Year purchased: 2006
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
The concept of El Toyo was born when Almeria won the rights to house the Mediterranean games for 2005. Provincial and local governments decided to develop an area on the edge of the renown Cabo de Gata Natural Park into an 'up market' tourist area. It is still under development as the project was enormous but plans are to make it a tourist attraction for the more discerning traveller. Initially it was used as the 'Olympic Village' for the 2005 games and then as a residential/holiday resort. Almeria has long been a holiday resort for the Spanish people so if you prefer to be in 'Spain' rather than 'Spanish England' then this is the place to visit. I get to practice Spanish with the locals and they to speak English with me. This is why I decided to buy my place there.
Unique benefits of the property
El Toyo is only 5 km from the airport and 13 km from the City centre. The apartments are within easy walking distance (300/400 mtrs) from the beach. The paseo is a peaceful, pleasant walk to the local bars and restaurants. There are 5, 4* hotels within a few minutes walk, these give us a 20% discount on their spa, massage and gym facilities. In addition to our own communal pools you can use those at the hotels. The local bus goes into Almeria City. Life here is very relaxing and all of our visitors have been very impressed with both the area and our properties and some have returned for 2 and 3 years running. We are next to the Alboran Golf course where discounted green fees can be arranged. Our apartments have European satellite TV & Spanish digital TV showing some programmes in English.
