One of the challenges of buying a property abroad is visiting in order to choose.
Buying direct can be a good move if you’re experienced and have good knowledge of an area, but otherwise a visit is always advisable.
It’s often a big ask to visit a new country, rent a car, sort out your hotels, grapple with directions and coordinate with a local agent, all in what could just be a long weekend.
Yet do this you must in order to view enough properties in a limited amount of time to make an informed decision. That’s where an AV Trip can be invaluable.
You're in safe hands with Altavista: We're proud to have helped many delighted clients with their property purchases on the Costa del Sol. Read about their experiences in their own words here.

The eastern Costa del Sol is where it all started! Looking down from the sweeping A7 coastal road as you drive west from Malaga airport, the sheer scale of these resorts is still breathtaking. Over the decades, this part of the Costa del Sol has become a fully serviced playgroup for holidaying families and local resident alike, with all the amenities you could ever imagine: World-class shopping, theme parks, a zoo, a golf course, a signature cable car rising up into the fantastic mountain backdrop, numerous golf courses...
Go west past Marbella and the breeze becomes slightly cooler, the sea just a little fresher, the tourists less numerous. The rugged mountains finally give way to historic Gibraltar, rising up as if to guard the narrow straits that separate the Mediterranean from the Atlantic, Europe from Africa. Down here is the important fishing town of Estepona – the last real outpost before Cadiz province – as well as modern, exclusive Sotogrande, mountain-top Casares and sleepy Manilva. There’s great golf (the Volvo Masters happens in Casares) and many keenly priced properties to boot.
