The Costa Calida
Areas like the Costa Blanca, Costa Brava and Costa del Sol have for a long time been well known to foreign visitors, but in recent years tourists and homebuyers are now discovering previously unexplored parts of Spain. One of which is the beautiful Costa Calida, popular for its golf courses, expansive beaches and coves, untamed natural beauty, lush greenery and authentic Spanish flavour.
Although investors have been attracted by the rapid rise in property prices here, homebuyers themselves are also drawn by the new horizons and value for money that the Costa Calida offers.
Uncluttered and free of large urban concentrations, the Costa Calida appeals to people who enjoy outdoor life, nature and Spanish charm, yet good communications link it conveniently to airports and an array of other modern comforts and amenities.
Situated at the point where the Costa Blanca and the Costa Cálida meet is La Manga del Mar Menor, a narrow land bar with an average width of 100 and 800 metres that stretches out for 22 kilometres, its beaches washed by the Mediterranean on the one side and the highly saline Mar Menor (little sea) on the other. With 73 kilometres of shoreline, Europe's largest saltwater lagoon offers a great variety of scenery and activities, ranging from thousands of flamingos to water sports and healing waters.
Set within typically Mediterranean scenery and protected from over-development by environmental laws, the Costa Calida is an exciting new area that adds a unique choice of Spanish property and investment options.
