About Orihuela
Orihuela is a historic town in southern Alicante, perfectly positioned between the mountains and the Mediterranean. Blessed with over 300 days of sunshine annually, it boasts a temperate climate that eliminates harsh winters. The town itself maintains authentic Spanish character while embracing its large international population—a unique blend that creates a welcoming atmosphere for newcomers. Located just 15 minutes from the bustling Costa Blanca coast and 45 minutes from Alicante Airport, Orihuela offers accessibility without the overcrowding of beachfront towns. The region benefits from excellent infrastructure, modern healthcare facilities, and a growing number of international amenities. Property prices here remain refreshingly reasonable compared to coastal hotspots, making it increasingly popular with retirees and investors seeking value. The surrounding countryside features rolling hills, almond groves, and championship golf courses—creating a picturesque backdrop for daily life.
Life in Orihuela
Living in Orihuela means joining a peaceful community that celebrates life at a comfortable pace. Your days might begin with coffee at a local café where English conversations flow naturally among the established expat community. Mid-morning could bring a round of golf at one of several championship courses nearby, followed by lunch at authentic Spanish restaurants or modern establishments catering to international tastes. The weekly markets—particularly in the town center—offer fresh produce, fish, and local specialties at reasonable prices. Supermarkets like Mercadona, Lidl, and Consum provide familiar shopping experiences. Afternoons often involve exploring nearby Blue Flag beaches, enjoying leisurely walks, or socializing with friends in the relaxed expat community. Healthcare is readily accessible with private clinics offering English-speaking doctors and a regional hospital within 30 minutes. Evenings showcase the Spanish tradition of paseos (walks) through town, dining with friends, or enjoying cultural events. This rhythm of life—mixing gentle activity with genuine relaxation—defines the Orihuela retirement experience.
Investment Potential
Beyond personal enjoyment, this property represents sound financial planning. Orihuela's property market has appreciated 8% year-on-year, outpacing national averages and demonstrating sustained demand. While priced at €3,702/m² (premium specification), this remains substantially below local averages of €2,200/m² when accounting for condition and specification—and dramatically cheaper than island markets. The rental potential is compelling: similar properties command €800 per week during peak season, generating approximately €30,000 annually from 8-10 weeks of letting. Many buyers utilize this income to offset mortgage costs or property expenses. The established expat community ensures consistent rental demand from visitors seeking authentic Costa Blanca experiences. With Alicante Airport's expansion and improved transport links, property values in Orihuela continue strengthening. This bungalow offers the rare combination of lifestyle enjoyment and investment appreciation.
