A region open to all possibilities
Beaches for every taste, encounters with nature, luxury recreation, historical sites, and much more position the region in Spanish and international tourism. Recent studies show that more and more people prefer to rent during the season rather than stay in hotels.
This region offers the possibility of education at all levels. Considering the employment sources generated by tourism and its growth, this is a place where one can live well. Therefore, long-term rentals are as profitable, if not more so, than vacation rentals. It means that, if you decide to invest in the western coast, the profits would not be dependent on the tourist season.
Rentals on the Western Costa del Sol bring so much financial solvency to owners that banks grant loans to buy in the area more easily than before. Financial institutions would not do this if the investment recovery was not guaranteed.
Everything indicates that it is undeniable that this area will become increasingly well-valued. One of the towns gained a third of its initial value in just one year. Due to market behavior and development trends, official sources indicate that it is a good time to acquire properties in the area for their rental.
