Many people dream of buying a property in Spain, and it’s easy to see why. The year round sun, pristine beaches and a relaxing lifestyle make it an ideal choice to buy a home. But this beautiful country has so many options when it comes to choosing a place to live that the difficulty is deciding on the best location.
One place that is particularly popular is Costa Blanca, so if you want some inspiration for where you could buy a property in this beautiful area of Spain, here are a few suggestions:
1. Benidorm
Benidorm is a very appealing choice for those who are looking for somewhere exciting that has a lot of amenities. Benidorm is the most popular place for tourists on the whole of Costa Blanca, and while this may turn a few people away, for others it is a good thing because it means there are plenty of attractions to enjoy.
Benidorm is not your average small Spanish fishing village, but what it lacks in quaintness it makes up for in attractions. There are hundreds of restaurants, bars, nightclubs, cafes and shops to choose from, meaning you will never be left wanting for entertainment. And all this comes with fantastic beaches and glorious sunshine, which is the perfect combination for the average property hunter.
Benidorm does have its fair share of charm with its pleasant old town, and there are also extra attractions such as a number of popular theme parks nearby including Aqualandia and Terra Mitica. So if you want somewhere fun and exciting in Costa Blanca then Benidorm could well be it.
2. Denia
Denia is located in the northern part of Costa Blanca, just north of Javea, and is a very popular place for people looking for somewhere to buy a property. It is a very beautiful town, surrounded by stunning natural scenery that makes it the ideal choice for people who like going for long walks.
Like most places along Costa Blanca, Denia is blessed with warm sunshine throughout the year and many miles of golden beaches. There are lots of water sports on offer, and windsurfing is particularly popular, so if you like to get involved in activities then it’s an ideal destination.
While it is still popular with tourists, Denia is more of a working town, meaning it is great for those looking for a more authentic Spanish experience. This also means that the community is present throughout the year and it is not affected by the seasons. With all the facilities you would expect from a large town, you could be very happy if you chose to live here.
3. Elche
You’ll know when you’re approaching Elche because the roads suddenly become lined with palm trees. This exotic welcome provides the perfect introduction to this interesting town that has become a popular destination for people looking to buy a home in Costa Blanca.
The town has been an important settlement for hundreds of years, and is well known for being an important centre for art. One of the most interesting things to happen here is the re enactment of the life of the Virgin Mary in the Basilica of Saint Mary. This ancient play takes place over two days in August and attracts people from far and wide. A new life in Elche will be relaxing and interesting as you will have plenty to see and do, without having to share your new home with lots of tourists.
4. Torrevieja
Torrevieja, meaning ‘old tower’, is a city about 50 kilometres from Alicante, and is a great option if you are looking for a place to buy your Spanish property. The main industries of the town are salt, tourism and fishing, the latter of which is clear when you come across the 300 fishing ships that are located in the lovely harbour or visit the fish market.
There are also the impressive salt lakes on the edge of the city that are interesting to go and see. The city has built up a large population of British expatriates, so you can be sure that you will fit in just fine even if you don’t speak the language.
5. Villajoyosa
One of the main attractions of Villajoyosa, which means ‘joyful town’, is the stunning beach. Wide, sandy and straight off of a postcard, anywhere with a beach this good is going to make a fine location for your new home.
But Villajoyosa is more than just a beach. This delightful settlement used to be fishing village, and is packed full of wonderful historic buildings that give it a unique character. Roman bridges, a gothic church and the great market in the old centre of the town are a few of the architectural delights.
Villajoyosa is also known for its chocolate, and a trip to the Museum of Chocolate at some point is a must. It is a peaceful town, and because it is located just 10 kilometres from Benidorm you can always make a trip to this bigger city with ease.
