello Kev beautiful place wishing your Mom well I hope she gets better I went thru that 2 years ago but did not end well Take Care all the Best to you and your Family
In Benidorm it's cheaper than Pattaya, but I like to get away in January, so bit cold in Spain then.
A bit cold ? It's freezing in Benidorm in winter !
Kev-In-Thailand was being a bit sarcy , that park of Spain is a bit pricey though, but very nice
Nice area Kev! A few years ago, I won the use of an apartment in Roquetas de Mar, not far West of Mojacar. Climate there so much better than ours in Canada! Good luck with you selling the house and see you in Pattaya around mid-octobre
Very nice house Kev, if you are willing to share how much do you hope to get for it?
Best wishes to your mum mate. Very interesting video, never been to Spain, and to be honest don't think I'll ever go. So nice to have a look around. Cheers

Nice house Kev...hope you sell it quickly, nice area too but I prefer the chaos of Thailand. Hope you get things sorted out mate. We found every time we went to our house in Spain there was always painting and maintenance to do...that fine sahara dust ruins everything even the shutters let dust in. Would never buy again. Back to work now...you missed a bit.
Can't believe you're a painter too, Kev - a regular renaissance man you are.....:-)
I am a jack of all trades S H, Unfortunately i am master of none of them !
Kev, a great vlog. Was it hard to adjust driving on right side of the road? Hope all goes well.
I lived in Spain for 7 years so right or left side is same to me ! I'm hoping all goes well also thanks B D !
Good Luck with your mom Kev.
I see they drive on the correct side there!
I know it's sold now but in that heat I would have got a local to do the work, not expensive and no sweat.

I am a new subscriber. Hope your Mum is feeling better. Thanks for your Vlogs. Rob
Are you going to tell us what you're hoping to get for the house...?
And what is the market like in Spain these days...?
The market in Spain is picking up but slow and property prices have been battered, Its up for €136,000 and owes me €210,000....A big ouch !
Indeed, ouch! That's about what I feared. But better to have your money in Euros than Sterling, perhaps...
Kev-In-Thailand
Given the difference in Sterling to Euro exchange rates in 2004 and now, it's not as big an ouch as it appears. You've only lost about 30 grand!
ah yes beatiful spain no time to get away to spain for me this year i miss it
hi kev i wish ur mom she will get well soon, and we will see u again in amazing thailand with ur fantastic vlogs

Hello Kev hope your keeping well,hope everything goes well out there with your mum.
Wow! Your place in Spain looks lovely,how much is that to rent? Do you rent it out a lot? looks a nice area.Be safe mate.
Hi Clint, I have had it rented and now it needs to be sold, I have had 3 offers to rent but i'm afraid its no good for me !
Kev , lovely house there mate. Why don't you rent the house out until the market picks up?
hope your Mother is feeling better.
Glad you are visiting my country
Hi Kev... a nice break with 'tradition', so to speak...
It is a nice break here, If only i wasn't having to do a crap load of painting it would be better !
All the best to you and your Mum, Kevin.

Defo need a buggy mate, And it is very quiet here at the moment !
1st get the scrap yard bar there kev lol cheap rates
Your command of Spanish and Thai language is amazing Kev - btw where's the nearest Agogo?
Good to see your other neck of the woods Kev, and sad to see it go. I would still take Pattaya over any other part of the world though. Not everyone's cup of tea I know, but that's just me. Oh and the 8 million tourists that visit each year.
sorry to ask about pattaya as your in spain kev but can thai people get a passport in pattaya or just in bangkok!!
No Idea Sorry !
thanks Kev great videos
Missed the unsilenced motorbikes lol
Hope your mum gets well soon mate,God bless.
I hope your Mum gets better and you get sorted
Nice place best wishes to your mumxxx
Safe travels 😊
Are there any girlie bars there though?
No :-(
Like the house! I guess it's a lot quieter than Thailand. I live in Brittany...beautiful but not as exciting as Pattaya 😎
Well good good wish all the time!!
It has to be said, until we leave the EU (and maybe even after that) Spain's easy for a Brit compared to Thailand. Flights to the UK are dirt cheap, your pension is up-rated and the food you like (dairy, beef, wholemeal bread) is cheap and available.

.Like Desert Beach. Thanks for show me. I am Thai.
Hi Loma, Thank you for watching and commenting, The beaches here in Spain are nice but i prefer Thai Beaches any day !
Based on this vlog Spain is about half the price for an English breakfast as over here in Australia 😳😳
Ola! Beunos dias. Como este Kev.
Ola! Estoy muy bien mi amigo, Y Tu !
Me siento bien gracias.
did the cost of the breakfast include the fly Kev lol
I think they forgot to charge the fly, I kept it quiet just incase !
No disrespect here Ken but Mojacar looks far more nicer area to live than Pattaya. I mean is your decision purely based on living costs in Thailand with the added edition of the ladies? We are currently thinking about purchasing a small holiday home in either Spain or Greece. Great Channel by the way, really enjoy your videos. carry on with the great work.
Atb kev, hope your mum gets well soon
14:41 potentially a good hideaway for Twitchy for when it goes all tits up for him in Malaysia
Oh yes he would like it here there are plenty of caves also !
Kev-In-Thailand lovely part of Spain to live in I can imagine. Still think you made a better choice moving to Pattaya, if it's good enough for the living legend Brian Jacks. It will be good enough for me in 15 years m8
It's good to see a nether nigel in the world
He'd find something or someone to bemoan and bitch about.
Best Wishes! Nice house!
What a great video what part of Thailand was that? HAHAHA!
Thailand's much better Stephen !
Nice area kev and lovely home.
It is a fantastic area just a shame Spain has become too expensive to live here now !
Thats what the Euro did to countries. the cost of living just flew up.
The peseta was converted to the euro at 166.386. The eve of the introduction of the euro, a cafe con leche cost 100 pesetas in my local bar. The next morning it cost 166.386 pesetas (1 euro). And the politicians tell us that the introduction of the euro didn't raise prices. BS!
James Barr
Yes, the Euro has killed off much of the former holiday spots in Europe.
Even considering the airfare, it's now cheaper to spend any holiday in Thailand, and the night life is far better for lone men.
Nice Gaff! mate.
Thanks S G, Hopefully it doesn't take too long to sell it !
hope your mum improves mate all the best
nice vlog mr Kev
very nice kev
Prayers to u
Keep it up!
Thanks Mister Bass !
Fucken beautiful kev, i hope your mum gets well mate.
Aanice place Kev.
Thanks Christopher, It is a nice place and a beautiful unspoilt area of Spain !
lovely house but its seems quiet there, great if you like that sort of thing. How about a trip to player Vera not just to see the big nudist resort of course !!!!!
