People who come here soon find out that this area is unspoilt and free of pollution and heavy industry, the air is sweet and the quality of light is pure. All the beaches in the area are blue flag beaches, golden, white sand or coves with pebbles and carpeted with ivory sea shells.

Surrounded by National park and managed carefully by an enlightened town council, developers have not built row upon row of identical high rise apartments. Instead there are a series of apartment, town houses, bungalows and villas carefully designed in sympathy with Spanish tradition set on a backdrop of the significant moorish legacy left behind in this part of Spain.

The area is blessed by a mild and pleasant climate. Called the Costa Azahar (Orange Blossom Coast) by the Moors because it's a perfect area to grow delicious and succulent oranges. A long summer with low rain fall followed by a mild winter is the usual fare, with people sunbathing on the beach in December. As the seasons pass we can't wait for spring as the smell of the orange blossom is pure ecstasy.

There is also a golf development under construction offering an 18 hole championship course, apartments and town houses.

Property in this part of Spain is a sure investment. As time passes this location, the undiscovered jewel that it is, will only become more select and will prove an excellent investment in years to come.

As governments around the world invoke more and more taxes on flights and travel. Spain will always be top on the list of European holiday makers in years to come.
