If you choose to buy property in Costa del Azahar, you will find Alcossebre and its neighbour, Las Fuentes (the fountain), are beautiful tranquil villages, nestling amongst the orange and almond groves of the Costa Del Azahar (known as The Orange Blossom Coast).   Over the years these two villages have really merged and almost become one town.

Although a relatively unknown area it is easily accessible from the airports of Reus (50 minutes drive) or Valencia (1 hour drive), or a two hour drive from Barcelona.  A new local airport is planned in Castellon, which will make this area much easier to travel to.  As Alcossebre and Las Fuentes are in a conservation area they have missed most of the high rise development that can be found in the neighbouring costas.

The marina at Las Fuentes is really where the dividing line between the two villages occurs. You will find lots of water based activities in Las Fuentes, whereas the countryside surrounding Alcossebre is ideal for walking, bird watching etc.  A Bowling club has opened recently, tennis, squash, golf and many other sporting activities are available either within Alcossebre or Las Fuentes or else very near by.

Due to the position of these two villages which are situated at the foot of a mountain, the views from almost every spot are great, and if you travel to the top of the mountains, then the views are absolutely breathtaking.

The whole area is a delightful mixture of ancient and modern, mountains and countryside, beaches and small coves. All the beaches in the local area are E.E.C. approved. The beaches are gently shelving and even in the height of summer are very rarely crowded.

The two villages have a very good choice of restaurants, tapas bars and bistros, all within walking distances. Many of these boast splendid views over the sea.

You will find that although Alcossebre is a quiet village, it has all the shops that you should need. There is a pharmacy, a doctor, small supermarkets, green grocers, bakery, electrical shops etc. For those of you who want nightlife, this can be found, but the nightlife here would not suit those looking for 'wild nights'.

Alcossebre is still a traditional village, and is very Spanish - just a few miles inland from Alcossebre you can find lots of tucked away villages that have hardly changed in centuries.

One thing that really benefits this area is that due to the Government status of the area, it can never get over-developed, and will always therefore remain the lovely, quiet, select area that it is now.  It is quite a popular holiday destination for the Spaniards themselves, especially during July and August  -  but even so it still remains quieter than lots of other areas within Spain.

Some consider that there has never been a better time to buy - The area is becoming better known, but can never become too busy or overcrowded so prices are rising here, and with the new airport planned, this could well prove a great investment for yor new property to buy in Spain.
