Almost
everyone wants to live by the sea or at least have a second house with a sea
view and are thinking of buying a property in the south of Spain. But some are
wondering why property on Costa del Sol is more expensive than in other regions
of Spain. Let's try to understand:
1. The best
climate in the Mediterranean – 300 sunny days per year
Costa
del Sol means “Sunny Coast”. The region has this name due to the many
hours of sunshine and healthy Mediterranean climate. Yes! This is the best
climate in Europe with 300 days of sun per year. Also in the preseason and
the winter months, temperatures are very pleasant. At the Costa del Sol
itself there is never any snow and frost is a rarity. On relatively small
distance, in the Sierra Nevada nature reserve, you can ski during the winter
months. You can stand on skies in the morning and in the afternoon can enjoy
your glass of wine on the terrace at the coast.
2. The best
beaches in Europe

bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, it should be noted that in all there are 7
beaches with blue flags, an international standard to indicate the excellent
quality water, services, and meeting a range of environmental conditions and
facilities. This is one of the main reasons why foreigners come and buy property.
