As yet undiscovered by mass tourism, the lush fertile province of Extremadura in
Western Spain is a great place in which to find Spanish property bargains off the
beaten path. It is a land-locked province with mountains to its North, East and South,
and the Portuguese border to its West. Despite this, Extremadura is a land of water,
with countless streams and rivers pouring off the lakes and reservoirs that are situated
in the mountains.
The climate in Extremadura is more extreme than that found around the coasts.
Summers are hot, the temperature regularly climbing to above 35°c, and winters are
cold. It is not unusual for a mid-winter night to leave a touch of ground frost in the
region. Rainfall is also quite plentiful throughout the year.
Extremadura offers an insight into Spanish tradition and culture. The local people are
proud guardians of their way of life, wearing typical Spanish clothing and keeping
alive their long-observed customs. A rich variety of Spanish cuisine can be found in
the area, as well as high quality local wines, some of which are well known to
Northern Europeans.
Extremadura property is inexpensive when compared to similar properties along the
Costas. A three-bedroomed townhouse can be purchased for under €50,000 euros in
some areas, whilst a four-bedroomed villa in Spain with large grounds will cost as
little as €200,000 euros. Extremadura property for sale also includes many ruins and
derelict fincas - ideal if you are looking to build your own dream Spanish property.
