My husband and I retired in April 2011 and are travelling to several countries trying to decide where to live permanently. We went to Italy in June and left there in mid September. We are spending October in Salinas, Ecuador and then Cuenca for 3 months. We are now settled in Salinas, Ecuador.

    • Before deciding to buy anywhere, you should visit first and check it out personally. We love it but others may not. Salinas is basically safe- have never had any kind of an incident. As for clean, the beach areas frequented by tourists are keot reasonably clean but please remember it is a 3rd world country and stray dogs, garbage, beaurocracy etc are normal.
