| The Costa de la Luz is the new hot
spot in Andalucia, the Costa del Sol having lost favour recently due
to the high prices prevailing in both new developments and existing
residences. The Costa de la Luz appears to be the ideal spot for such
people to look for Spanish property, and the area around Ayamonte
in the extreme south-west corner of the province of Huelva certainly
has much to recommend it.
The municipal authorities in the area are determined
to bar the worst excesses of overbuilding and poor infrastructure
which has blighted other areas in Spain, and this most south-westerly
part of the country still retains a lot of the old world charm that
used to prevail throughout the rest of Spain before being buried
in concrete and cars.
The Sea & Sun complex is a charming development
of 286 twobedroom properties with several different layouts. There
are groundfloor apartments with their own private gardens, first-floor
apartments with an extensive terrace and penthouse apartments with
a large terrace and a roof top solarium. All the residences boast
spacious rooms, two bathrooms and fully fitted kitchens, complete
with all wall and floor furnishings and the necessary electrical
appliances.
The complex is situated within its own beautifully landscaped gardens
enclosed by protective walls and with its own gated security entrance.
The gardens also have a large communal swimming pool with all necessary
sanitary facilities and a poolside bar, and there are other facilities
available for the residents' use. These include a spa, a sauna,
a games room and a gymnasium. Nevertheless, there are lots of other
facilities within easy reach of the Sea & Sun complex. There
are several marinas close by, with all water sport facilities available,
as well as a good selection of golf courses, both within Spain and
in the neighbouring Portuguese Algarve.
The prevailing weather is very pleasant, with cooling breezes from
the Atlantic to regulate the temperature during the summer. The
Sea & Sun complex is situated atop a sunny hill, giving the
residents good views over the surrounding unspoilt countryside,
and panoramic views of the River Guadiana and Portugal beyond.
With the Portuguese Faro Airport only 40 minutes drive from Ayamonte
and Seville Airport easily reached within 90 minutes, the area has
good connections to the rest of Europe. The vastly improved road
network and the efficient railway network ensure easy connection
to all parts of Spain and Portugal, making this up and coming part
of Andalucia an ideal place to buy. |
