Its price of €399,000 reflects the distinctive nature of the property, a traditional Cortijo with extensive outdoor space, unlike the apartments or villas in new developments nearer the sea. Coastal projects often focus on direct beach access and urban amenities, whereas Guaro emphasizes tranquility, nature, and privacy. The price per square meter of living space is lower here than in many coastal projects, but the total investment is increased by the land size. For buyers seeking an authentic Andalusian lifestyle and valuing space and nature, Guaro provides a distinct alternative to the more common coastal developments.
