Algarve – A Golfer’s Paradise

The Algarve, world renowned for its mild climate, woke up to golf in 1966 when Penina opened. It was an emblem course, designed by Englishman Sir Henry Cotton who transformed a rice field into a beautiful course after the necessary earthworks and planting 300 thousand trees.

According to regional environmental association Almargem, there are currently 39 golf courses in the Algarve, some of which are under the final phase of construction. A further 13 are still at the project stage, which means that the region could have more than 50 courses in the next few years.

Golf investors continue to prefer the Algarve region, according to the vice-president of the national tourism board, who said there were more than 20 requests for licences for golf courses currently under application, most for the Algarve. Several of these new courses are planned for the eastern Algarve, especially in the county of Alcoutim, which is preparing to have its first three courses built in the near future.Also not yet constructed, but under planning, are future golf resorts Verde Lago in Castro Marim, Monte Rei in Vila Real de Santo António and Quinta da Ombria in Loulé.

Spain is the NEW Spain!

Ok, Spanish property may seem like it's been done to death. Many people said that it was over for the whole Costa real estate world, but Spain is quite possibly the New Spain, now.

Many industry players have commented on this, from the Financial Times to pre and post completion specialists such as Snagging Overseas(http://http//www.snaggingoverseas.com/2009/03/spain-is-new-spain.html).

The question we get asked at Amazing Resorts is if now is the time or not for investing in Spain. The real answer is something only you can know. We're not trying to be mystic or obtuse, but now is the time to get the best bargain in Spain. If you want a property that is good quality, well located, and fun to use, NOW is the time to get it.

At the end of the day, the value of a property is derived from what you can do with it. As a result we say buy in the Costa del Sol. There is no other place so well connected, with such good infrastructures and, above all, with such top quality property.

With more than 60 flights a day to Malaga airport, top notch restaurants and bars and the world famous Puerto Banus (Or Port of Abuse!) as many people call it.

You might want to enjoy a quiet Spanish meal in picturesque Mijas village or just stay properly British in Torremolinos and enjoy a pint with the football. the Costa del Sol has absolutely everything to offer you.
