 Housing in Dolores is relatively affordable, and substantially cheaper than in the nearby beach areas.On November 25, 2005 the Municipal government of Dolores approved the development of a 1.6 km² area -Dolores Golf- to accommodate 2,664 new housing units, which also includes a 580,000 m² (145 acre) golf course.The new development was modified afterwards, and is now fully consistent with the regional government (Generalitat Valenciana) requirements.
