Costa Blanca - Moraira and Javea Property Blues

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

2007 was not a good year for Agents in the Spanish Property market. The global credit crunch affected not only the US housing market but the knock on effect could be seen around the world including the Costa Blanca region of Spain which had seen unprecedented growth over recent years in towns like Moraira and Javea.
Moraira Property whilst not falling in value as much as areas such as the Costa del Sol have seen potential buyers standing off from purchasing property, waiting to see if the market has further to fall.
Javea property has also been damaged by the over-supply in the last few years of apartments which have been going up at an alarming rate. At one point the Javea skyline resembled East berlin after the fall of the wall there were so many construction cranes in evidence.

In early 2008 there seemed to be an increase in those looking for property. However a depreciating sterling exchange rate has helped to further dampen interest with any drop in the Euro value of property being undermined by, or even wiped out by the poor prevailing rate of exchange.

Interest still is present though in both Moraira and Javea and as properties for sale are beginning to dry up, the supply side of the economic curve may prove to be the solution to the property markets problems.

Andalucia - Inland property in Axarquia

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

When you think of Spain and the Costa del Sol, you think of the sun-drenched beaches of Marbella and Fuengirola. Little has been written about the rural country just a few miles inland from the beaches of Andalucia and even less about the Axarquia region. The rolling hills that surround the small towns of Vinuela and Periana, Alcaucin and Los Romanes offer the quiet seclusion of Spanish life a stones throw away from the hustle and bustle of the coastal metropolises. Those looking for a more relaxed lifestyle in the hills of Andalucia would do worse than search for Axarquia property instead of the crowded coastal resorts. The other aspect to the country life is of course that prices in the inland areas of Andalucia are a fraction of those found nearer the coast. If this not enough of an incentive, it is good to remember that Property for sale in Lake Vinuela will give you the water you may be searching for without having to travel the motorways to the coast. You can now find specialist estate agents in the area to help you through the search and purchase process. So check the area out and you may find Andalucia Property is just what you are looking for.

Looking for the Ancient Continent

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

The puzzle of an ancient civilization has captured the imaginations of students of the unknown and perplexed philosophers for over two millennia. With our own rapid “magical” advances in communication, Online book store readers can now enjoy a vast array of titles dealing with the enigma of Atlantis, both from a scholarly perspective and best recent science fiction novels.

There are more theories about what the nature of this ancient civilization was like and where it was located and beneath which sea the ruins might be encountered than practically any other story of a Golden Age. Indeed, the topic of a lost continent which preceded ours has endured precisely because it explains many mysteries as we confront what may turn out to be our own Deluge or Golden Age.

Renowned prophet Edgar Cayce described Atlantis as a a huge expanse, rivaling the dimensions of Greenland. As it is told in the medium’s inspired vision, the inhabitants of the Island made use of powerful psychic abilities and technologies, and seeded colonies to the oddly congruent pyramid building peoples of the founders of Western Civilization and the Empires of native America. The subject is often related with reincarnation.

Some modern advocates suggest the people of Atlantis built their technology on alternative energy, exceeding us in controlling solar power.

Plausible guesses on the location of Atlantis stretch from the Far East to the New World, although, of course the most promising suggestions that are European islands, most notably Crete and Cyprus.

It might never be certain the true story, however, we’d be foolish to doubt: cultural innovation has achieved high levels of advancement in the distant past and the process of development and catastrophe, possibly many times, long before the hazy halls of time we often are used to thinking of as being origin of culture.

Summer in Australia - some places you might want to visit

Monday, January 28th, 2008

In Australia the winter days are over and spring is coming. And no matter on what continent you live, you can start thinking about the summer season. I did just that and came to think about the Australian beaches. The summer on this continent can be pretty harsh, but once you come near the ocean you will surely forget the heat. So that’s what I am going to tell you about – the best beaches in Australia, where you can spend some amazing summer days.

I will begin with Palm Beach. It is located an hour away north from Sydney and visiting it is definitely worth it. The beach itself is about 3 kilometers long and has clean white sand all along. There are shops, restaurants and cafes on the southern end of the beach line. Half of the beach, where there are no parking spaces, is usually very calm and not really crowded. Hyams Beach is another recommended place, situated in Jervis Bay (New South Whales). Its waters and sands are also among the cleanest in the world. Jervis Bay has the status of a national park and it is very popular place among tourists and locals.

In Port Douglas, Queensland, you can find the Four Mile Beach. It is perhaps the best one in the state and offers warm and clear waters and a perfect landscape with the ocean, beach and palms. And when it comes to Port Douglas I cannot help but think about the Great Barrier Reef.

Last, but not least, in Victoria you can visit the Ninety Mile Beach. It is a long strip of land with perfect sand and it is among the most natural beaches, unspoiled by human hand. In the waters in the area there are numerous marine species and you can go whale and dolphin sighting. You can also swim, fish, walk or just lie in the sun. And when mentioning Victoria, I will remind you of the Great Ocean road, which is a must-see if you go to Australia. It is 106 kilometers long and offers some of the best views around the continent.

You may also find a lot of apartment and villa rentals that have their own swimming pools which means that you won’t have any problems finding a sunbed to use.
