Catral is a slow-paced village from which to watch the world go by. Come here for rural walks, fresh produce and a friendly expat community wrapped in a traditional Spanish enclave.

Catral is a village of low-rise sandstone homes silhouetted by palm fronds and surrounded by artichoke farms. Like many traditional Spanish pueblos, it centres around a town square but features an unusually elliptical, blue-domed church dedicated to Los Santos Juanes. There is a conventional high street that expands into modern suburbs built around the edges of the village to accommodate the influx of Europeans who began to invest in the area around the 1990s.

The village centre has plenty of businesses servicing the needs of inhabitants, from pharmacies to vets, and hairdressers to gyms. The nearby towns of Orihuela, Torrevieja and Elche have more evolved shopping districts and Catral is not far from both Murcia and Alicante city centres.

There are both state and public schools in the village which, between them, cover all student ages from primary to secondary. There is a good choice of international schools in the region if you’re prepared to travel a little further, including the reputable El Limonar International School in Villamartin.
