Costa de Almería Market Review Situated in the south-eastern part of Spain between the Costa Cálida in the region of Murcia and the Costa Tropical in Andalucía’s Granada Province, the Costa de Almería extends over 200 kilometres of coastline and some of the sunniest climes in Europe. Like the Costa Cálida, the Costa de Almería is a relatively newer tourist and residential destination when compared with older ones such as Mallorca, Ibiza, the Costa Brava and the Costa del Sol. Like its northern neighbour in the region of Murcía, though, the warm, sunny and dry climate of coastal Almería have made it a favourite in its own right. One important distinction with most of the other costas, however, is the fact that this coastal stretch is less built up and therefore more natural and more authentically Spanish – a key factor for many who decide to visit and buy properties here. Beside the space, healthy climate and authenticity of this region, people are also drawn by the value for money it offers, as both holidays and properties are cheaper than in locations such as the Costa del Sol, the Costa Brava, the Balearic Islands, the Costa Tropical and also the Costa Blanca. More comparable in price to the Costa Cálida, the Costa de Almería provides an offering that is sufficiently different to give it a distinct character and appeal – one marked by expanses of unspoiled, rugged nature, traditional Andalusian villages and towns, and small resort towns. 36 l SPAINPROPERTYGUIDE.COM
SPACE AND NATIONAL PARKS The most popular resort towns and destinations for foreign homebuyers are Mojácar and Vera on the eastern side, and Almerimar and Roquetas de Mar on the southern coast. Set between them is the provincial capital of Almería and a series of national parks and reserves such as Cabo de Gata-Nijar and Punta Entinas-Sabinar. Here you will find an almost lunar landscape of rocks and sand in places, dry but strikingly beautiful in its raw, rugged impact. Long, sandy beaches and private coves with crystalline water make it a much sought-after area among visitors who love open spaces. At Vera, a specialised tourist segment catering to naturists has grown up, while Roquetas de Mar and Almerimar offer classic beachside resort pleasures coupled with water sports and golf. Where the latter are especially popular among Spanish tourists and second home buyers, the delightful village of Mojácar has become a favourite of British, German and other Northern European visitors and residents. PROPERTY MARKET For foreigners, therefore, the area around Mojácar is therefore the hub for property buying. Some has settled in mountain and fishing villages where rustic homes can be snapped up for under €50.000 and fixed up, but Mojácar remains the main focus and consists of a pretty white mountain village set upon a prominent hill overlooking the sea, and a more recent beachside resort called Mojacar Playa. Attractive apartments can be found here from under €100.000 upwards, townhouses from little more and smaller bungalow villas from as little as €150.000. Larger villas start at €250.000 and can surpass €1 million, while there are also modern new-build apartments and semidetached homes for sale from €100.000 and €200.000 respectively, with contemporary villas starting at around €300.000. Similar figures apply to Vera Playa and smaller coastal resort areas such as Turre and Villaricos, as well as Roquetas de Mar, and it is this accessibility along with its natural appeal that marks the Costa de Almería out as a vibrant sub-market within the Spanish costas, ensuring it a gradual growing following of visitors, homeowners and residents who seek space, nature and warm climes at affordable prices.
