General
Every year, many people choose to buy a second home in Spain. Within a two-hour flight, you can be in a country with 300 sunny days a year, beautiful nature and a relaxed lifestyle.
Maybe you will be the next to make this dream come true. But Spain is big! Which region suits you best? How do you choose a place that perfectly matches your wishes and expectations?
As an experienced and recognized real estate agent in Spain, we are happy to help you on your way.
Costa Blanca, Costa Cálida or Costa del Sol: which one suits you?
Each Spanish coast has its own assets.
It is therefore worth discovering the differences first. This way you can make a choice that really suits you.
🌴 Costa Blanca: endless beaches and culture
The White Coast owes its name to the vast, white sandy beaches. But the Costa Blanca offers more:
✅ Clear blue sea and a pleasant microclimate
✅ Authentic Spanish villages and vibrant seaside resorts
✅ Lots of culture and nature – from historic towns to mountain walks
✅ Delicious gastronomy with fresh fish and tapas
Do you want to relax on the beach, enjoy Spanish culture or live outside for a long time? Then the Costa Blanca is a top choice.

This ‘warm coast’ will appeal to you if you like:
✅ Historic cities and a lively atmosphere
✅ Top gastronomy and nightlife
✅ Diving and water sports in the Mar Menor
✅ Excellent golf courses
👉 Investment tip: Property prices here are still lower than in other regions, but demand is rising rapidly. This is a promising place if you want to realise a nice added value!

☀️ Costa del Sol: sun and luxury
The ‘Sunny Coast’ is known worldwide for its Mediterranean lifestyle and exclusive charm. Here you can enjoy:
✅ Sunny summers and mild winters (up to 17°C in winter!)
✅ Fashionable seaside resorts such as Marbella and Estepona
✅ Andalusian cultural cities such as Seville and Granada
Keep in mind that it rains a little more here than on the Costa Blanca. But compared to Belgium or the Netherlands? A world of difference!
