Why invest in Spain?

Granada Dream Homes believes that in the current recession with property prices at an all time low, Spain is an excellent country in which to invest now because it has:

established membership of the EEC
political and economic stability
excellent infrastructure (international airports , motorways and rail links)
an excellent climate with over 300 days of sunshine
a cultural and historical background
a wonderful variety of cuisine across the provinces
an outdoor lifestyle - who doesn't love eating and drinking al fresco?
a strong family ethic – family is so important to the Spaniards
a rich variety of Spanish wines
traditional ‘personal’ shopping – the supermarkets haven’t taken over yet!
wonderful and varied landscapes - from the lush green north, to the mighty Pyrenees, the deserts of Almeria, the Alpujarras, the Rias in Galicia, the wilds of Extremadura and the skiing in the Sierra Nevada National Park

All in all Spain presents an excellent opportunity for investment in the property market

Granada is located close to the Sierra Nevada mountains in the province of Andalucía in the south of Spain. It is about 70km from the Mediterranean coast and being in this position means it is possible to both ski in the mountains and sunbathe on the beach in the same day. Fly into Granada International Airport, just 20 minutes drive from the city centre.

The properties on offer are located in the villages of Pinos Genil and Duda (15 minutes drive from central Granada ), Guejar-Sierra (20 minutes drive) and Sierra Nevada ski station of Prodallano (25 minutes drive from Pinos Genil).

Granada in Andalucia, Southern Spain

One of the most beautiful cities in Spain, Granada is situated at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains and is famous for its vibrant night-life, the prestigious University of Granada and the Alhambra Palace. Originally called Ilbyr when first settled in prehistoric times by native tribes. It then became Illibris when the Romans colonized southern Spain and built their own city. In the 8th century when The Arabs invaded the peninsula they gave it its current name of Granada. In 1492 it became the last Muslim city to fall to the Christians, at the hands of Queen Isabel of Castile and her husband Ferdinand of Aragon.

The Alhambra Palace overlooking the city of Granada is the most visited attraction in Spain. One of the most brilliant jewels of universal architecture it is a series of palaces and gardens built under the Nazari Dynasty in the 14th C. This mighty compound of buildings – including the summer palace called Generalife, with its fountains and gardens - stands at the foot of Spain's highest mountain range, the Sierra Nevada, and overlooks the city below and the fertile plain of Granada. It was completed toward the end of Muslim rule in Spain by Yusuf I (1333-1353) and Muhammed V, Sultan of Granada (1353 -1391). The Alhambra mixes natural elements with man-made ones, and is a testament to the skill of Muslim craftsmen of that time. The literal translation of Alhambra "red fortress" derives from the colour of the red clay of the surroundings of which the fort is made. The buildings of the Alhambra were originally whitewashed, however, the buildings now seen today are reddish (Wikipedia).
