Huercal-Overa

An important working town in the province of Almeria, Huercal-Overa is half an hour from the coast and surrounded by a fascinating landscape of both desert and lush green forests.

A vibrant Spanish atmosphere and unbeatable amenities make this is just the place for anyone in search of a reasonably priced property in a thriving community.

To walk the streets of Huercal-Overa is like stepping back in time; this old town was an important trading post for Romans, Moors and countless traders who have all shaped the town over millennia. Today its geographical situation on the route between Murcia and Almeria means it remains an important commercial centre with excellent amenities. For anyone looking to settle here, the architectural beauty and buzzing cultural life make it an even more attractive proposition.

At the centre are the features people look for in historic Spanish towns: narrow streets, traditional plazas and beautifully rendered public spaces. The surrounding area is also fascinating for its diversity. Walk out into the countryside and where once you would have found desert landscape, new pine plantations together with almond, eucalyptus and oak trees are transforming the area into a lush oasis. And that’s before you’ve even got near the coast – it’s a short easy drive to reach one of Andalucia’s best beaches: San Juan de Los Terreros.
