City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, Spain 1

SpainHouses.netSeptember 1, 2012September 4, 20121 Comment

Valencia is a city that ideally combines the vestiges of the past, which go back to the year 138 BC, with the impressive construction of the present. The most important modern tourist destination in the city of Valencia is the City of Arts and Sciences (Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias).

The very impressive City of Arts and Sciences is a cultural and architectural complex designed by Santiago Calatrava and Felix Candela which has become an international landmark.

Spread out over two kilometers along the bed of the former River Turia, the complex, with its striking architecture, has an endless capacity for entertaining and stimulating the minds of its visitors.

The Mediterranean blue and white, the traditional colors of sea and light, blends with the avant-garde architecture of Santiago Calatrava and Felix Candela. Their bold strokes provide a futuristic image that symbolizes the new Valencia as a modern city within the age old city.

The futuristic City of Arts and Sciences contains a number of buildings that allow visitors to immerse themselves in different aspects of art, nature, science and technology.

Highlights include: the Hemisferic (an Imax theater, planetarium and laserium built in the shape of an eye), the Umbracle (a landscaped walkway which includes plant species indigenous to Valencia and an outdoor art gallery with sculptures from contemporary artists including Yoko Ono and others), the Principe Felipe Science Museum (an interactive museum of science which resembles the skeleton of a whale), the Oceanografico (an open air oceanographic park which is the largest aquarium in Europe with over 500 marine species) and the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia (an opera house and performing arts center).

Home purchase by foreigners grew up a 15% in 2011 1

SpainHouses.netAugust 28, 2012September 3, 20121 Comment

Comunidad Valenciana stood at the forefront of home sales to foreigners in 2011

Comunidad Valenciana (Valencia, Alicante and Castellón) stood at the forefront of home sales to foreigners in 2011, accounting for the 30.6% of the national total. So, this group performed 10,730 transactions for an amount of 1,515 million Euros, according to the latest report of the Housing Observatory of the region.

The Government explained that the data from the end of 2011 "endorse the Consell bet to encourage the region home sales to European buyers", in order to increase the number of transactions over the previous year, when there were 9,300.

The total value estimated of these transactions amounted to 1.515 million Euros in 2011, an amount that also exceeds the quantity achieved in 2010, with 1,431 million Euros.

The Consell has highlighted its commitment to value the housing stock available in Valencia for foreigners in Russia, Sweden, Norway and the UK, especially new homes for second residence, located in the coastline and inland towns.

He pointed out that a secondary house purchase by foreigners in the Comunidad Valenciana is "to consider a number of advantages over other destinations, such as security, facilities, distance to markets and colonies of foreigners of various nationalities."

Finally, the same sources stressed that property investment "is a significant source of revenue for our community, and has an important impact on productive sectors such as construction, tourism, hospitality or services"

Property in Spain ‘most attractive investment it’s ever been’ 2

SpainHouses.netAugust 6, 2012March 31, 20202 Comments

Buying a property in Spain is a more attractive proposition now than it ever has been

So says Marc Pritchard, sales and marketing director of Taylor Wimpey de Espana, who stressed potential buyers should look at the merits of the market at present and "strike while the iron is hot".

Flat for sale in Marbella (Málaga)

"A favourable exchange rate between sterling and the euro combined with Spain's dip in real estate prices have meant that Spanish property is more attractive to buyers than ever before," he asserted.

Mr Pritchard also highlighted another reason to make a purchase now, rather than waiting - a potential tax increase which could come into force from next January.

He revealed value-added tax on real estate transactions, which currently stands at four per cent, may rise to ten per cent at the start of 2013.

Last month, director of international mortgage specialist Conti Clare Nessling told This is Money that Spanish property is a good long-term investment because the market is at its bottom and is expected to improve in the coming years.

The Agbar Tower in Barcelona

SpainHouses.netAugust 4, 2012April 2, 2020Leave a comment

This Tower might be a distant echo of old Catalan obsessions, carried on the winds that blow in from Montserrat. Inspired by the architectural legacy left behind by Gaudí and by the hills of Montserrat, the Agbar Tower rises from the ground with the power and lightness of a geyser, touching the blue skies of Barcelona.

Two non-concentric oval cylinders crowned by a glass and steel dome. The inner cylinder holds the vertical traffic nucleus and the installations.

Between this central axis and the exterior there are 31 spacious floors without internal columns.

Its first skin, covering the concrete wall, is a layer of polished aluminium in earthy tones and blues, greens and greys, decomposing as they gain in height. The second skin is made up of 59.619 sheets of clear and translucent glass.

Though construction of Sagrada Família had begun in 1882 , Gaudí became involved in 1883, taking over the project and transforming it with his architectural and engineering style—combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms.
