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.
