Buying Property on the Costa Azahar

Where to buy property on the Costa Azahar

Properties for sale on the Costa Azahar (or ‘Costa del Azahar’) are cheaper than those on coastal rivals the Costa del Sol and the Costa Blanca by some 20% to 30%. Investors might be interested in the expected surge of demand with the arrival of the new airport at Castellon which will make getting to the region much easier and quicker.

This coast is popular with overseas property buyers for its golf, water sports, fishing and wildlife. The ‘Orange Blossom Coast’ runs from Gandia in the south to Vinaros in the north, with a number of excellent resorts, such as Peñiscola, with its mix of sandy beaches and coves, along its length and the exciting city of Valencia at its centre.

This coast has a very temperate climate but benefits from being, at present, far less crowded than the more developed costas. That said, the resort of Benicassim has been a favourite with Spanish tourists for decades and has, for the last few years, hosted a massive summer music festival, when the town is swamped by visiting fans enjoying top-class acts as well as miles of Blue Flag beaches – Glastonbury without the mud!

There are some schools with a UK-based curriculum, notably at Castellon and Puçol, which may interest a property buyer looking to relocate with a young family, though it’s an area where at least a rudimentary knowledge of Spain will be necessary for those emigrating. Even as a holiday destination, you will not find the widespread use of English that one might find in some of the better known Spanish coastal resorts.
