Holiday homes, luxurious villa's and appartments in Spain

The province of Asturias is situated in the north of Spain in the Bay of Biscay. It borders on Galicia in the west, Cantabria in the east and Castilla-Leon in the south. The provincial capital Oviedo is centrally located in the most populated part of Asturias. The stretch of land between the mountains and the sea is only 55 kms and offers a varied landscape with many contrasts. Asturias forms a long corridor of deep valleys with a spectaculair landscape where you can see all shades of green imaginable. In this part of Spain there still exists a wide variety of fragile ecosystems and wildlife, that are long extinct in the rest of Europe. Almost one third of the territory of Asturias has been designated as Protected Countryside. Besides its wonderful nature Asturias also has a centuries old cultural history; the remains of cave paintings, traces of the Roman occupation, medieval castles and towers, countless Roman, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches form a unique legacy. The Asturian pre-Roman art belongs to the World Inheritance of Unesco since 1985. There are 14 constructions in this style in Asturias. All built between the 8th and 10th century A.D.

The coast of Asturias, 345 kms long, is made up of a wonderfully varied collection of beaches, caves and cliffs. You will find city beaches, hidden beaches in the middle of nature, dunes, natural monuments and Jurassic-like rock formations. Therefore a visit to the Jurassic museum is well worth the while. Asturias is the perfect place for an active holdiday, with plenty of walks (Grand Randonnee), mountainbiking, cycling, fishing or playing golf.

The southerly part of Costa Blanca, from Alicante, is also sometimes referred to as the Florida of Europe. This region is well known amongst other things for its salt lakes with flamingos, but above all for the most beautiful sandy beaches in Spain. What else does the Costa Brava have to offer you? The climate is one of the most healthy and most pleasant in the world, with clean air, crystal clear sea water and sunshine for more than 320 days a year. There are more than 20 beautifully built and perfectly maintained golf courses, a wonderful natural environment, a great diversity of convivial boulevards, shops, terraces and restaurants with delicious food at very reasonable prices. The city of Alicante is a very lively and modern city with a beautiful marina, a number of large shopping centres with free parking opportuneties everywhere, an old town centre with monumental buildings, the Barbara castle and a beautiful boulevard with a large fair every evening, Torrevieja is a large coastal town with a splendid boulevard, many terraces and a large marina which also holds a fair every summer. Torrevieja is well known for its nightlife so that streets are bustling until the early hours. On the edge of town is a big Aquapark with spectacular waterslides. Elche is the town of palms. Here you will find many parks, amongst others the Palmwoods, which is absolutely not to be missed.

The coastal strip from Perpignan near to the French border to Barcelona has been a favoured tourist destination for years. There are beautiful, far stretching beaches, but there are also smaller and more intimate bays. The seaside resorts also offer a great variety of different shops, restaurants, terraces, clubs and sporting activities. But the Costa Brava has much more to offer. Thirty percent of the region is a protected nature reserve. This is to be seen along the coast, where you'll find small beaches, encircled by Mediterranian flora and small caves that are hidden between the green pine trees. You can find a number of designated walking routes or routes that can be taken with the car. Also in this region there's enough cultural inheritance to be seen. In Girona you can find traces of the Iberian, Greek and Roman civilisations. A visit to these old settlements and towns are a must for the visitor to this area.

The Costa Calida borders the province of Murcia (belonging to the Costa Blanca) in the north and the Costa Almeria in the south. This approximately 250 km. long coastal wide sandy beaches are bathing 315 days a year in full sun. The Costa Calida offers access to two seas: The Mediterranean Sea with its sandy beaches and wide variety of coastal landscapes and the Mar Menor or "small sea", the largest natural pool in the world. The Mar Menor is separated from the Mediterranean Sea by a narrow peninsula of 22 kilometer long: La Manga del Mar Menor, a paradise for all kinds of water sports. Within the limits of this coast, everything is possible. You can learn to sail, dive into one of the finest diving areas, walk through beautiful parks, seek the benefits of the mud baths, or look for the intimacy of the small rocky bays. But it's not only sun and beach here. The Costa Calida also houses archaeological treasures, including the recently discovered Roman theater near Cartagena (the main seaport). There are numerous folk fairs, carnivals and festivals to visit. Most of the Costa Calida is very rough and therefore not as overwhelmed by tourism as the Costa Blanca. There are sand dunes, beaches, saltwater lagoons, mudflats and many facets of nature lovers. Not surprising therefore that some of these natural regions are protected area. For centuries a natural flora and fauna is created which determined the image of the Costa. Finally there is the exquisite Mediterranean cuisine which is based on a perfect combination of fish and seafood with natural products. This together with the friendly and hospitable people makes the guest will feel completely at home here.

'Costa del Sol' literally means 'the coast of the sun'. It's one of the most favoured holiday destinations for tourists from all over the world, first and foremost because of the climate and the beautiful beaches but it has so much more to offer. The Costa del Sol is situated in the province of Andalucia which is one of the most fascinating regions of Spain. A mix of typically small whitewashed villages (pueblos blancos), and well known cities towns such as Sevilla, Granada, Cordoba and Malaga. The region was ruled for a long period of time by the Moors and their influence can still be felt today. A visit to the world famous Alhambra in Granada makes this more than clear. Andalucia is also where bull fighting and flamenco dancing originates. Especially in the summer months there are many local festivals where the cream of Flamenco dancers come to perform. Inland from the coast there are many large wild nature reserves to visit. These so called 'Sierras' are rich in fauna and flora with an especially wide variety of birds of prey and mountain dwelling birds. These areas are ideal for walking and because of the many steep slopes are also perfect for climbers. The western part of the province Malaga is also called "Axarqua" and is known for its fascinating, quaint little villages which date back to the Moors era. The area has many caves of which the most well known are to be found in Nerja.

The Costa del Sol is also the place to be for every golf lover. A large choice of well kept golf courses in combination with 300 days of sun per year makes it everything a golfer could wish for.
