Villas and townhouses in Melilla

The city is compact and closely built, so a detached villa with a garden is a rarer thing, and the setting does much of the work: the sea on one side, the hills of Morocco on the other.

Everything sits close together here: the old quarter, the port, the town beaches. Like Ceuta, Melilla is a Spanish autonomous city in North Africa, and regular sea and air links connect it with the mainland. As anywhere in Spain, an independent lawyer should confirm each step of a purchase.
