Gay Open House: It’s Spain for Spring!

March 15, 2022 Queer Forty Staff 6 min read

Spring has sprung and summer is just around the corner. In fact it’s as good as summer already on the Costa del Sol in southern Spain.

This perpetually sunny part of the world has some of the finest real estate and best year round climates in Europe.

This month we bring you two detached villas – both architectural gems – one evoking the mid-century modern California style and the other with a generous nod to the Art Deco era. If a villa is out of reach then fear not as we can propose a no stress, lock-up and leave apartment in the heart of the bustling beach resort of Estepona.

Our monthly real estate feature sees us team up again with Welshman Rhodri Ellis Owen and Canadian Jameson Farn at LGBTQ Real Estate to bring you some of the finest real estate on the planet. Based in the south of France, but covering properties all over Europe, the guys at LGBTQ Real Estate pride themselves on their VIP level of personal service which is always delivered without prejudice. The business is dedicated to supporting LGBTQ+ sellers, buyers and their friends find their perfect property match.
