The Unique Appeal of the Costa Del Sol

The California of Europe

This territory, extending from Malaga in the east to Gibraltar in the west, enjoys the best year-round climate in the whole of Europe.The attractions of sun in all seasons, temperatures averaging 61°F in January and 85°F in July, sandy beaches, golf courses galore and sophisticated shopping, dining and night life have all been made more accessible by low-cost air travel.

As a result, the Costa del Sol has proved to be a ‘mecca’ to the wealthier northern Europeans for whom ‘a holiday home in the sun’ is fast becoming a necessity.This has led to an unprecedented rise in the value of properties along the 70-mile coastal fringe over the past few years. Being only of limited size, the areas around the major towns and resorts are in increasing demand, which in turn is pushing up property values in the most attractive urbanisations.
