Property in Costa Blanca, Catral
Catral
this is a medium-sized town close to Elche's municipal district; its
inhabitants are mainly involved in farming, though the footwear
industry is increasingly important. Its name was originally a
Moorish place name 'Al-Quatrullat' given to an irrigation channel
leading to Orihuela which passed close to the location of the town.
Its mild climate and fertile land (with fluvial deposits) ensured
its agricultural prosperity, though its real wealth began when
Cardinal Belluga drained the marshes at the beginning of the 18th
century and the village obtained its independence from Orihuela -
1741.
The
town's district borders on the Hondo Reservoir, which can be hiked
to via the numerous rural trails throughout the area. Catral has of
late, the last 5 years, proven a very popular area with people from
all over Northern Europe who have purchased properties in Catral for
their holiday, retirement and permanent home residences. Property
prices have risen quite dramatically also with sheer infrastructure
being improved in all directions with the influx of newcomers.
Broken English is now commonly spoken in most retail outlets, we are
not saying that fluent conversations can be had by all but "get
you by" keywords are commonly available.
Why
have so many people chosen to purchase property in the areas of
Catral, this is quite easily explained in our opinion here we have a
quaint traditional Spanish rural town in the shadow of a beautiful
mountain range only 30-40 minutes from the areas green flag beaches.
Add to this the very reasonable property prices and choice of off
plan designs with huge availability of land, usually each new
property built is on a plot of 10,000 square metres, making for a
choice of uses of each persons home. Some opt for large pools,
treble garages, expensive landscapes others keep a large piece of
land as it has always been, mainly cropped with almonds, olives,
oranges, lemons, grapes, palms which is a great pastime if the mood
takes you.
