I disagree with the last poster. Motril is dead for several months of the year and although the projects around the golf are attractive, the course is not. This is really a Spanish only area and they tend to concentrate vacations in the 3 months around summer. There is nothing else there with exception to the golf and it's a long way from any airports and there is a big chunk of motorway missing en-route.

If you really want affordable from line golf close to the beach look further up the coast towards Almerimar, Roquetas de Mar and the new resort at Retamar called El Toyo. All are in Almeria Province, less than 30 minutes from Almeria Airport which is currently serviced better than Granada. All have a better hotel and tourism infrastructure which contributed to year round trade.

How do you mean "Motril is dead"? What makes Motril so attractive is that it's a real town all year round, not the typical place waiting for tourists from abroad to offer them gallons of beer. If you're interested in coming here from Britain to be surrounded by Brits in a British pub reading the British press, then this obviously isn't the place for you. But if you're looking for an unexploited place, then Motril is a good option. And by unexploited I mean uninvaded, not deserted. This is twenty-first century Spain, not Biafra.

Sorry chiri. I should have been more specific. The area around the golf 'Playa Granada' is deserted. The town it's self I agree is a vibrant busy attractive coastal town, but the thread was discussing golf investment property. I personally live in Almeria city for the reasons you give that Motril is attractive. Not an 'English Bar' in sight. I think many buyers and investors are looking for areas away from the traditional expat ghettos, and the coastline from the Costa Tropical of Granada and the Almeria coast north up to but not as far as Mojacar offer the buyer and holiday maker a taste of real Spain - for the moment.

Hi Monicacrossan
I have several properties in Medina Fairways available as resales, both two & three bed apartments & penthouses. My company sold 140 units in Medina Elvira to our investor clients and some now want to sell. Tell me what you are looking for and I am sure that I will have it. Prices are generally well below new properties elsewhere in the project.

You're right, Andy. Playa Granada IS STILL deserted. If you've run out of milk, you have to take the car. But Motril is only five minutes away by car, and within three years you won't be able to recognize Playa Granada. There will be a shopping centre, more golf courses, hotels, an investigation centre from the university of Granada, schools,etc etc etc. But please, nobody panic, this will never look like the Costa Brava. I think that all new projects are defined by good taste, and the place will never be "packed" either.

Hi
You are right that you need to consider tax
You should be aware though that the CGT laws chaged in Spain at the beginning of 2007. CGT for non-residebnce is now just 18%
