Continuing the theme of costas, today I'm spotlighting the Costa Calida .... the warm coast. It's not too difficult to work out that it gets its name from the very mild climate, while also enjoying a low average rainfall. One of the key features of the area is concentrated on by Kyero in their original article, the Mar Menor.
The Mar Menor, literally meaning 'little sea', is a coastal saltwater lagoon and has been called he largest swimming pool in the world. Through it's entire surface area of 170m2, the water depth never drops below 7 metres and this feature means that is warm, clear and salty. Kyero quite rightly spoke about its exploitation for water sports which are some of the most used and revered in the whole of Europe.
With such a fantastic natural facility, it's not surprising that the area has been developed where possible, although with stringent building regulations it retains most of it's natural beauty. The most desirable area is on the land which separates the lagoon from the Mediterranean sea, the strip ranges from just 100 metres to just over a kilometre and is a real paradise. While over on the mainland, La Manga Club is world famous, not only for the top quality facilities but perhaps more so for it's golf courses. while the Costa del sol may boast more courses, the environment and standard in this area is arguably unsurpassed in Spain as a whole.
Prices of property in Costa Calida - have been consistently lower than the national average and in the last few months has become the cheapest area of coast in the whole of Spain, with prices now some 24 percent below the national average. Kyero has hundreds of properties for sale and some real bargains can be found, while at the other end of the scale the more exclusive areas have some sensational multi-million euro villas on offer, take a look at this stunning property for example - http://www.kyero.com/property/979032-villa-for-sale-la-manga-del-mar-menor . There are also some very cheap Costa Calida holiday rentals, perfect for a quick golfing trip or holiday visit.
The Costa Calida is so diverse it really deserves a closer look, the Mar Menor should be the first stop and it's a golfer's dream but I think I'll take another look at a later date to find some of it's more undiscovered towns and features.
From 4 years ago - Luxury property Costa Calida is attracting not only the rich and famous, but also those looking to purchase up market property, away from the somewhat overcrowded Costa del Sol. La Manga, a narrow strip of land, approximately 24km long, forms the outer part of the Mar Menor, Europe's largest salt water lagoon and separates it from the Mediterranean. The water in the lagoon is calm, warm and safe, protected as it is from the Mediterranean. It is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts and there numerous sailing schools and scuba diving clubs along the coast. The area is a natural choice for those looking to purchase luxury property Costa Calida, given the proximity of the exclusive La Manga Club, one of Europe's top tourist complexes, with its three world-class golf courses and one of the finest tennis centres in Europe. The area around the marina is the most sought after part of La Manga and with 2 golf courses being built nearby and the famous La Manga club a short drive away, the discerning buyer will find a good choice of luxury property Costa Calida.
