Los Guájares (pron: gwahares) are three traditional Spanish villages - Guájar Fondon, Guájar Faragüit
(pron: farahwheet) and Guájar Alto - set in a lush sub-tropical valley on the Costa Tropical in Southern
Spain.
They have excellent access to beaches, airports and the Sierra Nevada National Park:
- The popular Coastal Tropical beach resorts of Motril and Salobrena are just 15 minutes by car;
- Granada International Airport is 50 minutes and Malaga and Almeria International Airports are 90
minutes by car;
- The ski resorts and walking routes of the Sierra Nevada National mountains are 90 minutes by car
Properties located in Los Guájares currently represent an excellent investment opportunity with prices
typically less than half of those just 15 minutes away in the coastal towns of Motril and Salobrena.
