The Spanish Costas

In addition to the federal states and provinces, Spain also has a number of so-called costas. The literal translation of the word costa is “coast” and since Spain is part of the Iberian Peninsula there is plenty of coast to be found. In total, the country has 4964 km of coastline. Enough space to divide the entire coastline into different areas or Costas. Enough options to buy a house in Spain.

The east and south coast of Spain runs clockwise from France to Portugal and is interrupted by Gibraltar. In total there are 13 costas along this coastline. Below you will find a short impression of some of the most important costas in Spain.
