Compared to projects directly on the Costa Blanca coastline, such as EDIFICIO SUN & CENTER in Torrevieja (from €169,000), this Finca - Cortijo in Dolores offers a significantly larger plot and more privacy for a comparable or higher starting price (€335,000). Projects like VILLA ROMA 15 in Finestrat, with prices starting from €4,450,000, belong to a completely different segment, focusing on luxury villas with sea views. PROJECT LOLA in Formentera del Segura (from €399,000) appears more similar in price range and location, as both projects are situated inland and offer rural living, albeit with a higher starting point for Lola.
