Spain

The real estate location with 300 days of sunshine

Spain as a real estate location borders France and Portugal. And from Tarifa it is only 13.5 km to the African coast. Only the Strait of Gibraltar separates Spain and Morocco from each other. Spain has a coastline of 7268 km and is therefore a popular holiday destination. The people are cheerful and friendly and because Spain has 300 days of sunshine and a mild climate, especially in the southwest, many return to live here.

The well-known coasts

The most famous coasts of Spain include the Costa Brava and Costa Daurada, which are located in the region of Catalonia. Further south between Valencia and Murcia is the Costa Blanca. And the most impressive coast is in Andalusia, the Costa del Sol with the famous places like Malaga and Marbella.

The islands

The Spanish islands include the Balearic Islands with Mallorca, the capital of which is Palma de Mallorca. Known for its cathedral and the towns of Port d`Andratx and Santa Ponsa. The smaller islands like the contemplative Menorca and Ibiza which are for their high society.

The Canary Islands include the inhabited islands: Tenerife – Fuerteventura – Gran Canaria – Lanzerote – La Palma – La Gomera and El Hierro.

Real estate market in Spain

The Spanish real estate market has been stable again since the great collapse in 2014 and has grown continuously. In contrast to other countries in the southern region, there are no major declines to be recorded here that were triggered by the 2020 corana crisis. The demand for houses, villas and apartments in particular is unbroken. One of the real estate hotspots is clearly Marbella and the surrounding cities such as Estepona, Nueva Andalusia, Elviria and Fuengirola with luxury Villas.
