Buyers at the new, key-ready development, Cortijo del Mar, can not only take advantage of discounts of around 25%, but Spanish mortgages are now on offer covering 95% of the purchase price.

Cortijo del Mar is a beautiful resort, ideally located within walking distance of absolutely everything you could need – beach, golf and plenty of shops and restaurants. The properties at Cortijo del Mar are located less than 10 minutes drive from Puerto Banus, and so are ideally placed for those who fancy a bit of glamour!

Despite the recession, well-priced property on the Costa Blanca is still in high demand.

Despite the general property crash here in Southern Spain, prices within the very best, most popular areas have been holding up relatively well.

Marbella has always been the jewel in the crown of the Costa del Sol, and its popularity with a rich diversity of people has meant that demand for the best properties has not really waned. Not only are properties in Marbella popular with Northern Europeans, we mustn´t forget that Marbella is still a thriving town and year-round business and commercial hub, so local Spaniards and indeed those from further afield such as Madrid and Barcelona are keeping the market buoyant.

One of the most exclusive addresses in Marbella is surely the Golden Mile, the area that links downtown Marbella and its neighbouring town of Puerto Banus, home to its famous yacht harbour, designer shops and an array of bars and restaurants. Continue reading »

Some more good news for buyers of property for sale in Murcia. Following the recent announcement of the go-ahead of the Paramount Pictures theme park in the region, the new Murcia Airport in Corvera is set to be complete later this year and open to the public in mid 2012.

A study by the University of Murcia found that 40% of passengers taking scheduled flights from Alicante Airport (over 100 kilometres away from Corvera) are actually from the region of Murcia. With these figures in mind, Murcia´s Ministry of Development expects to be able to ´steal´ 3 million of the 10 million passengers who currently use the airport at Alicante but who would undoubtedly find that Corvera would be much closer and more convenient for them.

La Zagaleta is acknowledged as one of the very finest addresses in Europe. While the lavish villas in Sierra Blanca (the subject of Part 1 of this article) feel like they are just a stone´s throw away from the action and glamour of central Marbella and Puerto Banus, the elegant properties in La Zagaleta are located in a natural, rural, scenic environment, a world away from the fast pace of the coast.

La Zagaleta is a private, fully secure estate 10 minutes drive inland above the seaside town of San Pedro de Alcantara.

Sierra Blanca is undoubtedly one of the most exclusive addresses in Southern Spain, a residential area that sits at the foot of the La Concha mountain overlooking the town of Marbella and the Mediterranean Sea.

The popularity of Sierra Blanca stems from the area´s close proximity to the twon itself. Within a 5 minute drive, you can be in down-town Marbella, or parking up in the jet-set marina of Puerto Banus. This is as close as you can get to living in town……but with the feeling that you could be anywhere else!
