- ✓Peaceful and serene living environment: Unlike coastal areas, Las Ramblas is a quiet urbanisation without through traffic, tourism or rowdy nightlife. Ideal for those seeking relaxation.
- ✓Good value compared to coastal areas: You get significantly more property for your money here compared to beachfront areas like La Zenia or Cabo Roig, at the same distance to the beach (5-6 km).
- ✓Strong Scandinavian community: With about 200 Swedes and many more Scandinavians in nearby Villamartín and Campoamor, there is an active social network with golf associations, dinners and outings.
🤔Who is it NOT suitable for?
- •Non-golfers wanting a beach lifestyle: If golf doesn't interest you, Las Ramblas loses its main attraction. The beach is 5 km away and the area doesn't offer much beyond golf.

- •Those without a car: The area has extremely limited public transport. Without a car you are effectively isolated from amenities, beach and social life.
