LIVING in Costa del Sol nowadays may be as serene as it gets. Because winter is approaching, Costa del Sol tends to get colder nowadays with temperatures expected as low as -3 degrees Celsius by January or February. In the meantime, vacationers who were not around at the peak of summer can enjoy the majestic sunrise over the Mediterranean in colder temperatures nowadays. This is ideal for honeymooning couples who hate the rowdy crowds during summer and want the beach all for themselves.
As Costa del Sol braces for next summer, the local government here is finding new ways on how to improve the tourism spots here. In fact, they have appointed Diego Martin Reyes as the new planning commissioner overlooking the whole Costa del Sol stretch. Based in Marbella, Reyes is former president of the Marbella interim committee. His appointment was caused by Manuel Chaves, the president of the Junta de Andalucia. The Costa del Sol and the Andalucian folks are real serious about this one. They post of Costa del Sol planning commissioner is a new one.
Reyes’s job will be to oversee that all beach and other related resorts in Costa del Sol are operated according to quality. These beaches must pass the periodic inspections done by the European Union so that they can all have blue flag accreditation. A beach resort or a golf course or a scuba diving spot having a blue flag accreditation means that even tap water in its premises can be drunk. Thus, you will never find any hotel in Spain with signage that says that tap water cannot be drunk. A golf course having a blue flag accreditation means that their instructors and caddies are all certified by the PGA. A scuba diving resort having the same accreditation means that their instructors are certified by the appropriate body.
Among the vast coastal areas under Reyes’s control aside from Marbella will be Benahavis, Benalmadena, Casares, Estepona, Fuengirola, Manilva, Mijas and Ojen. He will be responsible to implement the Costa del Sol Integral Plan which is now in the drawing board of the councilors in Andalucia.
Another parallel development done by the Andalucian authorities in Costa del Sol nowadays is to set up a help desk for visiting Europeans and Americans. Help desks for foreigners are supposed to be seen only in capital cities such as Madrid but the Andalucian authorities find their plan to be feasible. They say that setting up a help desk will help rein in more tourists, thus boosting the economy in the Costa del Sol area. The results will definitely be a chain of events. Once foreign tourists will be in the area, word will spread to their countrymen about how beautiful Costa del Sol is. This can result to more tourists. And some of these tourists eventually buy up vacation retreat homes here. The overall situation will be buoying up the economy in the whole Costa del Sol. So what are you waiting for?

COSTA del Sol is the stretch of Mediterranean coastline in southern Spain particularly in the community of Andalusia. Many British and other Western and Northern European expatriates flock here and eventually settle down here for good to retire for the rest of their lives because they find the climate here very temperate and very accommodating all of the year. During summer, the temperature is at 18 to 23 degrees Celsius, relatively warm for tanning. Besides, there are numerous nudist beaches in Costa del Sol populated mostly by foreigners for Spanish natives still tend to be more conservative owing to their Catholic and Moorish roots. During winter, many foreigners remain at Costa del Sol because the snowy Mediterranean coastline is a romantic sight to behold. Geriatric lovers would want to reminisce their passion during these times after all. A community of many tourists begets a very vibrant real estate industry in that area. Thus, there are many kinds of properties which have sprouted in Costa del Sol for the past few decades or so. Their market has never been saturated and today as this article is being written, property prices continue to rise despite the mortgage crunch across the Atlantic in the United States. Properties continue to be renovated and it is a booming industry for real estate agents and home inspectors.
Before a tourist gets to settle down in any part of Costa del Sol, there are things and procedures to be followed because buying properties is no laughing matter at all. Buying a house in Costa del Sol is not just intended for a couple to live in for the rest of his or her life, it can also well be their investment. Because of the relaxed real estate scene in Spain as far as individual foreign ownership is concerned, many British expatriates want to buy properties and lease these to their compatriots who are staying in a lesser period for say only two weeks. This makes for a lucrative economy in Costa del Sol who rely on two robust incomes – tourism and earnings from real estate investments like annual income tax returns filed by owners of these holiday retreats. Another reason why British tourists are enticed to invest here is because of the minimal property taxes. For just a very small euro amount, garbage collection taxes are remitted to the local government monthly.
So for those foreign tourists who want to buy a piece of Costa del Sol, it is suggested that they stay there for at least two nights in the area once during summer and another time during winter so they can get a feel of the place. They must also hire the services of a Spanish lawyer who is adept in real estate laws and who is fluent in English of course. This is not a rarity since Spain, and Costa del Sol in particular, is abundant with English-speaking citizens thanks to an EU declaration that all high school students must acquire a second language. Students often select English because there are lots of British tourists in the area.
