Costa Calida - A perfect location for property
Nestled between the Costa Blanca and Costa Almeria lies the un spoilt Region of the Costa Calida. Offering a stark contrast to other commercialised and over developed areas the Province of Murcia boasts rugged coastline, spectacular mountain views, pine forests and the Mar Menor lagoon.
This is the least known region of Spain ... walled off to the North, East and South by the inland mountain ranges of Andalucia, Castilla and Valencia. Citrus, Almond and Olive groves are farmed here using the inherited systems of irrigation.
The last Moorish stronghold in Spain, the area is brimming with fascinating history and architecture. Murcia City, the Province's capital is now a bustling centre, blending the old part of the City with its magnificent Cathedral with its busy new commercial and shopping areas. Cartagena, a City and Port from where many a conquering "Armada" sailed is now the site of recently discovered Roman remains which include an Amphitheatre, many artifacts can be seen in the dedicated Museum. There is also a Museum dedicated to the history of the Navy.
Traveling around between pretty villages it would not be unheard of to have to stop for the local goat herdsman or horse and cart but, perhaps this will remind you that you are in the "Real Spain".
Take a trip to Puerto de Mazarron where you will find beautiful beaches, bars, shops and restaurants. The Port is now undergoing modest development offering excellent opportunities for the holiday home or investment purchase.
The Mar Menor a 170 sq km lagoon separated from the sea by a small stretch of land known to all as ´La Manga´, the reputed therapeutic qualities of its high salt and iodine content together with the 'healing muds' of Mota de la Calcetera have tourists flocking to the area every year. Huge investment over the last 3 years has made this area very special with a number of first class golf courses are already being constructed.
Further to the North of the Region lies Parque Natural de Espuna, a haven for hikers and climbers with 240 sqkm of unspoiled highlands and pine forests. This really is an amazing area for permanent living or for long special holidays.
The Costa Calida ... A great place to invest in.
