Filed under: Property — Barrington Homes @ 10:53 pm

Taylor Wimpey, one of the largest British based housebuilding companies, have recently started construction on one of the last remaining beachfront plots in the Costa del Sol. La Galera beach in Estepona is the site of their Horizon Beach development. This will be a great asset to the area of Estepona as Taylor Wimpey are renowned for their quality and luxurious development throughout Spain. Taylor Wimpey is a FTSE 250 company and have been building since 1958. Flagship Taylor Wimpey developments include Los Castillos Duquesa, Monte Duquesa and numerous developments in the famous La Quinta Golf and Los Arqueros Golf.

In addition to the obvious excitement in the Real Estate industry about this superb beachfront development in Estepona, the development proves and reinforces the notion that the Costa del Sol is a great place for not only FTSE companies but also individuals to invest in property in Spain. Investor confidence is bound to steadily return to the overseas housing market which may potentially increase house prices in the area. Could 2014 be the year to capitalise on the current low house prices in Duquesa and the Costa del Sol? Contact one of the Barrington Homes team for specialised and experienced advice.

Hipica Park Childrens Play Park

Filed under: Lifestyle,Things to do — Barrington Homes @ 3:05 pm

Manilva and the Costa del Sol in my opinion is a superb place to raise a family and also for family holidays. At this time of year indoor play centres are a fantastic place to stay warm and have a great time. There are numerous indoor play centres within a 30 minute drive from Duquesa including La Galaxia, Kidz Kingdom and Pequeland are amongst the most popular. Our familys favourite is Hipica Park based in Sotogrande.

December in Duquesa

Filed under: Property,Weather in Spain — Barrington Homes @ 3:02 pm

Winters in Duquesa can be simply stunning. A simple stroll along the beach in the sunshine is bliss. I would like to share a few photographs taken by Damian Barrington on the 1st December 2013.

The clear blue skies, warm temperatures and light nights make winters here a pleasure. The increase in popularity of Duquesa over recent years means that all bars and restaurants in Puerto de la Duquesa Marina open all year round. Cafes on the South side of Puerto Duquesa Marina such as C Bar or Ocean Cafe provide excellent suntraps and ideal places to people watch and enjoy a coffee or lunch in Puerto Duquesa Marina.
