ALMANZORA - VILLARICOS (PROPERTY FOR SALE) BROCHURE

Spanish Property For Sale!...

Dating from Neolithic times, Villaricos was once a great Phoenician port. Forgotten by history for thousands of years, it resurfaced as a silver mining boom town in the 19th century before finally becoming the pleasant fishing village of today, with a special identity all of its own.

Every morning early, the men go out to sea to fish, farm the land, or to work in local marble quarries. Women take their children to school and chat. Life has a very traditional rhythm. Every weekend its people meet in the small, old village square where, each Sunday, a colourful market survives.

The real charm of Villaricos lies in its old-fashioned simplicity and warmth of spirit and it is this lack of pretension that catches you in the end.

Children are much loved in Villaricos and grown-ups, too, will find much to enjoy. There is a fine sandy beach with a pleasant beach bar and the village itself has six restaurants, with excellent seafood and fine meat, all cooked in the traditional Spanish style. There are also four or five bars and cafes, including an excellent late night watering hole and even a village disco. There are a handful of shops, including two mini markets.


Villaricos hosts its own fiestas, the amazing fire-cracking ‘Toro del Fuego’, the sea-going ‘Virgen del Carmen’ and the customary Easter parades. Locals enjoy ‘paseando’ along the seafront overlooking the limpid waters and take their time ‘charlando’ with relatives, friends and visitors.
