This three-bedroom apartment is located on Calle Nueva in the centre of Garrucha, a coastal town in the province of Almería. The property offers approximately 100 m² of living space and is within 300 metres of the beach, the Malecón promenade and Calle Mayor. The dwelling occupies the first and top floor of a small two-storey building, reached by a private staircase from street level. The asking price is €180,000 as a fixed amount. The apartment is sold fully furnished and is key-ready, meaning it can be occupied or prepared for rental immediately after purchase.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The apartment sits on Calle Nueva in the town centre of Garrucha, roughly 300 metres from the beach and the seafront promenade. Shops, restaurants and daily amenities on and around Calle Mayor are within walking distance. The location is urban and compact, which means most errands can be done on foot rather than by car.
The home offers three bedrooms, a bathroom with shower, a living-dining room, a fully equipped kitchen and an enclosed south-facing terrace used as additional living space. A small open gallery off the terrace serves as a laundry area. Cross ventilation is possible thanks to the east-west orientation and exterior windows throughout.
This is not a new-build project. The apartment is an existing home in a two-storey building, completed in 1970 according to project records, and is currently key-ready. There is no construction phase or delivery schedule to consider; the transfer can proceed through the standard resale purchase process once a buyer is found.
The property has one bathroom only and no private parking space, swimming pool, garden or communal facilities are included. There is no lift in the building; access is via a private staircase. No community fees currently apply, though this reflects the absence of shared services rather than a managed urbanisation.
This property fits several recognisable situations. A buyer seeking a modestly priced, fully furnished home within walking distance of the sea, for permanent residence on the Almería coast, will find the three bedrooms and central location practical. The furnished condition also suits buyers who want a holiday base that can be used immediately, without the delay and cost of furnishing. The same characteristics are relevant for rental use: a three-bedroom apartment near the promenade in an established town is a standard rental product, and the absence of community fees keeps running costs low. Investors should nonetheless verify local rental demand and seasonality independently. The apartment is less suitable for buyers who require a lift, private parking, a swimming pool or a second bathroom. The single bathroom serves three bedrooms, which is workable for a family or visiting guests but may feel limited for full-time shared use. Likewise, buyers looking for a modern new-build with contemporary insulation standards should note the building dates from 1970, with the finishes visible in the listing photographs reflecting updates of varying age. In short, the property matches buyers prioritising location, space and price over resort-style amenities.
The building was completed in 1970, which places it in an era of straightforward masonry construction typical of Spanish coastal towns of that period. The apartment occupies the full first floor of this two-storey building, with private staircase access from street level. Windows are aluminium frames fitted with mosquito nets, a practical detail for a coastal location close to the beach. The interior photographs show a kitchen with granite worktops and fully fitted units described as being in good condition, tiled floors throughout, and built-in wooden wardrobes in the bedrooms. The bathroom is equipped with a shower. The property is sold fully furnished, so appliances and furniture visible in the listing are included in the sale, which reduces the initial outlay for buyers intending to occupy or rent it out. The enclosed terrace is a functional extension of the living space, glazed and south-facing, usable year-round. The small adjoining open gallery serves as a laundry area with exterior ventilation. Buyers should note that no specific data on insulation values, heating system or hot water installation is provided in the source material, and these points warrant verification during a viewing. Mains water and mains electricity are connected. The overall picture is that of a well-maintained, periodically updated apartment rather than a recently renovated one, consistent with its age and price point.
The asking price is €180,000, a fixed amount for this existing home rather than a starting price from a price list. For this budget the buyer receives roughly 100 m² of living space, three bedrooms, a furnished interior and a central location 300 metres from the beach. No community fees currently apply; the annual refuse charge is €205.60 per year, which is payable to the municipality. As a resale property, availability is immediate upon completion of the standard purchase process. Buyers should budget separately for purchase costs such as transfer tax, notary and registry fees, which are not included in the asking price.
Daily life in this apartment revolves around the town rather than a resort setting. The front door opens onto Calle Nueva, a central street in Garrucha, from which the beach, the Malecón promenade and the main shopping street are all a short walk away. Morning sun reaches the east-facing master bedroom, while the two west-facing double bedrooms receive afternoon light, a layout that spreads natural light across the day and allows cross ventilation when windows on both sides are open. The enclosed south-facing terrace functions as an extra room: a place for meals, reading or simply sitting outside without exposure to wind or street noise. The adjoining open gallery is a practical spot for drying laundry. The living-dining room and separate kitchen provide the standard circulation for a home of this size, around 100 m², which is generous for a three-bedroom apartment in this price segment. Because the property occupies the first and top floor of a two-storey building with private staircase access, there is no shared lobby or communal corridor. The trade-off is that the stairs must be climbed daily and no lift is available. With the beach and promenade 300 metres away, evening walks along the seafront and morning visits to local shops fit naturally into the daily routine. A car is not strictly necessary for day-to-day living, although it remains useful for exploring the wider Almería coast.
Garrucha is a working fishing town on the Almería coast, and the surroundings of Calle Nueva reflect that character: a compact town centre with shops, tapas bars, restaurants and weekly commerce within a few hundred metres. The beach and the Malecón promenade are approximately 300 metres from the apartment, and the data lists both the beach and the shops as roughly one minute by car, confirming the walkable scale of the immediate area. For daily needs, this means groceries, pharmacies, banks and medical services are reachable on foot, which is a defining feature of this location compared with developments on the edge of town. The promenade functions as the social artery of Garrucha, used for walks, exercise and evening strolls throughout the year. The town remains active outside the summer season, as it is a permanent residential community rather than a seasonal resort. Public transport options in Garrucha itself are limited, so a car is useful for trips to larger towns such as Mojácar, Vera or the city of Almería, though within the town itself most destinations are walkable. Parking in the town centre is on-street and, as with most Spanish town centres, can require some patience in the summer months.
The map shows the position of Calle Nueva in the centre of Garrucha, with the beach, the Malecón promenade and Calle Mayor all within roughly 300 metres. The town sits directly on the Mediterranean coast of Almería, between Mojácar and Vera.

Garrucha occupies a coastal position in the east of Almería province, between the tourist town of Mojácar and the beach area of Vera Playa. It is one of the few towns on this stretch of coast that has remained primarily Spanish and working, centred on its fishing fleet and seafront commerce, in contrast to the more internationally oriented resort developments nearby. Within the region, the town functions as a service hub for the surrounding municipalities. For buyers, this means the location offers an authentic year-round town rather than a seasonal urbanisation, with the corresponding advantage of permanent shops and services and the corresponding reality of ordinary town-centre street life.
The beach is approximately 300 metres from the apartment, and the promenade starts at the same distance. Shops are listed at about one minute by car, underlining that the location is fully urban. The two nearest larger towns are Mojácar and Vera, both a short drive along the coast, while the city of Almería and its airport lie further west along the A-7 motorway; buyers should consult current travel times for precise figures, as no airport distance is given in the source data. Public transport within Garrucha is limited to regional bus services; there is no rail connection. A car is therefore recommended for regional mobility, although the immediate daily routine around Calle Nueva, the beach and Calle Mayor can be completed entirely on foot. Access by car to the A-7 and the coastal road network is straightforward, placing the beaches of Vera Playa and Mojácar beach within easy reach for day trips.
Garrucha lies at sea level on the Mediterranean coast of Almería, one of the driest and sunniest provinces in mainland Spain. The flat coastal position means the apartment and its terrace are usable for most of the year, with the enclosed south-facing terrace extending outdoor comfort into the cooler and windier months. The Almería coast records low annual rainfall and high sunshine hours, characteristics that favour year-round residence and an extended season for terrace living and beach visits. The proximity of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park further along the coast adds a dimension of semi-desert landscapes and protected coves for excursions. Locally, the terrain around Garrucha is essentially flat, so walking to the promenade and town centre involves no significant slopes, a practical point for older residents. Afternoon and evening sea breezes, combined with the apartment's cross ventilation, moderate the need for air conditioning during hot spells, though aluminium glazing of this type offers limited thermal insulation compared with modern standards.

The beach nearest the apartment lies roughly 300 metres away, directly accessible via the streets of the town centre, and the Malecón promenade runs alongside it. Garrucha's beaches are town beaches backed by the seafront walk, with restaurants and facilities close at hand rather than remote natural coves. For wider sandy stretches, the beaches of Vera Playa and Mojácar lie a short drive along the coast, as do the quieter coves towards the Cabo de Gata nature reserve. Recreation in Garrucha itself centres on the seafront: walking, swimming and the town's fishing port, where the daily fish auction supplies the local restaurants. There are no golf courses in the immediate town, but the region around Mojácar and Cuevas del Almanzora includes several courses within driving distance. Sports facilities in town are limited to municipal amenities; no gym, pool or tennis complex is associated with this property. The recreational appeal of the location rests primarily on the combination of beach, promenade and the dining scene of a traditional fishing town.

Within the eastern Almería coast, Garrucha occupies a distinct position among the residential options available to international buyers. Neighbouring Mojácar Playa is dominated by apartment complexes and urbanisations aimed largely at foreign second-home owners, typically with communal pools, community fees and a pronounced seasonal rhythm. Vera Playa offers modern low-rise developments near extensive sandy beaches, again largely resort-oriented. Garrucha differs in that it is a functioning Spanish fishing town: the property on Calle Nueva stands in a street grid of ordinary town houses and small apartment buildings, with the fishing port, the market and the promenade as the anchors of local life. This difference has direct consequences for buyers. In the resort areas, a comparable three-bedroom apartment would usually come with monthly community fees covering pools, gardens and maintenance, whereas this property currently carries none, because the building has no shared facilities. Conversely, buyers moving from a resort urbanisation will find no communal pool or landscaped grounds here, and parking is on-street. In price terms, the fixed €180,000 asking price for roughly 100 m² with three bedrooms places this property at the accessible end of the coastal market. Similar-sized new-build apartments in Mojácar or Vera Playa generally trade above this level, though they offer modern construction standards and communal amenities in return. The essential trade-off in this regional comparison is therefore between resort infrastructure and authentic town-centre living: Garrucha offers year-round services, walkability and a Spanish town atmosphere, while the neighbouring resort zones offer amenity-based convenience and a more international environment.
