This type of holiday home is becoming increasingly rare as spiraling land costs result in the development of more blocks of “go anywhere” apartments. The Playa Marques beach homes, on the other hand, are very individual, with spacious roof terraces and great views to the sea and the mountains that surround the Almanzora coast. They are intended for relaxation and are purposefully designed in a very light breezy Mediterranean maritime style. ]]> http://www.sandbpropertiesdirect.com/index.php?action=listingview&listingID=126 MTI2LTIwMTItMDItMTYgMjE6Mzc6NTA= Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:04:47 +0100 The cottages are based on the precise shapes of the old individual field houses, the traditional ?casas del campo?of The Almanzora Valley. There was a tremendous growth of these in the 19th century countryside to house the enormous increase field workers, working to feed the new mining communities. Sadly, many of these homes have now disappeared back into rubble and soil from which they were built, but if you look carefully you can see their ruins everywhere in the local landscape. They started with a simple rectangular construction, with thick walls, buttressed corners and a flat roof. As the family grew, a mono-pitch roofed bedroom was added above, where it was cooler, and, if the money continued to come in, then another room was added above, with a roof ?a cuatro aguas?. Our modern field houses are of course built with all mod cons, with large terraces and pergolas in their own private gardens, but in clusters sharing beautiful individually landscaped gardens and swimming pools in semi-closed communities, with all the cost benefits implied. They are very tranquil and private. The rustic style is carried inside with natural ?rollizo? beams and solid natural wood features, a cottage fireplace, traditional style joinery, terracotta floors and traditional tiling.

Their design faithfully reflects that of the larger country cortijos and haciendas of the Almanzora and Spanish Levante region. These were built to defend against the heat of summer, but sadly there are few originals left here now and the style has become better known as being Spanish Colonial, as in the Mexico of the Spanish era, where they performed a similar role of keeping the summer heat at bay. All have a gated front court, a walled off garden, immediately overlooking the desert golf course with spectacular views and a private swimming pool. They have extensive and cool colonnaded verandas, with large family and private roof terraces. Suffice it to say that the joinery, fittings, tiling and finishing throughout are of the best and most luxurious quality, with air conditioning, fully fitted kitchens, bathrooms, wardrobes, cloakrooms etc. Each property has a single garage or large underground parking area, with an option to extend to create a massive cool underground area for bodegas and games rooms.

Only recently we have seen the addition of many new motorways, planned rail routes and the new international airport in Corvera planned to open in 2008.

If travelling by car there are excellent road links to Alicante. And with the opening of the high speed AVE train link in the near future it will be possible to reach Madrid in only 2 hours.

The Costa del Sol/Malaga region The remarkable climate of the Costa Del Sol offers an average of 320 days of sunshine a year, and as a result, the Costa Del Sol has over the years become a favourite holiday destination for many people from all over Europe, but despite the coast's huge popularity, the coastal area between Estepona and Gibraltar are still relatively unspoilt, with access to safe sandy beaches. It is still possible to escape the large crowds that flock to the popular beaches further east, even in high season of July and August. The attractions of the 'Costa' are many and varied, from the historical villages of Casares, Castellar and Ronda, to the many new and established golf courses that are situated within easy reach. Although the Apartment itself is situated within a quiet and peaceful complex, the livelier resorts of Puerto Banus, Marbella, Estepona and Duquesa, are all within easy reach by car or taxi. The cosmopolitan town of Marbella is only 20 minutes away with its huge variety of restaurants, bars and shops. Closer still is the quieter town of Estepona, with its attractive enclosed port area, perfect for a stroll admiring the many yachts and luxury cruisers. Enjoy a casual lunch or a drink accompanied by tapas at one of the many restaurants and bars. For those who prefer to experience the historical side of the Costas, the ancient village of Castellar de la Frontera is well worth a visit, as is the magnificently positioned town of Ronda which is to be found to the north of Puerto Banus.

Getting there As well as geographical location Tambaba Country Club Resort was selected for its transport infrastructure and direct communication links to both residents and national/international tourists alike. Located on the main coastal road 15 minutes south of the state capital of Joao Pessoa, Tambaba Country Club Resort directly benefits from being 10 minutes from the new expanded BR-101 dual carriageway. This high speed road runs from the Recife International Airport through Joao Pessoa and on to Natal International Airport. The new BR-101 is a high speed road link connecting three state capital cities. Driving time from Tambaba Country Club Resort is: # 20 miles to Joao Pessoa International Airport # 77 miles to Recife International Airport # 120 miles to Natal International Airport # Access for local Brazilians from the neighbouring States of Pernambuco and Rio Grande Do Norte, as well as the rest of Paraiba, is excellent. The location, along with new road connections already in place, makes three cities commutable for residents of this resort. Joao Pessoa International Airport is the closest airport to Tambaba Country Club Resort. Receiving daily flights from Rio De Janeiro, and multiple flights weekly from other major Brazilian cities such as Sao Paulo, Fortaleza, Natal, Brasilia, etc it is already well served as an internal flight destination for Brazilian Tourism. Recently expanded and internationally certified, Joao Pessoa International Airport also starts receiving International flights from The Netherlands in April 2010 via Arkefly (Tui Group), as well as exploring agreements with other international carriers from Europe and other Latin American cities. Considering the government initiatives to significantly expand direct international tourism (Embratur) to Joao Pessoa, Joao Pessoa is set to become one of the most popular international destinations in the north east of Brazil. Location Set within the coastal hills of Pitambui, and 20 minutes from the state capital of Paraiba - Joao Pessoa, Tambaba Country Club Resort is one of the leading luxury resort projects within the north east region of Brazil. For international visitors the international airport of Joao Pessoa (recently expanded) is 15 minutes from the resort and the airport of Recife is 45 minutes away. Joao Pessoa Airport is now receiving direct international flights from Amsterdam, following their recent International Expansion Programme. With the flight times from Europe within 7 hours and from North America less than 5 hours, Brazil’s north east coast is now easily accessible for all international tourists and the international tourism flying direct into Brazil will only further fuel the areas growth. Tambaba Country Club benefits from being strategically positioned directly between two host cities for the 2014 Football World Cup (Natal and Recife). It also will directly benefit from the high speed road infrastructure currently underway, resulting in the highway expansion programmes connecting both Recife and Natal with Joao Pessoa city and reducing the time from Natal and Recife International airports by over 30%. With four of Brazil’s top beaches less than 5 minutes away, the beautiful and historic city of Joao Pessoa 20 minutes, the Oscar Niemeyer Arts Centre 15 minutes and the 2500 person International Convention Centre (currently under construction) less than 10 minutes from the resort there is much to see and do outside of Tambaba Country Club. The location basks in tropical sunshine and warm temperatures all year round, yet suffers no risk of hurricanes, monsoons or other seasonal challenges unlike other international destinations. This means it is a year round destination for sun seekers, as well as a booming local economy for residents. ]]> http://www.sandbpropertiesdirect.com/index.php?action=listingview&listingID=4880 NDg4MC0yMDEyLTAxLTA4IDE5OjMyOjA4 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:04:47 +0100 Peraleja Golf is a new and unique resort situated in the Mediterranean.
