News article quote from property investment advice experts, 'eyeonspain' (2006):

"Huelva, on the western Costa de la Luz, has 'hotspot' written all over it! There are two massive triggers coming into place - a proposed international airport and a high-speed train connection with Seville. Mix in the beautiful undeveloped coastline, the protections that limit construction and the affordability and you have a sure-fire winner from where I am sitting..." ¹

The joy of living in Spain is endless and no more so than in this splendid region. The amazing mix of the old and the new where one minute you are in a winding narrow cobbled street with incredible Roman and Arabic architecture and the next you enter an area of modern 21st century surroundings. It has the third lowest cost of living and has the highest annual economic growth rate in Europe. The health care system is the 4th best in the world and infrastructure and transportation continually offer greater options for inland and foreign travel. It is therefore not surprising to know that Spain draws 50,000,000 visitors every year. The Spanish Ministry of Tourism predicts that more than one million foreigners will set up home on the Spanish coastline in the next 6 years alone, so potential for investment is great.

The West Coast of Andalucia is unspoiled and has been the secret of Spanish holidaymakers for years, with over 150 mile coastline of some of the most impressive beaches in Europe. Development in this part of Spain is strict and it is one of the few remaining Spanish coastlines that haven't been saturated by concrete. This isn't surprising as the province boasts the biggest reserve park in Europe (Doñana National Park) so preservation is of the up most importance for the local Spanish government and residents. The West Coast province of Andalucia proudly stands by their unique appreciation of land and nature and has created a coastline development which blends in beautifully with its surroundings whilst respecting building distance limits from the sea. Apart from its amazing coastline, the region also boasts numerous golf-courses, the Sierra (picturesque mountain villages), enchanting towns, horse activities, a new formula 2 car racing circuit, an endless amount of water sports and bird sanctuaries, great wine and exquisite cuisine, its speciality being fresh sea-food. It's also the home of the famous Jamón Serrano (cured Parma ham) which is a renowned gastronomic product in the region. Overall, it has activities to suit everyone's needs.

Property experts and renowned developers have put their trust in this area and investment here will give you more for your money than any other of the coastline hotspots. Property remains to be significantly less expensive compared to other regions like Malaga and Alicante although the cost of property is steadily rising as more people invest in the area so there's no time like the present when it comes to investment.

A large number of hotel chains have placed their trust in the area in recent years which makes for a sound investment. In addition, a flourishing rental market has developed in this region and investment in a property with good rental potential can achieve significant returns.

The flawless climate is ideal for everyone's needs, from late evening barbeques relaxing by the pool, to a stroll on the beach. The translation of "Costa de la Luz" is the 'coast of light'. The name is rather significant as our region has more sunlight than any other part of Spain or even Europe to be precise.

The West Coast is also one of the only coastlines in Spain that has received the prestigious "Blue Ribbon Award", which is only awarded to the cleanest beaches in the world.
