Where to live
Dolores
9 listings available
Dolores sits in the middle of the Vega Baja, the fertile plain the Moors irrigated a thousand years ago. Orange and lemon groves run in every direction, and in spring the whole town smells of blossom.
This is Spain without a tourist layer: a weekly market, tapas bars where the menu is spoken rather than written, and a square that fills in the evening. New villas have been built on the edges of town — the sort of plot and pool that would cost twice as much near the water.
In brief
- In the heart of the Vega Baja: orange and lemon groves in every direction
- A genuine Spanish town — weekly market, fiestas, no tourist quarter
- Guardamar and La Mata beaches in 15–20 minutes
- Alicante airport in 25 minutes via the AP-7
Who feels at home here
Here you will feel at home if you want real Spain, a large plot and a slower pace, with the coast a short drive away.
