The future for Murcia and the Costa Cálida
With an ongoing investment of 1 billion Euros by the Spanish Government, the potential for ‘The Warm Coast’ is tremendous.
The region benefits from a high quality network of motorways, good access to airports with a new airport at Covera due to open at the end of 2008. The coastline and interior are unspoilt and are far less developed than in the neighbouring Costa Blanca.
Currently under construction, and new to Spain, are several “Floridian” style gated communities embracing every amenity a resident or holidaymaker could wish for; golf courses, shopping malls, restaurants, fitness centres, leisure areas, a multitude of swimming pools and a fully comprehensive service for permanent and temporary residents alike - from building and grounds maintenance to the serving of meals in your home!
This is the future of residential development in Spain and the concept has proven highly successful both for residents and investors. One group of such developments has recently been named as one of the top ten investments in Spain (alongside all stocks, shares and other investment types available) by ‘Actualidad Econimica’, Spain’s leading investment newspaper.
The famous ‘La Manga’ resort and the unique lagoon of Mar Menor are at the heart of the Costa Cálida. With quality developments in the area and low purchase prices, excellent capital growth can be expected together with buoyant rental income returns.
