A key-ready two-bedroom apartment of 55 m² in the centre of Garrucha, a working fishing town on the Almería coast. The property forms part of the Urbanisation Pueblo Marino and includes a private terrace, access to a communal swimming pool and two underground parking spaces. The asking price is fixed at €160,000. Garrucha sits between Mojácar and Vera Playa and offers year-round amenities including supermarkets, shops, restaurants and a seafront promenade. The apartment was completed in 1970 and is sold as an existing home, ready for immediate use as a permanent residence, holiday home or rental property.
Within the Garrucha market, this apartment occupies the entry-level segment at €160,000 for 55 m² with two bedrooms, one bathroom and two parking spaces. That combination is not standard at this price point on the Spanish coast: in Mojácar Playa, comparable two-bedroom apartments within walking distance of amenities typically trade at higher levels, reflecting stronger tourist demand and the resort character of that town. Vera Playa offers a different proposition again, more modern developments, more space, but a more seasonal atmosphere and greater dependence on a car outside the summer months. Garrucha's distinction is its year-round function as a working fishing town with a resident community, open supermarkets and an active promenade through winter. Buyers weighing this property against new-build developments in the region should account for two differences. First, the 1970 construction date means older building systems and, potentially, higher maintenance costs over time than a newly delivered property. Second, the fixed price includes two underground parking spaces, which in new-build projects are frequently sold separately at €10,000–€20,000 per space, materially changing the like-for-like comparison. Against the broader Costa del Sol, coastal Almería remains a lower-priced market with less density of international buyers, which affects both resale liquidity and rental competition. For a buyer prioritising walkable daily life, year-round services and low acquisition cost over size and modern construction, this property presents a coherent proposition within its regional context.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment stands in Urbanisation Pueblo Marino, within walking distance of the centre of Garrucha. The town retains a functioning fishing harbour, a promenade and everyday services such as supermarkets and local shops. Mojácar and Vera Playa are both nearby, extending the range of beaches, leisure facilities and shopping along this section of the Almería coastline.
The layout is practical for a small household or visiting guests: an open-plan lounge and dining area, a separate kitchen, two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and a family bathroom with bathtub and overhead shower. A small private terrace with room for two chairs provides outdoor space. The communal pool adds a shared leisure facility without private maintenance obligations.
This is not a new-build development. The apartment was completed in 1970 and is now key-ready, meaning it can be occupied directly after purchase. No construction phase or delivery schedule applies. Buyers should assess the condition and any renovation needs of a property of this age through a technical survey as part of their due diligence.
The property measures 55 m² with two bedrooms and one bathroom, which limits space for larger households. Access is via two flights of stairs, so there is no lift. The terrace is small and fits two chairs. There is no private garden or private pool. Parking pressure in Garrucha increases in summer, although two underground spaces are included with this apartment.
This apartment fits several recognisable situations. For buyers seeking a lock-up-and-leave holiday home, the compact format, communal pool and secure underground parking reduce maintenance and security concerns during absences. For a couple or small family wanting a permanent base in Spain, the walkable location in a town with year-round services, supermarkets, medical access via the local network, shops and restaurants, removes the dependency on a car for daily life. For investors, the two-bedroom layout with fitted wardrobes and space for four occupants, combined with the summer rental demand that characterises the Almería coast, gives the property a plausible rental profile. It suits buyers prioritising location and functionality over size: the 55 m² floor area and single bathroom set clear limits for larger households or those wanting extensive private outdoor space. It is less suitable for buyers who require lift access, a private garden or a private pool. Buyers comparing new-build developments should also note the 1970 construction date and budget accordingly for maintenance or modernisation over time.
The apartment is described as well presented and maintained, with a separate kitchen fitted in a modern and bright style. The living area uses large glass sliding doors, which maximise natural light and open the interior to the terrace. Both bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, providing practical storage that supports use by family and guests. The bathroom is fitted with a bathtub, an overhead shower and a glass shower screen. The finishes observed in the available images, a twin bedroom with good natural light, a living room with balcony door and a bedroom with wardrobe and bedside furniture, are consistent with a property that has been cared for and partially modernised rather than fully renovated. As a building completed in 1970, the underlying construction, plumbing, electrical installation and window performance should be assessed through an independent technical survey before purchase. Standard Spanish purchase costs, notary fees and registry costs apply in addition to the asking price. No energy performance certificate details, structural reports or community financial records are included in the available data and should be requested during due diligence.
The asking price is fixed at €160,000 for the complete property, including the two underground parking spaces. This is an existing home completed in 1970, sold key-ready, so no staged payments or construction-linked price list applies. At 55 m² of living space with two bedrooms and one bathroom, the price positions the property in the entry-level segment of the Garrucha market. Comparable value factors include the central location within walking distance of amenities, the communal pool and the inclusion of two parking spaces, which is uncommon for apartments in this price bracket. Availability is immediate upon completion of the purchase process.
Daily life in this apartment is organised around the rhythm of a small Spanish coastal town. The property sits within the urban fabric of Garrucha, so the promenade, fishing harbour, tapas bars, cafés and supermarkets are reachable on foot. That walkability is the defining feature of the location: errands, groceries and evenings out do not require a car. The apartment itself is compact and functional. Mornings can start on the small private terrace, which fits two chairs and catches the warm climate of south-eastern Spain. The living area receives natural light through large glass sliding doors, which also give access to the terrace. The two bedrooms are sensibly arranged, one with a double bed and one with twin beds, both with fitted wardrobes, and the bathroom sits between them. The communal pool in the urbanisation provides a place to swim without the responsibilities of private pool maintenance. Two private underground parking spaces are included, which matters in July and August when holiday traffic makes street parking in Garrucha difficult. Outside the summer season the town keeps its year-round community, so restaurants and services remain open through winter, an important distinction from purely seasonal resorts along the coast.
The immediate environment is a traditional Spanish fishing town rather than a purpose-built resort. Garrucha functions year-round: the fishing harbour continues to work, the promenade remains the social heart of the town, and local shops, supermarkets and cafés serve residents through winter. This gives the location a stability that seasonal resorts lack. Urbanisation Pueblo Marino offers a communal outdoor pool and a shared outdoor area where residents sit outside. The apartment's position within the town means the beach, harbour and restaurants are within comfortable walking distance. Mojácar and Vera Playa frame the town on either side, adding further beaches, leisure facilities, shopping and entertainment within a short drive. The practical consequence is a daily life that can be lived largely on foot, with the car, parked in one of the two underground spaces, reserved for excursions and airport transfers rather than routine errands.

Approximate area · exact address shared on request
Garrucha occupies a central position on the coast between Mojácar and Vera Playa in the province of Almería. Compared with the heavily developed Costa del Sol further west, this stretch of coastline is less densely built, with lower property prices and a stronger year-round Spanish character. The town functions as a local service hub for the surrounding beaches and villages. Its location makes it a practical base for exploring the Almería coast, the Cabo de Gata natural park to the south-west and the Mojacar hillside village to the north. Within the region, the apartment represents the urban-coastal segment: central, walkable and community-based rather than resort-based.
Garrucha sits between Mojácar and Vera Playa on the Almería coast, giving the apartment access to two complementary towns within a short drive. Both offer additional beaches, leisure facilities, shopping and entertainment beyond what Garrucha itself provides. The town's own amenities, supermarkets, essential services, restaurants, tapas bars and cafés, are reachable on foot from the urbanisation. The beach and promenade are local features of the town centre. Access to the wider region is by road; the A-7 motorway along the Almería coast connects the area to Almería city and the airports at Almería and, further afield, Murcia. A car is practical for regional travel, though not required for daily life in the town itself. The two private underground parking spaces included with the property secure this mobility, which is particularly valuable in summer when visitor numbers rise sharply.
Garrucha lies at sea level on the Mediterranean coast of Almería, in one of the driest and sunniest corners of Europe. The region records around 3,000 sunshine hours per year, with very low rainfall concentrated in the cooler months. Winters are mild and summers are hot, moderated along the coast by sea breezes. The swimming season is long, typically extending from late spring into October, supported by the communal pool in the urbanisation and the town's beaches. The terrain in and around Garrucha is essentially flat along the promenade and town centre, making walking easy, although the apartment itself is reached by two flights of stairs. The semi-arid landscape of the region, with its volcanic and agricultural hinterland, defines the scenery inland of the coast. No precise micro-climate data for this exact address is included in the available datasets, so the figures above are regional characteristics of coastal Almería.

Garrucha's own seafront consists of a promenade backed by beaches and the working fishing harbour, with restaurants and tapas bars along the water. The town's beaches form part of the Almería coastline, which is known for broad, comparatively uncrowded sandy stretches. Within a short drive, Mojácar Playa and Vera Playa extend the range of swimming options, including longer beach fronts with chiringuitos and water sports in the summer season. Recreational facilities in the area include the communal pool at Pueblo Marino itself, plus walking and cycling along the flat coastal promenade. Golf is available in the wider Vera, Mojácar area, which hosts several courses within easy reach. For a town of its size, Garrucha also maintains a genuine local calendar of festivities and a fishing-port economy, meaning recreation here is woven into daily town life rather than separated into resort zones.
