Why Swedes love Playa San Juan

  • The combination of city and beach: You live on one of Spain's best beaches but have Alicante's city buzz 15 minutes away by tram.
  • Modernity: PAU 5 offers the type of ultra-modern apartment complexes that many Swedes are looking for.
  • Activities: Golf, surfing, beach volleyball and enormous parks make it perfect for active lifestyles.
  • Transport: The tram (TRAM) means you absolutely don't need a car to live here.

🤔Who is it NOT suitable for?

  • Those seeking "old-fashioned Spanish charm" (high-rises and wide avenues dominate here).
  • Budget buyers (prices are among the highest on the mainland).
  • Those wanting to live in complete isolation (it is a densely built-up area).
