After the crisis of the real estate in Spain, the reactivation of the luxury real estate is a reality and shows no signs of stopping in the coming years.
One of the most tempting offers for buyers is the Mediterranean coast, which has exclusive properties mostly distributed in Barcelona and the Costa Brava area, where Font Real Estate has a wide range of properties.
We can affirm for this reason that luxury housing in the most sought-after areas of the Catalan capital has the interest of residents and investors, both national and foreign.
