The local climate is big reason to want to live or visit this region. Murcia has the best climate in Spain and the Costa Calida or “Warm Coast” has warm dry summers and relatively mild winters. In the winter, while other parts of Spain are shivering under a layer of snow this area considers a snow flake once every ten years a headline event. During the summer the Levante winds stop us melting under that hot Spanish sun.
Our gorgeous coastline is another reason. Not only are we blessed with 250km of Mediterranean coastline we are also home to the Mar Menor, the unique salt water lake which has fabulous Blue Flag beaches and very calm, warm waters.
Stunning national parks are a great attraction for anyone interested in nature. The Calblanque National Park sits on the coast and offers a wonderful unspoilt area of coastline for every visitor to enjoy. This is one of our favourite places to walk throughout the year. Go slightly inland and you have the Sierra Espuna, a beautiful forested park where you can find wild boar, eagles and see amazing views back to the sea.
Property owners need never be bored in this region. We have two cities full of life and culture, Cartagena and the region's capital Murcia. Cartagena is one of the oldest ports in Spain and is filled with museums to explore. Murcia has a truly beautiful cathedral that is surrounded by an area filled with interesting boutique shops and cafés. For sporty people over twenty golf courses are on your doorstep, or if golf is not your thing there is a huge range of water activities and top class sporting facilities at La Manga Club.
Getting to Murcia is easy. Murcia has its own airport, San Javier, as well as being just 50 mins from the expanding international airport at Alicante. Even better, Murcia is about to benefit from a second international airport, Corvera, due to be completed shortly. Road links in the area are also of high quality with the Mediterranean motorway (AP7) linking the region with both the north and south Costas.
The future looks bright for Murcia. Not only are we getting a new airport, we are also looking at two potential investment projects which will bring an influx of jobs, visitors and wealth to the area. Paramount studios have agreed to license a leisure park in the Murcia region and the Chinese have announced their proposal to build a huge enterprise area which will include hotels, business and education complexes, a shopping complex, golf course and much more.
Finally Murcia's property market still continues to offer excellent value for money with the average property 40% below the national average. There is a huge choice of quality property available, from apartments to detached villas.
Of course I am already a property owner in the region, therefore you could call me biased. However when I look at what the region has to offer, now and in the future, owning property here makes perfect sense.
