Cardenas Real Estate Agent Blog - Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria is such a well known family holiday island, you would think it would be very difficult to find a quiet secluded coastal town with good beaches and easy access to the bigger more well known resorts. Think again, Patalavaca fills all those requirements and more, and as well as making a great family home, it is a great investment for the future.

Patalavaca nestles just between Puerto Rico and Arguineguin, and is a cosy place to live, with bags of charm and character. The sandy beach is unspoilt and a short drive or brisk walk away along the promenade, you will find the fishing harbour of Arguineguin. This is a world away from the nightclubs and loud music of the bigger neighbouring resorts, but if you want to go and sample them, you know you can always return to your own delightful back water to take things at a more relaxed pace. Golfers will find Patalavaca especially enticing as it is close to the modern Anfi Tauro golf resort, another haven of tranquility.

This is what you get when you deal with a real estate company like Cardenas Real Estate that has grown up over 28 years in the area, based at three agencies in Arguineguin, Puerto Rico and Playa de Mogan. Local knowledge counts for a lot in Gran Canaria, and Cardenas know where to find the best properties and the right people to deal with to make the buying process quick and efficient. Patalavaca is just one of many hidden gems that Cardenas has among its current list of 491 properties, and they are changing all the time, so keep a regular check on their website and find your ideal home.

Last May we held a leaving party for our work colleague Markus who sadly decided to leave us to make a new life in Norway with his sentimental partner. Markus has been a true profesional and a great work colleague.

Markus, we wish you all the best!

Remember the name, Carla Suarez, this 19-year-old Las Palmas born tennis player is already turning heads, and forced her way through from the qualifying stages to reach the Quarter Finals of the French Open in Paris last week.

It was an amazing achievement for the rising star, and there was no shame in going out to Serbia’s, World number 3 ranked Jelena Jankovic by 3-6 and 2-6 in sets. Carla has had a taste of the big time and wants more, and is already practicing for Wimbledon. The French success will rocket her up the World rankings from 132 to about 50, and she can go straight into major tournaments without having to fight her way through the preliminary event.

It’s hardly surprising that Gran Canaria is a breeding ground for sports stars, it has the perfect climate and a great range of facilities for residents and holiday makers alike. That’s always a big plus for property investors when they think about a better life for themselves and their children.

What a perfect setting for a fashion show that focus’s on swimwear, and what a star name attraction they have in Liz Hurley.

On June 21, the Moda Calida (Hot Fashion) show comes to town, and the beautiful people will be striding out on the catwalk to show what it takes to get noticed on the beach this summer. Joining Miss Hurley are male model, Jon Kortajena and Canarian model and rising fashion star, Ariadne Artiles.
