More than just a trend, longevity is ceasing to be a rarity and becoming a tangible reality that is impacting various areas of society. This movement is notable not only for the extension of life, but also for the way in which people are redefining their role in society. The new longevity is a current trend that is transforming lives and breaking with past stereotypes.
According to recent sociological studies, the environment, climate and healthy habits play a fundamental role in longevity. Creativity Build has become a key ally in achieving this: a company that designs and builds spaces conceived to enhance the quality of life that is so characteristic of the municipality where it builds all its fabulous developments: Pilar de la Horadada, in the south of the province of Alicante, which is emerging as a privileged destination where health, tranquillity and longevity are not aspirations, but an everyday reality.
Its climate, sea, culture and Mediterranean lifestyle make this municipality a true refuge for those who want to live better and, as a result, longer. In its projects, well-being is part of the design.
The first thing that defines life in Pilar de la Horadada is its exceptional climate. With over 300 days of sunshine a year and mild temperatures throughout most of the year, the town encourages an active outdoor lifestyle. Various medical studies have shown that the Mediterranean climate, with its mild winters, helps to reduce respiratory problems, improve mood and promote healthy habits.
In Pilar de la Horadada, you don’t have to wait for spring to go for a walk on the beach, go cycling or simply enjoy an afternoon on a terrace. The weather is, in itself, a daily invitation to live and be happy.
Creativity Build takes that spirit as its reference point: clean lines, Mediterranean aesthetics, a predominance of light tones and designs that convey serenity. It’s not just about building houses, but about creating homes that breathe the same calm air you feel when taking a walk at sunset.
The presence of the Mediterranean Sea, just a few minutes away from anywhere in the municipality, is another of the great pillars of the wonderful lifestyle enjoyed here. The beaches of Las Higuericas, El Mojón, Mil Palmeras and Jesuitas offer calm waters, wide promenades and a relaxed atmosphere that is difficult to find in other areas with higher tourist traffic.
The simple act of walking by the sea has proven effects on stress, sleep quality and emotional health. The sea breeze, rich in negative ions, contributes to more efficient oxygenation and promotes feelings of calm and mental clarity. Added to this is the possibility of low-impact water activities, from swimming to paddle surfing, ideal for keeping the body active without straining it.
If there is one aspect that contributes greatly to the longevity of the area, it is its Mediterranean diet, recognised worldwide as one of the healthiest diets in existence. Pilar de la Horadada is a land of fresh produce: vegetables from the garden, fish caught daily, extra virgin olive oil and seasonal fruit.
Local markets and culinary traditions keep alive a way of eating that prioritises natural over processed, natural over artificial. This diet, rich in antioxidants, healthy fats and essential nutrients, is closely linked to a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease, greater longevity and overall well-being.
In Pilar de la Horadada, eating healthily is not a sacrifice, but an everyday pleasure.
Perhaps one of the most decisive factors in the good life in this municipality is its peaceful pace, far removed from urban stress. Here, time seems to pass differently: there is space for conversation, for walks, for enjoying small rituals that are lost in other places.
People who live in Pilar de la Horadada highlight the feeling of security and calm, the welcoming atmosphere and the active but stress-free social life. The community is close-knit, multicultural and balanced: many foreign residents have chosen this destination for their retirement or second home precisely because of its quality of life.
More and more families, couples, retirees and professionals are choosing Pilar de la Horadada as a place to settle down and build a life. And in that life project, Creativity Build accompanies, facilitates and builds.
In addition to the sea, the municipality has an extensive network of trails, parks and natural areas, such as the iconic Rambla de las Higueras, perfect for walking, running or cycling surrounded by greenery. Also noteworthy is its proximity to the Salinas de San Pedro Natural Park, a place of extraordinary biodiversity, known for its bird watching routes and unique landscapes.
Maintaining an active lifestyle here does not require much effort: just open the door and let nature take its course. And that daily habit is one of the great secrets of longevity in the region.
The concept of health in Pilar de la Horadada goes beyond the physical; it also encompasses emotional well-being. Constant contact with nature, open spaces, the absence of large crowds and the culture of ‘living without haste’ create an ideal environment for reducing stress and improving mental quality of life.
Here we find a real opportunity to reconnect with the essentials: sleeping better, breathing clean air, enjoying silence when we seek it, and a good atmosphere when we feel like it. All of this contributes to a full and balanced life.
