Costa Brava Property
Once a package holiday hotspot, the Costa Brava property now attracts a more discerning buyer. While the ‘bucket-and-spade’ resorts do still exist, there is now more emphasis on and interest in high-quality developments and traditional property in Costa Brava .
The temperate, year-round climate makes the area a popular golf destination, with excellent courses located around Barcelona, Girona and Figueres. Though not the cheapest type of property in the region by far, Costa Brava properties on or near a golf course are sure to attract interest and healthy rental returns whatever the time of year.
There are plenty of coastal resorts to suit most tastes, from the touristy resorts of Tossa de Mar and Lloret de Mar to the marina and water sports of Estartit. South of Barcelona is technically called the Costa Maresme. Sitges is perhaps the best known of the resorts, catering for an upmarket crowd.
Generally speaking, inland Costa Brava properties are less expensive than their counterparts directly on the coast. With the Pyrenees Mountains not far away, skiing is a popular winter pastime and a Costa Brava property for sale close to the resorts means the best of all worlds – the beauty of rural Catalunya, proximity to winter sports and fabulous beaches just a short drive away.
