So what can you expect to get for your money if you are looking to buy a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catalunyacasas.com\/\">house in Spain<\/a>, especially in this region of Catalonia?<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-86152\" src=\"https:\/\/catalunyacasas.kigobook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/914\/2018\/10\/a_71.jpg\" alt=\"a_71\" width=\"1945\" height=\"1297\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The first thing a property buyer will look for is appreciation, distance from airports ,and rentability. It\u2019s not all about coastal properties either, as some of the quaint interior villages rent for a premium in the summer months which also makes them a good buy for the investor or expatriate.<\/p>\n<p>This area of Catalonia is not cheap; it attracts the more discerning clientele. However, if you look hard enough, you can pick up a wonderful 2- or 3-bedroom villa tucked away among pine trees with a backdrop of mountains just a few moments from the coast for a reasonable price.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most popular areas for foreign purchases on the Costa Brava is the charming old town of Begur. It\u2019s walking distance to stunning beaches, has a character and warmth that visitors love, and its <em>pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance<\/em> is an ancient castle ripe for exploration. Plus, properties close to here offer really good rental potential. The town is a regular on the festival circuit which ensures that rentability is high for many weeks of the year.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-70215\" src=\"https:\/\/catalunyacasas.kigobook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/914\/2018\/10\/shutterstock_182462858.jpg\" alt=\"shutterstock_182462858\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><br \/>\nAnother very popular resort for foreign purchasers on the Costa Brava is Llafranc. This pretty coastal town with old world charm has a beautiful beach, exquisite restaurants and coastal walks, and is family friendly \u2013 and more importantly, it\u2019s less than an hour\u2019s drive from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.girona-airport.net\/\">Girona Airport<\/a>. You can invest in a 3-bedroom semi-detached house with sea views or a luxury apartment just 500 metres from the beach.<\/p>\n<p>If you are seeking a buy-to-let <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catalunyacasas.com\/\">property in Spain<\/a> or simply looking to purchase a property for holiday rental on the Costa Brava, these are a few areas that should be considered.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-indent: 20px;width: auto;padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px;text-align: center;font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif;color: #ffffff;background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px;cursor: pointer\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent years the property market in the northeast corner of Spain has experienced a resurgence, with investors and property&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[47,59,14,15,16,18,122,180,169,150,63,64,19,67,20,69,71,21,38,75,76,161,77,151,147,22,23,24,157,25,81,162,26,154],"class_list":["post-86150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","tag-barcelona","tag-barcelona-accommodation","tag-barcelona-holiday-rental","tag-barcelona-vacation-rental","tag-barcelona-villa","tag-catalunya-casas","tag-costa-brava-holiday-rental","tag-costa-brava-vacation-rental","tag-costa-brava-villa","tag-costa-dorada-holiday-rental","tag-costa-dorada-vacation-rental","tag-costa-dorada-villa","tag-family-villa-barcelona","tag-family-villa-spain","tag-holiday-in-barcelona","tag-holiday-in-spain","tag-houses-in-spain","tag-rent-house-barcelona","tag-rent-house-spain","tag-rent-villa-barcelona","tag-spain-holiday-rental","tag-spain-vacation-rental","tag-spain-villa","tag-vacation-rental-barcelona","tag-vacation-rental-in-spain","tag-vacation-villa-barcelona","tag-villa-barcelona","tag-villa-in-barcelona","tag-villa-in-spain","tag-villa-with-pool-barcelona","tag-villa-with-pool-in-spain","tag-villa-with-pool-spain","tag-villa-with-private-pool-barcelona","tag-villas-in-barcelona"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
