The Benefits of Buying Property on the Costa del Sol: Beauty - it's good for you!
One of the top draws for tourists and expats looking for Costa del Sol homes for sale is beauty. Of course the natural beauty of the countryside is the first thing that one thinks of, but the local traditional architecture is also lovely to behold. Why is it that we are so fascinated with beauty? There are a variety of reasons that contribute to this. The first of which is that it simply makes us happier!
Researchers have found that looking at beautiful art correlates with strong activity in the part of the brain related to pleasure. It makes us feel good, in the same way as looking at a loved one makes us feel good! Of course looking at a painting in a museum is not the same as looking over the sea at mountains below, but one can make the aesthetic connection fairly easily.
Some colors have also been associated with higher cognitive activity. Other research has shown that even just glancing at green "can boost creativity and motivation". This may be because green is the color of vegetation that in our ancient past would have been associated in our minds as nourishment. So, not only is looking at a lovely landscape good for you mood, it's good for your productivity too!
Natural fractals - "irregular, self-similar geometry" - are also generally considered beautiful to look at, and can be found in coastlines, rivers, snowflakes and leaf veins. The neurological response to seeing this sort of geometrical design is a reduction of stress - and these can reduce to as much as 60%, just by having fractals in one's field of vision.
So if you do not find yourself surrounded by natural beauty - seek it out! Of course this is much easier if you live on the Costa del Sol, where the coastline, mountains and blue skies can do nothing but life one's mood. And not only that! You can be happier, more productive and less stressed if you fill your life with more beauty. Even if you are only looking for Spanish property for sale on the Costa del Sol, you will benefit from the aesthetic quality of the places you'll be viewing.
