Situated in Northern Spain on the Cantabria coastline approximately 8 miles west of Bilbao is the medieval seaport of Castro Urdiales. Dominated by its magnificent castle of the Knights Templar, which is built on a rock overlooking the fishing harbour, Castro Urdiales offers tourists and prospective Spanish property buyers a taste of traditional Spain in a medieval setting.
Declared an historic site of national importance in 1978, Castro Urdiales's town centre is where its ancient heart lies. Three and four-story medieval buildings, with their characteristic wooden balconies and beautiful arches rise up above narrow streets, while on the outskirts of the town, many of the more modern buildings attempt to replicate this theme.
Understandably, Castro Urdiales is very popular with tourists who come to marvel at the medieval architecture, as well as the many other historic buildings in the town - the wonderful castle lighthouse being another notable tourist attraction. Adding to the town's popularity, Castro Urdiales also has three excellent sandy beaches to its name further along the coastline.
Whether you are looking for a holiday home, a retirement villa in Spain by the sea or an income property, Spanish property in Castro Urdiales will cater for your needs. Along the seafront overlooking the beaches, Castro Urdiales property includes flats and apartments, as well as villas and chalets. Towards the centre of town, Castro Urdiales property buyers may be fortunate enough to find more traditional buildings for sale.
