Buying a Home in Pilar de la Horadada

The southernmost town on the Costa Blanca — Spanish in character, with the beaches of Torre de la Horadada and Mil Palmeras around the corner.

Why Pilar de la Horadada?

Pilar de la Horadada is the southernmost municipality on the Costa Blanca, on the border with the Murcia region. The town itself sits a few kilometres inland and has a genuinely Spanish character: a busy high street, a weekly market and amenities that stay open all year. Its coastal strip — Torre de la Horadada and Mil Palmeras — is among the finest on the southern Costa Blanca.

Explore the greener side of the municipality with walking the Rio Seco near Pinar de Campoverde.

Our office in San Pedro del Pinatar is literally around the corner: Pilar is our back garden. We know the new-build projects, the developers and the differences between the town and the coastal zones from daily practice rather than from a brochure.

Living in Pilar de la Horadada

Spanish town life

A working town with shops, schools, a health centre and restaurants — not an urbanisation that empties out in winter.

Beach within cycling distance

The beaches of Torre de la Horadada and Mil Palmeras are minutes away — without paying coastal prices.

Golf and countryside

The Lo Romero golf course is next door, and the inland countryside offers excellent walking and cycling routes.

Plenty of new-build

Modern projects with pools are going up around the town — often with our guidance free to you, because the developer pays our fee.

The property market in Pilar de la Horadada

The market here has two halves. In and around the town you will find Spanish terraced houses, apartments and modern new-build villas at relatively friendly prices; towards the coast the price level rises. For buyers who want town life combined with easy access to the beach, Pilar is one of the best value choices on the southern Costa Blanca.

One thing worth knowing: Pilar falls under the Valencia region while neighbouring San Pedro falls under Murcia. That means different transfer tax rates and different letting rules — precisely the kind of difference we work through with you as standard.
