Costa Tropical Properties Spain

Costa Tropical Properties

Still relatively undiscovered and unspoiled, there is a great variety of Costa Tropical properties available on the coastline south of Granada and each town has its own distinctive atmosphere.

Spain has since the 1990s become synonymous with construction and over development, in 2008 it also became famous for the number of unfinished developments, corrupt mayors and planning officials and bankrupt developers. The image of abandoned building sites and tower cranes as far as the eye can see represents the impression created by a media hungry for news. The reality in Spain is somewhat different, while some areas have been overdeveloped there are other areas which have resisted the lure of overnight riches and have maintained an environment which represents the Spain that first attracted people here after the death of Franco.

With about 5000 km of coastline of which Andalucia accounts for 800 km it is not easy to find the less well known areas that do not cater to large influxes of foreign holiday makers and investors. The Costa Tropical has remained one of least publisized sections of coastline and due to a combination of local attitudes of politicians and mountainous terrain it has never attracted the attention of major developers and mass tourism is unknown.

There are a number of small towns along the 80 km of coastline which runs between the Costa del Sol and Almeria the most interesting of which (at least for discerning buyers of properties on the Costa Tropical) are Almuñecar, which includes a satellite town of La Herradura and Salobrena where we have a select number of Spanish villas for sale.

Almunecar has a mixture of apartments which are located mainly in the town and along the shoreline and villas which are in locations such a Cotobro and Punta de la Mona.

Salobrena is somewhat smaller than Almunecar and at its heart is a typical Spanish working town and along the beach area lowrise appartment buildings. On the hills to the west of the town is Monte de los Almendros a mature development of villas many with private swimming pools and stunning views.
