“The development itself is in one of my favourite areas in Morocco, the fact that it’s been established for a while means that there are lots of fish restaurants full of local character, as well as good transport links to the towns and countryside around.”

Prices in Colina Smir start at only £62,463 and mortgages are available to help finance the purchase.
