Spain Buying Guide
Spain has a great variety of landscapes, from mountains and lakes in the north to sandy beaches, olive groves and vineyards in the south. The drive from Burgos in the north-west to Malaga in the south-east takes you through so many different panoramas; you could be forgiven for thinking you are driving through several different countries.
For years the south-eastern Mediterranean coast has been one of Europe’s most popular holiday destinations and is the place of choice for most British second homes. However, in recent years the north-west (Galicia) with its craggy shores on the Atlantic is attracting a large amount of attention amongst buyers looking for more rural retreats away from the tourist hubs of the Costas – at more sensible prices.
Spain has many charming and captivating religious festivals, pilgrimages, carnivals and fairs such as ‘El dia de los muertos’ and the running of the bulls. You will find yourself a part of these festivals as you are carried along by the warmth and enthusiasm of the cheering crowds – sometimes literally!
Only in the last two or three decades, and since Spain’s entry into the European Union, have things really begun to move ahead and to modernise. For those who live in the countryside however, life remains quite traditional and unchanged, blissfully so to visitors who look back to a more intimate and unspoilt village life that is long past in most countries.
People are also attracted by the relaxed and slower way of life in Spain and the culinary delights like paella and tortillas are legendary… and affordable. Overall, there are loads of reasons that Spain is the number one destination for Britons buying abroad.
