Costa Dorada Property
Prices of Costa Dorada property are below average for the country and certainly much cheaper than property in Barcelona, though the nearer you get to the Catalan capital, the higher property prices become.
The ‘Golden Coast’ is less wild than the Costa Brava to the north, the climate is excellent in summer, though winters can be very cold. Consequently some of the more popular holiday destinations can be deserted off season.
Tarragona is a busy commercial and fishing port but it also benefits from sandy beaches and coves. It is also just 12 kilometres from Reus airport, and well connected to the rest of the coast. Salou, close to the Port Aventura water park, and Cambrils are excellent family resorts.
Looking inland can bring up some excellent Costa Dorada property bargains. Particularly popular with overseas property buyers are the traditional masias, stone-built country properties, either as renovation projects or as refurbished, habitable properties. Owning a Costa Dorada property will require the desire to participate with local life as it lacks the expat-friendly amenities of some other costas.
