North Costa Blanca
| |
The
area classed as North Costa Blanca is one of the most popular
holiday destinations for a very good reason. There is something
there for everyone.
Whatever
you require from your perfect holiday destination, whether it
be beaches, shopping, entertainment, a lifestyle of luxury,
plenty of nightlife or quiet culture and countryside, you will
find it somewhere in North Costa Blanca.
|
One
of the areas major benefit is its climate which guarantees around
320 days of sunshine a year, and of course what you want with
320 days of sunshine are some of the best beaches in the world
on which to enjoy them and north Costa Blanca has just that.
From quiet isolated coves to the thriving beaches of the popular
holiday resorts North Costa Blanca has a huge amount of blue
flag beaches for you to enjoy.
For
those with children (and those without) who have finally tired
of the beach, the area has a wealth of theme parks, watersports
and other attractions to keep even the youngest and most demanding
of us entertained, while the many varieties of restaurants,
bars and nightclubs will undoubtedly appeal to those still around
when the youngest and most demanding of us have gone to bed.

|
For
those investing in property anywhere on the North Costa Blanca,
aside from the seemingly continual rise of property prices that
has seen many people making substantial gains on their original
investments, one of the main attractions has to be the huge amount
of rental potential here.
The
holiday season whether coastal or inland based is practically
continual, and with many new high class developments being created
all around the area there are at present some beautiful properties
available. |
Costa Blanca
Situated
on the east coast, the province of the Costa Blanca is possibly
one of the most beautiful regions of Spain. With an average
of 315 days of sunshine per year superb sandy beaches and a
landscape that ranges from the mountainous yet relatively green
regions of the north, scattered with orange groves and olive
trees, to the much flatter drier plains of the south famed for
its palm gardens and salt flats.
The Costa Blanca is still much less developed and not as hectic
or crowded as the Costa del Sol, yet with miles of sandy beaches,
beautiful scenery and plenty of attractions and activities including
a huge range of golf courses, it still contains everything that
both the holidaymaker and the permanent resident could want.
|
|
A
wide choice of lifestyles are available in the region as found
in the many communities, from the vibrant modern towns of Alicante
and Torrevieja where the pace is much like any modern city (if
a little more relaxed), to the myriad of small rural communities
where life carries on much as it has for generations.
|
Costa Calida
| The
Costa Calida is situated between the Costa Blanca to the north
and Costa Almeria to the south. The mediterranean climate offers
a summer temperature range of between 18-35C and the winter between
12-22C, along with over 320 days of sunshine per year. |

|
The
area has hundreds of kilometers of coastline with beautiful beaches
and harbours from which to enjoy all manner of waterborne activities,
as well as many small coastal towns and villages to explore. Inland,
you will find the Mar Menor salt lakes, with its flocks of Flamingoes,
some of the finest golf courses in Spain including La Manga which
boasts some of the most sought after golf properties, surrounded
by palm trees and lemon groves.
There are a myriad of outdoor activities here, from tennis clubs
and horse riding to walking and caving, and of course a fantastic
variety of local cuisines, and restaurants in which to try them. |
Valencia
| |
Valencia,
caressed by the Mediterranean boasts sunny coasts and all year
round warm temperatures, an ideal destination for either a second
home or a permanent move to pain. Valencia is known as "The
City of Light" thanks to its 2,600 hours of Sun per year
The
Moorish heritage is clear from the traditional handicraft arts
and the cultivation of oranges and rice. Valencia is one of
the largest cities in Spain and can also be one of the liveliest.
Valencia
offers a diverse cultural life and attracts many important commercial
fairs and events. All this has produced a very dynamic and economically
lively city. Valencia was also the home city of "El Cid"
a national hero of Spain, who fought against the Authorties.
Many traditional customs and festivals in the region serve as
reminders of this connection.
|
Valencia's
sunny beaches merit a separate mention. The high quality standards,
infrastructure, and level of service have made them famous throughout
the World. On more that 100 km of coastline a large number of
seaside towns have been awarded the distinguished European Blue
Flag. This distinctive internationally recognised symbol guarantees
quality, high standards, beaches in good conditions, and the
use of facilities for the many visitors and residents.
Due to Valencia, long ago, deciding to embrace tourism as its
major sector it has become the regions leaders in the industry,
this is reflected in the hotels, restaurants, discotheques,
bars, sports facilities etc, something for just about everyone
to enjoy.
|
|
The
great climate, excellent communications infrastructure, the hospitable
character of the local people, and the food are some of the qualities
that have turned many one time tourists into a permanent resident
of Valencia. This phenomenon is far from over, year after year,
more and more people from other parts of Europe decide to make
Valencia their home. Valencia has more second homes than any other
area of Spain
As
well as Sun and Paella, there's a lot to discover in Valencia,
one of the reasons that Valencia has become such an important
area for both tourism and for people looking for a second home
or permanent move to Spain. |
Costa Almeria
The
Costa Almeria is one of the eight regions of Andalucia in southern
Spain and has in its history been ruled over by both the Roman
and the Moorish empires. Nowhere is this more dramatically shown
than in the architecture of the area, from the splendour of
its sparkling whitewashed towns to the unique style of its cave
houses.
Famed for its miles of beautiful unspoiled beaches and rugged
landscape, Almeria has so far seen little of the development
that has gone on in the Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca. It is
only recently that this area has seen an upsurge in the growth
of new properties.
|
|
The
city of Almeria itself is a vibrant and lively place that blends
a modern approach to living, such as top class restaurants and
shops, marine and conventional sports facilities, with a traditional
working fishing port steeped in long history and culture. It has
a wealth of museums, art galleries and historical monuments to
explore including it’s 11th century walls, 16th century
Gothic style cathedral and it’s 10th century military fortress. |
Costa del Sol
|
The
Costa del Sol is certainly one of the most sought after places
on the entire Spanish coast. Considering the climate, the beautiful
scenery and the wide ranging choice of lifestyles on offer its
not surprising that celebrities, successful professionals, retirees
and indeed anyone who wants a little bit of extra luxury and
glamour in their lives find it here.
The
Costa del Sol has been a popular holiday destination for most
of the 20th century. The western side particularly became synonymous
with the idea of the ‘holiday in the sun’ and the
1960’s and 70’s produced a boom in tourism that
put the Costa del Sol on the map as one of the holiday destinations,
a reputation that it still enjoys to this day.
|
A
little further east along the coast the Marbella region was
also starting to see a boom, but it’s rise to fame as
a ‘place to be seen’ came mainly after Prince Alfonso
founded the Marbella Club in 1959 and after the building of
the Puerto Banus marina and property development. This naturally
attracted the cream of high society and subsequently a host
of top quality golf clubs, high class shopping centers, clubs,
restaurants, casinos and luxury hotels to accommodate the needs
of some of the worlds most wealthy and influential people.
As
you would expect the quality of property in these areas is exceptional
and if your in the market for a top of the range luxury villa
then this is the place for you.
|
|
For
those with more modest needs or those buying for investment purposes
there is also a great selection of developments to choose from
with a range of high class but more affordable accommodation.
There
is no doubt that the Costa del Sol is a world of luxury yachts,
exclusive lifestyles and high class shopping, yet it is still
a place of opportunity where many people choose to live, work,
play and raise their families. |
