Happiness is the human beings most wanted elixir. Well-being at work, family and social environment makes people feel they are complete, radiant and alive after all. That’s why the house we live in, is crucial to achieve a good quality of life, since it is the place of rest and disconnection.

There are many factors affecting a good quality of life, among them there are two key things to bear in mind: the first is health and the second is housing. Just as we look for trained doctors to take care of our bodies, we also need to have real estate professionals to advise us on the purchase of our houses.

Life expectancy in the Canary Islands lies at 81 and a half years. These are data from the Institute of Economic Research in Valencia (Ivie) from the year 2014. Therefore, Corralejo in Fuerteventura, is one of our preferred locations for the purchase of houses.

Apart from living longer, we would like to do that with quality. The beach plays a fundamental role here. As reported by the BBC, "the effect of the sea on health has been investigated in British volunteers" and it concludes that "60% of the world's population lives in coastal areas, so I think it is no coincidence that most people living near the sea," said Dr. White.

Sunbeams are a source of vitamin D. There are several studies that show that "those who are regularly exposed to rays of the sun live longer than those who avoid it", according to an article in the newspaper La Vanguardia. That’s why places like Corralejo can be considered fountains of life.

Living with stress leads to numerous health problems. Buying a house in a quiet place, within walking-distance to work for example, will allow us to live longer and in peace. Having the beach close always invites to relax, either looking at the sea from the balcony of the house or taking a walk along the beach.

The main diseases causing death among Spaniards are those of the circulatory system, the respiratory system and tumors. All of them can be avoided by a healthy life, which is more conducive if you live in a paradise like Corralejo, where good food can be combined with physical exercise.

According to a research conducted by the School of Public Health at Harvard University with a group of women, living surrounded by green areas reduces the death rate by 12%. The proximity of the Natural Park of Corralejo assures more vegetation and life on this island signifies less noise and pollution than in large cities.

The population density in the Canary Islands is 257 people per square kilometer, according to the government data of this archipelago. However, the island of Fuerteventura has an even lower density, facilitating social relations without overcrowding.

In conclusion, the purchase of a house should be made in a place with a high quality of life standard. As we have seen, the sun, the beach and the absence of stress favor the well-being of people. You want to live in a place like Corralejo? Don’t hesitate - talk to us!
