It is the dream of many Brits – to escape the British grey sky and cold seas for the Spanish coast and live in a picturesque white walled town with beaches at your fingertips.
This dream has become a reality for thousands of foreigners around the world who have descended into the small Andalusian town over the past eight years.
Since 2017, the stunning location of the Costa del Sol, Trox's population has risen by a third, with 5,815 newcomers representing 100 different nationalities, including the UK and Germany.
Recent figures show that the town currently has 1,042 homes registered for tourism – about 5% of the property.
Currently, there are no restrictions on tourist housing, but Trox mayor Oscar Medina argued that population growth is being processed sustainably to benefit everyone.
Boasting more than five miles of coastline, a surge in real estate prices has been seen, and two new urban projects are currently on the table – Currychate and Puerto Narixa.
“This sustainable development was important, but it cannot grow at any price and requires analyzing multiple factors, including tourist housing,” Medina told Olive Press.
Jose Antonio Perez, CEO of Real Estate Business School (REBS), added that growth has grown and balance has been achieved along with services, employment opportunities and housing.
“Trox has grown in seasonal and residential tourism since the '80s, including abandoned mini-farm houses converted into country homes and worsened village homes rehabilitated by non-residents who rent using them. It's there.”
Perez doesn't believe the increase in tourist accommodation is a problem. “Trox, along with the village and country homes (that) balances tourists and the housing market for decades,” he added.
“We have completed the newest homes in the state, along with renovated properties that attract residents from the city of Malaga and neighboring municipalities due to housing availability, quality of life and prices.”
He added: “These tourists will not injure Trox at all as their infrastructure and services grow and adapt simultaneously to attract employment, talent, consumption and taxes.”
It was shared in January that Mayor Medina revealed plans to develop more than 300 hectares of land on the beachfront in the Karachen area of Trox. Bath.
“The Karachetes will become one of the most spectacular regions in Southern Europe,” the mayor argued, adding that the project will become a reality within up to 10 years.
This Currychate project will take part in 1,200 new properties in the Puerto Narixa area, surrounded by 425,000 metres of green space and shopping centre.
