The Costa Brava is a haven of peace where many French people like to make their home. But is this dream accessible to all? According to the French Consulate, there are almost 50,000 French residents on the Costa Brava, and every year new arrivals come in search of a certain quality of life. Why do you ask? What's good about the Costa Brava? What's life like in this northeastern region of Spain?
The Costa Brava's climate and proximity to the sea
On the Costa Brava, as in many places in Spain, the summer season starts in June and ends around October. You can really enjoy bathing and water sports in this region during this period without having to spend all your money.
A relaxed population
This is an important point, especially when you come from France. Here, the population is relaxed and warm, and people don't get upset at the drop of a hat. If your bus is going to be 10 minutes late, it's no big deal - it's a good opportunity to chat with your neighbor.
Safety on the Costa Brava
With the current climate in France, the notion of safety is even more important. On the Costa Brava, you'll feel safe and secure without having to deal with a heavy police presence on the streets.
Real estate remains affordable on the Costa Brava
Real estate on the Costa Brava is attracting new owners every day, especially the French, who are benefiting from the rate adjustment introduced in 2007, which enables them to acquire property at a very attractive price.
Towns like Rosas, Empuriabrava, Lloret del Mar and Santa Margarida are attracting more and more people thanks to their sublime beaches, nearby monuments and festive atmosphere. Why not try some of the quiet, charming, typically Mediterranean villages such as Monells, Begur, Llançà or Torrella de Montgri?
Attractive working hours
Because the Costa Brava is so hot during the summer months, many companies arrange special working hours for their employees. As a result, many of them can enjoy their afternoons or a good part of their day, leaving work as early as 3pm, for example.
The Costa Brava is the place to be if you want to enjoy the gentle inland scenery, sumptuous beaches, quality gastronomy at lower prices than in France, a rich historical heritage and a unique, independent culture. The N1 Immo France Espagne Immobilier agency offers you a wide range of properties, houses and apartments, both new and old, at very competitive prices to make your dream of a "castle in Spain" a reality.
