Costa Almeria, Spain, Jean Johansson

Jean Johansson is house hunting around Costa Almeria in Spain with Andy, who is a fireman, and Elina, who works in the water industry. They both have busy lives and can’t wait to buy their own holiday home that they can escape to for relaxing getaways with their family. The couple have a budget of £85,000, and Jean has 5 fantastic properties up her sleeve, but will any match up to their dreams, or will they just find them watered down?

About the area

Sat on Spain’s south-eastern shore in the Andalucía province, the sunny Costa de Almeria can be reached in around two and a half hours from the UK by plane. Boasting almost ten miles of white sandy beaches, looking out over the sun-kissed Mediterranean Sea, it’s the driest corner of Europe–getting just over a tenth of the rainfall we get at home. Steeped in tradition, Spanish styles merge with North African influences, rooted in the strong Moorish history. But today modern elements make it a popular holiday resort, with over two and a half million visitors in a single year, keen to make this hot spot their home from home.

Hot Property

Five Bedroom Villa in Agua Amarga

This unique property is actually made up of four separate residences, with a total of five bedrooms and four bathrooms.
