Spanish house prices are slowing and in some cases reducing
and for those seeking to buy a home in Spain this could
well be the time to seek out a bargain. One area that will
be worth giving some attention is the region of Costa
Tropical.
Costa Tropical offers many opportunities for home buyers
and real estate investors, from beach front property, to
inland estates to something that allows you to ski in the
morning and relax on your deck in the evening.
The Costa Tropical, situated between the Costa Almeria to
the northeast and the Costa del Sol to the southwest, is a
fascinating place on the Spanish coast for residents and
visitors alike. This area has one of Europe's most unique
microclimates and some 320 days of sun a year. This
subtropical paradise along the southern coast of Spain is
an ideal location for those who want sun, warm weather and
great beaches.
Stretching from one Granada provincial border to another,
the Costa Tropical begins around La Rabita in the east and
runs to La Herradura in the west. The coast along this
stretch of Spain runs almost exactly east west, before
curving to the north and south on either end. The climate
here is affected by the winds and waters from Africa and
the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the north. According to the
World Health Organization, this is one of the healthiest
places to live on the planet.
Along this stretch of coast, there are three main towns,
Almuñécar, Motril and Salobreña and a
total of 26 beaches, many of which have been repeatedly
awarded the Blue Flag, which confirms the cleanliness of
both beach and water. Motril is the easternmost of these
three towns although it is in the middle of the Costa
Tropical, and is a lively and busy Spanish town of shops
and business. It is popular in the summer for its seven
beaches that offer a range of water sports and activities,
and is often considered the second most important city in
the province behind the capital and namesake Grenada.
Motril has seven beaches, a few of which have been awarded
the accolade of some of Europe's cleanest beaches. Spanish
families in particular love Motril's beaches. The most well
known beach is the Playa Granada which has a very family
friendly atmosphere. Younger visitors enjoy the more lively
Poniente Beach with its promenade and the Playa de
Calahonda with its deep, clean waters. Further from town
there are water sports opportunities at Carchuna beach, a
nudist beach at La Joya, or the shallow waters and fine
sand of the beach in Torrenueva.
Spain will always be popular and like all other housing
markets will have its ups and downs, one thing is sure it
remains one of the most popular places to buy a second home
for Europeans.
