Costa de la Luz, Spain, Leah Charles-King

Leah Charles-King is coming to the help of best pals Helen and Nikki who have known each other for 40 years. Sharing a passion for horses they have decided to take a step further in their friendship and buy a holiday home together where they can go riding and soak up the Andalusian culture all year round. Leah has 5 great properties for their budget of £150,000 – but will any of them hit the spot?

About the area

The Costa de La Luz, which translated means the coast of light, is in the south west of Spain and is best known for its more than 120 miles of often windswept Atlantic coastline – but the area is also home to a number of historic towns and some beautiful countryside. It’s not the most famous of Spain’s Costas for holidaymakers at least – but it’s becoming increasingly popular with buyers looking to relocate from Spain’s major cities.
