Lifestyle in Alfaz del Pi

Nästan som att bo i Skandinavien – fast med sol. Nordiska föreningar, bekanta varor i butikerna, grannar som talar ditt språk. Samtidigt finns det spanska runt hörnet för den som vill.

Why Swedes love Alfaz del Pi

  • The Nordic infrastructure: Everything is available in Swedish/Norwegian – schools, doctors, care homes (Reuma-Sol) and shops.
  • Quality of life: The inland location offers larger plots, more privacy and a quieter pace than the beach.
  • Culture: The Cultural Centre in Alfaz has a huge range of concerts, cinema (in original language) and festivals.
  • Proximity: You're 5 minutes from Albir beach but without the tourist crowds during high season.

🤔Who is it NOT suitable for?

  • Nightclub lovers (the town sleeps at night).
  • Those who don't drive (in the villa areas a car is almost essential).
  • Those seeking 100% Spanish "village life" (it's very international here).
