    LONDON, ENGLAND, October 22, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- TheMoveChannel.com, the leading international property portal, announces new property bargains in the Murcia region of Spain:

- 4 bedroom house ( 132,960, 3 bathrooms, garage, 700m from the beach)
- 2/3 bed apartment ( 112,660, 2 bathrooms, very spacious)

Properties in Spain may not be an investment opportunity UK investors have considered in the past, so TheMoveChannel.com provides an overview of Murcia and its culture.

Location

Murcia is set at the river Segura in the southeastern part of Spain, surrounded by Sierra de Orihuela and Cresta de Gallo mountains.

Getting There

The local airport, Murcia (San Javier) has recently been opened up to commercial flights and there are now a number of low cost airlines flying to the region.

There is also a new international airport under construction 10 minutes outside of Murcia City and planning in the pipeline for a fast rail line to provide quick links to Madrid and Barcelona.

Weather

The weather in Murcia is fantastic, with sunshine nearly all year round and temperatures rarely falling below 30°C. The winters are generally mild with the occasional frost a rarity and snow restricted to the mountain tops.

With irrigation provided by the rivers Segura, Murdo and Sangonera, the area offers ideal conditions for the growing of citrus fruits. The region exports vast quantities of oranges and lemons, much of which go to the German market.

Lifestyle

Murcia has a youthful vibe about it, which is mainly due to it being a University city housing a large number of local and international students.

There are a number of restaurants and lively bars in the vicinity of the University. Murcia has a reputation of coming alive at night with many Spanish families dining out and numerous revellers partying in a selection of discotheques and clubs.

Murcia Property

Murcia property is still more affordable than the rest of the property in Spain . Known as the Cinderella Coast, partly due to being initially overlooked by many investors, the area is now waking up to interest from investors and developers alike.

The main international real estate activity is from Brits who are attracted to the lifestyle and prices in Murcia, which on average are around 16 per cent cheaper than elsewhere in the country, with the larger properties nearly 30 per cent cheaper, according to Kyero.com, the Spanish House Price Index.

Dan Johnson, Managing Director, comments:
"With sunshine for more than 300 days of the year and fabulous beaches, it's no wonder that Murcia has become such a hot favourite in Spain."
