Buyers Paradise April 24, 2009

If you are in the enviable position of having money to spend on buying a property in Andalucia, the choice is bountiful with prices which will make your heart soar. Despite the pound to euro conversion, there are still great bargains available. I will be posting particularly good finds as and when I hear of them.

Here´s a beautiful andalucian cottage set in a traditional country hamlet just outside of the village of Villanueva del Rosario. It has 3 double bedrooms, a spacious open-plan lounge, dining room with a wood burning stove, kitchen, large utility room, bathroom, small interior patio and patio to the front of house. At the rear, a hop, skip and a jump from the house is a sizeable allotment and garage. Price: in the region of 140,000 euros. Please contact me for photos and details.

Natural Living in Andalucia April 24, 2009

 

 

 

I paid a visit to the Soy Natura event held at the Congress Centre in Malaga last week. Whilst it was a wee bit amateur compared to similarly themed events in UK, it was encouraging to see so many locals present keen to learn more about alternative living – the organic food stall was overrun!

I picked up an interesting free magazine called La Chispa http://www.lachispa.net  which is published in both English and Spanish and contains articles and plenty of ads for businesses and individuals offering natural living products and services. I admit it seemed a little light on content verses adverts but it’s a step in the right direction and I look forward to seeing its development.

I visited its website to see if it has any distribution points in or around Antequera but it appears not so i’ve offered to remedy that! I will re-post if any inland pick-up points become available.
