Santa Ana

Excellent Climate
The south coast of Spain has long been a magnet for northern Europeans seeking respite from cold, cloudy drizzle and when you look at the climate it's not surprising. With an average of 325 days of sunshine per year, the south eastern corner of Spain enjoys beautiful year-round weather. It has a semi-arid climate with mild winters and long, warm to hot summers and very low rainfall too. In fact, Almería is reported to be the sunniest region in Europe, with an average 3000 hours per year.

 

Easy to get to
South eastern Spain is extremely well-served for air travel. There are major airports at Almería, Malaga, Alicante and Murcia. It is possible to fly to the area direct from all parts of the UK, with no need for a time-consuming transfer in London. All the budget airlines fly to either Malaga (2 hours drive), Alicante (2 hours), Almería (1 hour) or Murcia (1 1⁄2 hours). Flight time is approximately 2 1⁄2 hours.

Gorgeous Setting
The province of Andalucia is a large one, and its eastern end, the Almería region, is blessed with beautiful scenery. The Sierra del Aguilón (Mountains of the Eagles) rise up to the north and gorgeous sandy beaches stretch out along the Mediterranean. In between there are quaint hill towns and the famous, atmospheric "white villages" where it seems time stands still. Dramatic rock formations dot the coastline and you might recognise places you have seen in famous "spaghetti westerns", and "Lawrence of Arabia", which were filmed in the region.

Restricted planning
Having learned the lessons of over-development further round the Mediterranean coastline, the authorities have clamped down on the planning permission process. Much of this region is protected national parkland with the remainder being agricultural land. It is notoriously difficult to obtain change of land use permission, and all other building requests have to go through a complicated and time-consuming process at various levels of government - local and regional. It is not permitted to build on frontline seafront land, any new buildings must be set back, and no building can rise higher than three storeys. This is good news for the property investor as it restricts supply and preserves the region's natural beauty.

About the development
Mundo Aguilón is a high-end golf development, which aims to be the best in the region. The 18-hole golf course was started 6 months ago and has already been landscaped. The apartment buildings are arranged around the course, offering views of the greens and fairways, as well as sea and mountain vistas. The basic infrastructure of the site is well underway, roads have been laid and surfaced, streetlights installed and a long cycle-circuit already completed which skirts the whole site.

The development as a whole will benefit from the amenities provided for the golfer. The main attraction is the course itself, and residents will be offered preferential rates to use all facilities, including the clubhouse, the golfing school and shop. Each section of the development will benefit from a large communal swimming pool, shops, bars and restaurants. There will also be other sporting facilities, including tennis courts and fitness centre. At a later phase of the development a hotel and spa will be built. Owing to its proximity to the foot of the Sierra del Aguilón, it is easy to enjoy hiking in the hills, which offer great views of the surrounding area. You may even spot an elusive eagle - these hills are named Mountains of the Eagle in Spanish.

Santa Ana
The section of the Mundo Aguilón development we are offering is called Santa Ana. It will consist of 238
apartments in total, with the great advantage that all of these will be sea-facing, providing great views. There will be ninety 2- and 3-bedroom apartments available to our customers, and these will be finished to a high standard. They will have underground parking, garden areas and the whole site benefits from year-round security surveillance. The apartments will be arranged in terraced "stepped" design, with each enjoying their own private outside area.
