Poring over property listings is one of the most enjoyable parts of the whole Spain buying process. It is entirely possible to lose an afternoon scrolling through listings, imagining a life in each one – even before you are anywhere near ready to buy.
This summer, plenty of you did exactly that. Our most-viewed properties ranged from a beachside investment apartment in Almería to a mountain townhouse in the Axarquía, with plenty of golf-resort living in between. If you are curious what caught the eye of fellow browsers, here are the ten properties that drew the most attention on the Your Overseas Home portal, in order of views.

- In summary
1. Villa in Narila, Granada – €195,000
6 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 238 m² build | 1,741 m² plot
This was the most-viewed property of the summer, and it is easy to see why. Set in Cádiar, in the Alpujarra region of Granada, the villa was built in 2011 and offers two independent kitchens across two floors, along with a fully furnished interior ready for immediate use.
The plot alone sets it apart. At close to 1,750 m², there is space for a garden or leisure area, something increasingly hard to find at this price point. And Cádiar isn’t some sleepy hamlet – it has supermarkets, restaurants and medical facilities running year-round, well away from the isolated cortijo you might expect.
2. Apartment in Vera Playa, Costa de Almería – €130,000
2 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 90 m² build | communal pool
Second on the list is a two-bedroom apartment at a licensed tourist investment development just 300 metres from Puerto Rey beach in Almería. Unlike a standard resale, this complex operates under a unified tourist exploitation model, meaning the licence, the management company and the rental system are already in place.
For buyers weighing up rental income against personal use, that structure removes a lot of the guesswork. The 181-apartment resort includes a gym, a business centre and a kids’ club, and sits five minutes from the site of the future AVE high-speed train station.
3. Apartment in Cueva de Pagan, Murcia – €118,900
2 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | 51 m² build | communal pool
Set in the Jardín 4 area of Condado de Alhama Golf Resort, this apartment’s south-west facing terrace catches the afternoon sun from around midday through to sunset. Above it sits a private rooftop solarium the same size as the apartment itself, which gets sunshine for most of the day.
The resort is home to the renowned Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, along with restaurants, a supermarket and several communal pools. It is a short drive to the beaches of Mazarrón and around 30 minutes from Murcia International Airport.
4. House in Las Palas, Costa Cálida, Murcia – €199,000
2 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | 164 m² build | 253 m² plot
This townhouse sits within a private development in Fuente Álamo, where seven different house models are on offer, from rustic-style terraces to semi-detached villas. Residents share communal gardens and swimming pools, with the option to add a private pool at an extra cost.
Fuente Álamo de Murcia lies in the basin of the Mar Menor, roughly halfway between Cartagena and the city of Murcia, and is around 30 minutes from Murcia–Corvera Airport.
5. House in La Tercia, Murcia – €185,000
2 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 90 m² build | communal pool
A high-rise townhouse within United Golf Resort, this property is unusual for the development in having its own private plot at ground level, useful for parking or extra storage. The terrace comes with a private jacuzzi and a gazebo, and the home is sold fully furnished and ready to move into.
United Golf Resort offers nine community pools, a sports area and round-the-clock private security, all set in a quiet spot away from the main tourist strips.
6. House in Canillas de Aceituno, Malaga – €95,000
5 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 194 m² build
Five double bedrooms for under €100,000 is a rare find on the Spanish coast, and it may well explain why this one climbed the most-viewed list. Set in Canillas de Aceituno, one of Andalusia’s traditional whitewashed “pueblos blancos,” the townhouse combines that classic village character with far more room than the average village house, including high ceilings, a Juliet balcony over the front door and one of the five bedrooms with its own ensuite bathroom and bathtub.
A firewood fireplace and a small laundry room sit off the living areas, and from the terrace, views stretch across the surrounding mountains. The property is just a few footsteps from the village’s shops, bars and restaurants.
7. House in El Rincon, Costa de Almería – €136,500
3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 129 m² build | 90 m² plot
Located in the village of Las Herrerías, this three-storey townhouse offers considerably more space than a typical coastal apartment, including a basement roughly the size of the ground floor, suited to storage, a workshop or gym. Two of the three upstairs bedrooms open onto private terraces, and a rooftop solarium adds further outdoor space with open views.
Villaricos fishing village, known for its marina and Sunday market, is around a five-minute drive away, and the beaches of Palomares and Vera Playa are within easy reach by car.
8. Villa in Gimenado, Costa Cálida, Murcia – €259,900
3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 88 m² build | 168 m² plot | private pool
One of only six one-level villas in this development in El Jimenado, near Torre-Pacheco, this property pairs an open-plan kitchen and living area with a private pool, garden and solarium, complete with a summer kitchen for outdoor cooking. Large windows keep the terrace and pool area connected to the interior throughout the day.
El Jimenado is close to several golf resorts, including Roda Golf and Mar Menor Golf Resort, with the Mar Menor beaches around 18 kilometres away and Murcia–Corvera Airport roughly 22 kilometres away.
9. House in La Pinilla, Costa Cálida, Murcia – €176,157
2 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 70 m² build | 180 m² plot | communal pool
Part of a newly built development of villas and townhouses, this property sits in a quiet, nature-surrounded setting in La Pinilla. Townhouse buyers share a communal pool, while the villas in the same development each come with a private pool, and most also include a solarium.
The development is aimed at buyers who want distance from noise and stress without giving up modern finishes, with a gym on site alongside the pools.
10. Apartment in Casas del Aljibe, Murcia – €125,000
2 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | 58 m² build | communal pool and gym
Rounding out the list is a first-floor corner apartment in La Isla, a lake-side pocket of Condado de Alhama Golf Resort. The south-facing position brings light in for most of the day, and the kitchen has been renovated with built-in cabinets and additional lighting.
Residents have access to a communal pool, along with a private parking space included in the sale. Whether bought as a holiday retreat or a rental investment, the setting around the resort’s landscaped gardens and lake is part of the draw.
What should I do next?
If any of these have caught your eye, the practical next step is to get in touch with the agent through the listing page to check current availability, since summer interest can move a property on quickly. It is also worth thinking early about how you will transfer funds for a deposit or purchase, particularly with six of the ten properties priced under €200,000, where currency movements can make a real difference to your final cost. Our budgeting tools are a good place to start putting real numbers against a shortlist.
In summary
This summer’s most-viewed properties spanned four Spanish provinces, from a six-bedroom Granada villa on a generous plot to a licensed investment apartment metres from an Almería beach. Whatever drew you to this list, whether it is golf-resort living in Murcia, mountain village character in Malaga, or a straightforward coastal investment, the common thread is a resort or town with genuine year-round infrastructure behind it.
