El Rompido is the star of a national advertising campaign to promote Spain.

Village Stars In Spanish Tourist Board Ad Campaign

Tourist board uses pictures of El Rompido to highlight Spain's finest aspects which should boost the area's property market.

Spain's national tourist board is currently using the idyllic picture-postcard beach of El Rompido, in Huelva, in an international print advertising campaign to highlight the country's finest aspects.

This is a great endorsement for local estate agents who are currently selling properties in the area.

Andrew Benitz, director of Titan Properties which has its head office in El Rompido, said: "Relative anonymity has been both our strength and ironically our downfall over recent years.

"Whilst Spain's big hitters – Marbella, Madrid, Barcelona and the like – have garnered the lion's share of media attention historically, Huelva has gone largely unnoticed.

"This, of course, makes our coastline unspoilt, undeveloped, natural and uncontrived but also means that second home hunters are potentially missing out on one of Spain's hidden treasures.

"Hopefully the inclusion of El Rompido's glorious beach in a global ad campaign will bring some much deserved attention on the area."

At the western tip of Spain's Costa de la Luz, El Rompido is essentially a fishing village on the estuary of the Rio Piedras which is protected from the Atlantic by a long spit of land called La Flecha (The Arrow).

Its presence creates both a safe anchorage for the fishing boats and also a perfect playground for water sports. The fishing boats are as active now as they ever were, trawling the waters for sumptuous seafood that ends up on the plates in local restaurants, but the 10 kilometres of white sandy beach, backed by lofty dunes and pine forests has attracted another crowd – discerning property investors.

Growing into a vibrant, energetic destination, El Rompido has much to offer holidaymakers with two 18-hole golf courses and a brace of five star hotels. It has a marina fringed with lavish million euro plus villas complete with private berths, fashionable bars and trendy boutiques. This is just one of four marinas planned for the area.

The Altos del Rompido is a development of 150 apartments and penthouses overlooking the Rio Piedras estuary and the Atlantic beyond. There are a range of facilities including swimming pools, paddle tennis courts, and a café bar.

The village of El Rompido with its pretty square, shops, restaurants, cycle tracks, forests walks and endless sandy beaches is within walking distance, while Seville and Faro international airports are both within an hour's drive.

Prices at Altos del Rompido start from €224,000 for an apartment with completion expected in June 2011.
