Costa Calida Or The Warm Coast

Renowned for its unique micro-climate, one of the healthiest in the world, the Costa Calida stretches for 250 km from the Mar Menor down to Aguilas, in the south.

This beautiful rugged region with it's quaint fishing villages and romantic hillside hideaways was one of Spain's best kept secrets. However, this "forgotten corner" is now attracting massive interest from Spanish and foreign buyers.
Whilst prices are slightly lower than neighbouring Costa Blanca, this region is set to achieve great popularity over the next few years. Famed for its international golf and tennis tournaments hosted over recent years, the area is dominated by the Mar Menor (little sea) which at 170 km2 is Europe's largest saltwater lagoon. A windsurfer's paradise!

The Mar Menor is divided from the Mediterranean sea by La Manga, a 22 km long narrow stretch of land which, with it's numerous hotels, casinos, restaurants, beach-side bars and watersports facilities, is very popular with summer holidaymakers. The Mar Menor attracts watersports enthusiasts all year round along with those who simply want to enjoy the therapeutic qualities of the nearby natural mud baths.

Cartegena and Mazzaron are two coastal towns attracting interest as is the historical city and region of Murcia. Indeed "Murcia" is fast becoming the new "buzz" word for those considering the merits of investing in Spanish property. The airport at San Javier is being extended, plus a second international airport is currently under construction and a high-speed railway will eventually link the area with Madrid.

Here at Platinum Properties, we are continually sourcing 'up and coming' areas for investment, and or, re-location purposes, and feel that the Costa Calida offers a tremendous alternative as one of the most 'up and coming' Costas.
