Cala Salions Urbanization

I looked in lots of places along the coast,  before we bought in Sant Feliu de Guixols. Cala Salions is pretty, but I did not want to buy there as mostly everything is closed there when the summer season is over. Also there is no  nice size supermarket in there. I believe you have to drive to Lloret de Mar or Tossa. Same thing with a pharmacy and other stores you will need to install yourself in your new property. Delivery of furniture, and if you remodel delivery of construction material will cost you more too. If you need a plumber, an electrician, etc, that service will also cost you extra due to your location if you buy in Cala Salionc.  I do not remember seeing a nice variety or number of restaurants in Cala Sallionc either, for the days when you do not want to cook. I would advise you ask the seller if they have a tourist license to rent during the summer. Some communities have restrictions on the number of short term/summer rentals. 

We are very happy where we are as it is a year round town, has hospital/ clinics (for an emergency) , banks, restaurants, various supermarkets, doctor / dentist offices, bakeries, other stores, gas stations, we can walk to the beach and to a small supermarket from our apartment, we have Mercadona, Aldi, and Lidl 6-8 min away in car,  and we have a very nice view of the Sant Pol beach. 

Good luck with your purchase.

Hi Paty, thanks so much for your response. I guess the price reflects everything you have mentioned. I actually don't mind that its quiet during the off season. I live in a very rural location and I am used to privacy. I think perhaps that if I bought somewhere that was busier I might find it difficult to get used to that. When I was there in early April there were just a few people around, and I thought it was quite idyllic having the place to myself. I also work remotely, so somewhere quieter might suit that better.

The place I am looking at is in good repair and is being sold with nice furniture. The agent also told me that there is a builder/handyman firm who basically does nothing else that deal with Salions clients, and I have plenty of my own DIY experience.

I guess my original query was to surface any red flags that you might have heard about e.g. that's it run by the Russian mob, or about to be demolished because its unsafe, or something crazy like that.

Thanks again.
