Alcossebre
and its neighbour, Las Fuentas (the fountain), are tranquil
villages, nestling amongst the orange and almond groves of
the Costa Del Azahar (known as The Orange Blossom Coast).
Although
a relatively unknown area it is easily accessible from the
airports of Reus (50 minutes drive) or Valencia (1 hour drive),
or a two hour drive from Barcelona. As it is in a conservation
area it has missed all the high rise development of the neighbouring
costas.
The marina
at Las Fuentas is the dividing line between the two villages.
You will find lots of water based activities in Las Fuentas.
The countryside surrounding Alcossebre is ideal for walking,
bird watching etc. |
The villages
are situated at the foot of Marcolina, and the views from the top
of are absolutely breathtaking.
The whole area
is a delightful mixture of ancient and modern, mountains and countryside,
beaches and small coves. All the beaches in the local area are EEC
approved. The beaches are gently shelving and even in the height
of summer are very rarely crowded.
The two villages
have a very good choice of restaurants, tapas bars and bistros,
all within walking distances. Many of these boast splendid views
over the sea.
You
will find that although Alcossebre is a quiet village, it
has all the shops that you should need. There is a pharmacy,
a doctor, small supermarkets, greengrocers, bakery, electrical
shops etc. For those of you who want nightlife, this can be
found, but the nightlife here would not suit those looking
for 'wild nights'.
Alcossebre
is still a traditional village, and is very Spanish - just
a few miles inland from here you can find lots of tucked away
villages that have hardly changed in centuries. |

One really
good thing is that due to the Government status of the area, it
can never get over-developed, and will always therefore remain the
lovely, quiet, select area that it is now. During July and August
the area becomes a holiday destination for some of the Spanish people
living inland - but even so it still remains quieter than most other
areas. In fact as the Spanish choose to come here, for their holidays,
then it must be good!
Some consider
that there has never been a better time to buy - The area is becoming
better known, but can never become too busy or overcrowded so prices
are rising here.
