Hola! I am considering to move to Spain. No need for paperwork, just to choose a place near Gibraltar.

I short-listed Santa Margarita and La Alcaidesa.

Based on the info I have, Santa Margarita:
PLUS: near Gibraltar, there is a bus going there. Cheaper real estate.
MINUS: many empty apartments, people may have to pay additional fees to cover the communal expenses for the empty units. Not as nice as La Alcaides

La Alcaidesa:
PLUS: almost a stand-alone community. Closer to the beach
MINUS: more expensive, further from Gibraltar

Thoughts? Corrections? Thanks!

Thank you! Was that for the border issues or was not a popular service? Thanks

Around an year ago the bus services are not reliable.
You don't know which day will have a bus and at what time interval they are.
The current bus company is on temporally contract from one year and its unclear when will have a permanent bus service.... no money for buses
