Why choose a rural property near the sea?
Those who have lived near the sea know how hard it is to be far from it again. The landscape, the climate, the gastronomy and the quality of life on the coast make the seaside one of the most sought-after settings for living or starting a business. These are some of the reasons why more and more people choose a property near the sea:
- Beaches to enjoy all year round. With over 7,000 km of coastline, Spain is home to some of the most spectacular and least crowded beaches in Europe. Hidden coves between cliffs, sweeping stretches of crystal-clear water and spots that remain virtually untouched throughout the year.
- Outdoor activities. Surfing, sailing, fishing, diving, hiking or simply walking along the beach at any time of year. The coast offers a range of options that does not depend on the season.
- An exceptional climate. The Atlantic and Cantabrian coasts enjoy a mild climate all year round: cool summers without extreme heat and mild winters. A climate that allows you to enjoy the outdoors in every season and that is becoming an increasingly sought-after asset.
- Landscapes of exceptional beauty. Cliffs dropping into the Atlantic, white sandy beaches, estuaries with fishing villages and an endless horizon over the sea. The Spanish coastline offers landscapes of a beauty and authenticity that are not easily found elsewhere.
- World-class seafood gastronomy. Living near the sea in Spain means having direct access to some of the best food in the world: fresh shellfish, fish straight from the dock, octopus, barnacles and a culinary culture that revolves around the sea.
- A property market with lasting value. Coastal properties maintain and increase their value over time. Demand for properties near the sea has grown continuously, and the regulations limiting construction in coastal areas mean that supply is becoming increasingly scarce.
