It was during the sixties when Spain became famous for its beaches. Many northern europeans came to spend there summer holidays at the mediterranean coast.
This was due to the excellent climate that the Mediterranean countries have like Spain, Italy or Greece besides to the great hospitality offered by its people. This way the northern tourists changed there rainy days for sunny days, with a nicely and warm temperature and sea breezes to a much more affordable price compared to the standard of living in their countries. Mediterranean countries began to build houses to supply the high demand of tourists, arriving steadily throughout the year.
Among the first who start to colonize the spanish coasts where the german people. Generally, retirees from Northern Europe came to the Costa Blanca during the winter months, months with a very pleasant temperatures, and went back to their home countries during the summer months, maintaining this way a constant temperature throughout the year.
"The prices of the housing at that time where so low for us that many of us bought a property" said Franz, a german resident in Moraira, Alicante coast. Many of them came here to live permanently and started all kind of business, from smallest shops with typical food from their country to large big construction companies and real estates, offering this way all kinds of service to their fellow citizens in their own lenguage.
The financial crisis and real estate cisis rapidly dropped its sellin down, which was the main engine of the local economy, new opportunities have arisen for many people who, until very recently, where only dreaming of having a house on the Costa Blanca.
"You can find properties for less than 150.000 euros near the beach and in perfect conditions" says Antonio, real estate agent in Calpe. Many spanish people who had their second residence here are selling them at very affordable prices because they can not afford it anymore" says Michael, another manager of property sales in Calpe of english nationality. We have been looking for an apartment for sale in Calpe and found a great apartment next to the beach for less than 160.000 euros. And also sold completely furnished", says Ruslan, who came from long way Siberia and who will now be a new owner of a property in Calpe.
