If you want to live in real Spain, then you need to climb into the hinterland ” behind the sun-drenched southern coastline and into the mountains, where you find the typical hillside white villages (pueblos blancos) and larger towns, in which life goes on regardless of the seasons and tourism. That’s Ronda!

Established property markets are unlikely to experience too much competition from emerging hotspots across the globe, according to experts. While up-and-coming destinations such as those in eastern Europe and even further afield such as in Brazil and South Africa have enjoyed increasing interest from potential investors, traditional favourites remain highly appealing.

Ronda lies 60km up a winding mountain road from Marbella in the mountain range known as the Serranía de Ronda.Every day cars drive up from the Costa Del Sol to visit what is one of Andalucia’s top tourist destinations.

Spain has much to offer the weather weary residents of its northern European neighbours. It’s little wonder over the past 20 years or more, increasing numbers of people have been selling up and moving to a land free of smog, to a land where black ice and fog and days of endless rain are unheard of.

Ronda is a city in the Spanish province of Málaga. It is located about 100 km from the city of Málaga, within the autonomous community of Andalucía. Its population is 35,512. It is also accessible by rail from Algeciras and from Córdoba.

If you are interested in purchasing a property abroad there are usually three options for financing. The first and easiest is to pay cash. Many people either don’t have the cash in hand to do this, or prefer to spread the payments out over a longer period of time with a mortgage. If going this route, you can get a mortgage in your home country based on the equity in your current home or property. An increasing number of foreign purchasers, though, are financing with a mortgage in the country of their purchase.
