British property-seekers scouring Iberia for a patch of unspoiled land could soon be flocking to the Costa Azahar, it has been claimed.

The Mirror newspaper has boosted the region – also known as Castellon – by hailing its beautiful landscape and its retention of authentic Spanish lifestyle.

Setting the region aside from others which have experienced a large influx of British and other overseas property buyers, the Mirror claimed that the Costa Azahar still had an authentic Spanish feel, with only 1,000 British ex-pats so far uncovering the gem.

Shawn Luetchens, managing director of HotProperty.co.uk, told the newspaper: “British buyers have always looked to Spain for holiday homes. However now many people are looking for properties off the beaten track.”

Few regions are further off the tourist trail than the Costa Azahar, which is located between Catalonia and Valencia, in reach of big cities like Barcelona but far enough way to retain considerable rural calm.

Backing from the Mirror and other corners could soon see the region receive an investment boost from tourists and property seekers, with Castellon also expecting to raise its accessibility through a soon-to-be complete airport complex.
