Castell-Playa de Aro is a municipality located in the picturesque Spanish region of Costa Brava. It includes three localities: Playa de Aro, S'Agaro, and Castell de Aro.

Playa de Aro is known for its enjoyable experiences.shoppingEven on weekends, when many other Spanish cities have their shops closed, S'Agaro attracts visitors with its stunning architecture and beautiful promenade, while Castell-Platja d'Aro impresses with historical landmarks such as the ancient castle and medieval fortress.

Unforgettable experiences

The city of Playa de Aro leaves unforgettable impressions. This is not only due to its location on the coast.Mediterranean Sea...but also that the prices for clothing and footwear here are significantly lower than in major cities in Russia, such as St. Petersburg or Moscow.

• For example, moccasins that can cost 6,000 to 7,000 rubles in St. Petersburg can be purchased in Playa de Aro for just 100 euros.
• Clean streets, well-maintained parks and neatly trimmed hedges create a special atmosphere.
• Local residents, although they don't always speak English, sometimes surprise tourists by speaking Russian.

The economic situation in Spain

Despite the economic instability reported by the media about Spain, Playa de Aro is not experiencing such difficulties. Some analysts predict the country's bankruptcy, while others report a risk of default. Housing prices in several regions of Spain have nearly halved, and the unemployment rate exceeds 20%.

Life in Playa de Aro

Nevertheless, the economic difficulties do not affect life in Playa de Aro. It is a tourist and shopping town, so locals are not short of money.

• In the high season, when tourists and property owners come here, there will be work for everyone.

Off-season visit

I managed to visit Playa de Aro in the off-season, which allowed me to experience the atmosphere of an almost deserted town. Undoubtedly, the central shopping street was lively with both locals and tourists — even on weekdays.

Unique atmosphere

But as soon as you turn into the side streets, a feeling of emptiness washes over you, and it seems that there are almost no people in the city, except for cleaning staff and hotel personnel. This is because many residential areas in Playa de Aro belong to people from other regions who only use them in the summer.

The rest of the time they remain empty or are rented out, which gives the city a special atmosphere of coziness and silence. This environment creates a unique feeling that you want to return to again and again.

Most likely, the feeling of loneliness I experienced became one of those moments that brought me satisfaction, as I don't like being in large crowds, whether they are tourists or locals. The locals claim that during the summer months, there are indeed many vacationers here. Therefore, spring and autumn seem to me the most favorable seasons to visit Playa de Aro.

The situation in the real estate market

Speaking about the situation in the real estate market, there are rumors that it hasn't been significantly affected by the recent economic crises. According to expert Alexander Vlasenko, who is a partner at the a2partners fund, although prices for housing in the form of apartments and houses have slightly decreased, this decline is not as noticeable as in other regions of Spain. The specialist attributes this tolimited land offerprovided by the local administration for new developments, as well as withhigh standard of livingin Playa de Aro. In addition, there is a clear shortage of offers in this market, which also affects the situation.

Changes in the customer audience

If previously the main buyers here were the English and the French, in recent years there has been a growing interest from citizens of Russia and Ukraine. Our compatriots often choose housing in the range of500,000 to several million euros.

Conclusion

In conclusion to the article about Playa de Aro, I want to emphasize that this municipality, despite the current economic situation in Spain, wonderfully maintains its appeal for both tourists and residents. I was pleasantly surprised by how seamlessly modern aspects of life blend with the historical part, reflecting the region's rich cultural heritage.

Playa de Aro is not just a summer vacation spot; it's a corner where one can live year-round, away from noisy cities, enjoying picturesque beaches, cozy streets, and unique architecture.
