Holiday Homes - Some Information For Buyers
By Johnson Simpson

You’d be surprised by the number of people in the UK who are buying holiday homes in Spain. Whether you’re planning to buy or let-to-own, Spanish holiday homes are the perfect places to escape the ordinary and travel to a friendly, sun-drenched land with miles of glorious white sand beaches. In this article, we’ll present some general information about Spanish properties in two spectacular coastal areas.

Costa Almeria

Almeria is a coastal Spanish province located in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula. It covers almost 8800 square kilometers. Due to its unique geographic diversity, you can find both houses and holiday cottages in vibrant, carefully developed areas or in natural, less developed areas. Almeria is rich in history and folklore, so you’ll find plenty of cultural pride displayed in its numerous fiestas and remarkable handcrafts. The climate is typically Mediterranean, which means warm and dry with moderate temperatures and over 3000 hours of sunlight per year. The temperature range averages about 13ºC in the winter and about 25ºC in the summer, making Almeria a year-round destination for Britons who want vacation homes in Spain. Almeria’s cuisine is as varied as its history and includes rich seafood soups, gurullos, porridges and specialty dishes seasoned with Spain’s signature sweet or smoked paprika. Be sure to visit beaches like Aquadulce and Puerto del Rey to sample what it would be like to have a holiday home in Spain.

Costa del Sol

Costa del Sol is one of Spain’s most popular destinations. For that reason, many Britons who buy homes in Spain choose to locate them in Costa del Sol’s sheltered coastline that stretches over 160 kilometers east and west of Malaga on the southern coast. Costa del Sol is a remarkable combination of past and present. From sites like the historic village of Mijas Pueblo to Puerto Banus where you’ll find enough glamour for even the most cosmopolitan visitor. Owners of vacation homes in Spain located in this area of Andalucia can enjoy a variety of fiestas and events, including the celebrated running of the bulls and a colorful Easter parade. Costa del Sol has plenty of attractions including a Roman theater, fine arts museum and the birthplace of the celebrated Spanish artist Pablo Picasso. The cuisine of Costa del Sol is a spectacular blend of fish and seafood dishes like “el pescaito frito” (fried fish) with the traditional meat and sausage fare typical of Spain, like the classic paella in all its delicious variations. Great locations for holiday houses include la Malagueta and la Caleta, beaches near Malaga. With over 320 sunny days per year and an average temperature of 22ºC, Costa del Sol’s semitropical climate is perfect for Britons seeking vacation homes for sale in Spain.

Buyers in the UK who are considering holiday homes in Spain, whether glamorous villas or modest cottages, are very likely to find agreeable prices to go along with the sunny and agreeable climate in either Costa Almeria or Costa del Sol.
