Country Properties for sale in Dolores, Inland Costa Blanca
Properties in Dolores tend to be larger country houses, villas and fincas – and prices in inland Costa Blanca are an attractive proposition when compared to the cost of an apartment in a popular coastal resort. Dolores offers the opportunity to embrace a laid back, genuinely Spanish way of life, in the heart of the Comarca de la Vega Baja in Alicante region. For accessibility it’s perfect – it is a little way off the main N7 motorway, offering easy access to either Alicante or Murcia airports. Dolores was founded in 1715 and now has a population of around 11,000 – a few British and other European people have chosen to settle here, but the population is predominantly Spanish – and this pretty town has a genuine community feel. Only 15 minutes’ drive from the lovely beaches at La Marina and Guardamar, Dolores has a good selection of shops and restaurants, and a medical centre. Much of the local economy is agricultural, with fruit and vegetable grown in the region being exported worldwide. This benefits the gastronomy of the region which makes optimum use of the fresh produce available – olives, oranges, lemons, artichokes, beans, peppers, grapes and herbs are all local crops which can be found at the Friday market. Once a year, the whole of Dolores grinds to a halt for the August Fair or Feria de Agosto – with lots of fun to be had by all. The surrounding countryside is very beautiful, with two National Parks nearby – one of which, the Parque Natural Lagunas (the salt lakes at Torrevieja) has earned this region recognition as one of the healthiest places to live in the world. Even closer is Parque Natural el Fondo, which is home to many rare birds and is designated an area of outstanding conservational importance. There is a lot to be discovered around Dolores – not least of which is a welcoming community and a slower paced style of living.
