ROQUETAS DE MAR

Roquetas de Mar is situated 25 km west of Almera and 160 km east of Malaga. It is one of the few resorts in Europe where the rainfall is scarce. The sun shines for more than 320 days a year!

On this aerial view, you can see that part of Roquetas Serena Beach which has been developed and below that (located on the lower center part of the photograph) is the area that will soon be developed with new apartments and a large shopping center. You can also see the white plastic covers which are still used for agriculture but they will disappear sometime in the future leaving space for construction and Roquetas will then become a whole new city. Real Estate prices will increase as developments continue to be built. Naturally the Prime Property is always near or on the beach, but all properties in this fast growing area are "Prime" for investment.
