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.
