Costa Verde property
for sale
The Costa Verde (The Green Coast),
stretches from the Costa Cantabrica until the Portuguese
border on the banks of the river Miño. The Costa Verde gets
its name from it's climate as it receives more rainfall than
other areas in Spain, with sunshine not guaranteed even
during summer months so is not as popular with tourists as
are the Mediterranean costas.
The north
west corner of Spain is known as Galicia and here can be found
a rich cultural diversity with important ancient Celtic ties.
Withou forgetting to mention as well this area is famous for
its excellent seafood and wines. The capital of this area is
Santiago de Compostela which is also known for its cathedral
which is, with Rome and Jerusalem, considered to be a milestone
of Christianity and, one of the most famous cathedrals
worldwide.
This area is the "real spain" with few
foreigners living here. Very akin to Scotland of Ireland
with its green landscape and Celtic
background.
