SPAIN STILL NUMBER ONE HOLIDAY DESTINATION.

New figures have named Spain as the top EU destination once again, showing that despite the economic climate, the country remains the dream spot for many tourists. Euro stat found that in 2011, 13 per cent of all outbound trips in Europe where made to Spain, with Italy and France coming in second place (nine per cent respectively). These figures do not include holiday makers outside of the EU and actual visitor numbers are likely to be much higher.

The most popular areas for investment are Alicante, Malaga, Barcelona, the Balearic Islands and Madrid. For those interested in the holiday let market, selecting the right location is integral. The Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca have proven particularly sought after among investors and holiday makers.

It was also revealed that Spain is the preferred choice among Portuguese, British and French tourists, with market shares of 39 per cent, 21 per cent and 18 per cent respectively. This flies in the face of most research, which indicates it is in fact people from the UK that make up the majority of travelers in Spain.

These figures will no doubt be welcomed by Spaniards, who have been faced with a deluge of bad news over the coming years, thanks to the recession. What's more, they indicate investors looking to enter the holiday let market should set their sights on Spanish property, to benefit from low real estate prices and high demand.

Data shows that many foreign buyers are already capitalizing on the assets the country has to offer. Spain's Ministry of Development revealed overseas buyers upped their investment in real estate by 13.7 per cent in 2012, equating to €6,336 million worth of property transactions on private homes. This is considerably greater than the €5,573.3 million noted in 2011.

Over the last quarter of 2012, activity was particularly strong, with overseas investors buying 47 per cent more homes than the same time in 2011. Some 13,873 properties were bought by foreigners between October and December. This appetite for Spanish real estate shows little sign of abating anytime soon, and non-residents of the country have been increasing their market share for six consecutive quarters.

If you would like to take a tour or move around on the bike and didn´t take one with you (because it didn´t fit into you hand luggage) there are plenty of shops that rent their bikes out for the day, the week or even just a couple of hours. You will find these shops distributed throughout Denia.

Denia´s Town Hall has also started a public bike rentals system, where you can just take a bike at one station and drop it of at another. The payment runs completely via your card that you can get at any of the stations. Although this system was not established for tourists, it is still a very useful and quick way to get through town.

COSTA BLANCA IN TOP FIVE CHEAP HOLIDAY DESTINATIONS

Despite sterling taking a pounding against the euro this year, the cost of spending abroad has fallen dramatically at many destinations, according to the Post Office Holiday Costs Barometer.

It means meals out, drinks and self-catering groceries at many popular resorts will be significantly cheaper. The research shows prices in Spain have plummeted by up to 20 per cent since last year.

Portugal pipped Spain’s Costa del Sol to the top spot in the seventh annual travel money league thanks to its low costs of food and drink.

It was closely followed by the Costa Blanca, Spain, Bulgaria and Palma Nova in Mallorca in the top-five cheap holiday destinations.

The costs of 10 standard items - - coffee, beer, wine, cola, water, suncream, newspapers, insect repellant, cigarettes and a meal - are used to set the barometer.

The cost of a basket of goods in the Costa Blanca were £47.14.

The cheapest place in the top five resorts to buy a cup of coffee is the Costa Blanca at 75p.

The research shows prices have tumbled in the Costas, down around 20 per cent compared to last year.

Prices have been dropping in many European resorts because of the effects of the eurozone crisis as they vie for overseas custom to boost their ailing economies.
Andrew Brown, of Post Office Travel Money, said:

"The pound may be worth less in Europe than a year ago but fierce competition means that lower prices in several of the resorts we surveyed can easily offset the falling value of sterling."

Taking some time to check out resort costs and add them to package prices to find the best holiday comparison and overall deal will pay dividends this summer. This really is the year to do some 'sterling' work before booking a holiday.

"Be prepared to swap destination or switch to a cheaper resort within the same country."

Mr Brown said the "continuing volatility" of sterling means holidaymakers should "budget carefully".

He said: "Running out of cash and having to use an overseas ATM or pay on a card that incurs extra charges could pack an unpleasant punch when the statement arrives.

"Allow time to buy foreign currency before leaving home because changing money at the airport means losing out by getting a poor rate."

Most expensive resort in the list was the Jumeirah region of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates where the items cost £103.23.

Italian destinations Sorrento (£101.79) and Tuscany (£94.92) were the next dearest.

Travel expert Simon Calder said:

"Wherever you are in Europe it's well worth seeking out the best value. Traders are being very competitive."

SPAIN STILL NUMBER ONE DREAM HOLIDAY DESTINATION IN THE EU

Regardless of high unemployment rate, which is 26%, Spain remains one of the favorite countries for a many oversea investors, that are looking for a holiday home in Europe.

According to the latest figures, Spain has been named as the best EU destination for investment, as it remains a dream location for several tourists.

Eurostat’s analysis found that 13 % of the count of European outbound  trips made 2011 was to Spain. With Italy and France on the second spot, with 9% each. These stats include only tourists who live in the Euro zone, and the actual variety of visitors from all over the world, is likely to be much higher.

Spain, apart from gaining most of the Western traffic, has also been identified as the preferred location among English, Italian, and Portuguese visitors. While visitors from France make up for 18 % of Spain’s EU-tourism market, English tourists count for 21 %, and Portuguese tourists were 39 %. These numbers create for an excellent reading for the Spaniards, considering the harsh periods they have faced over the years, due to the recession.

Tourists Turning into Investors 

Spain’s tourism industry is performing well even in periods of economic recession. Several visitors who visit the country are often fascinated by the low prices of some of the beautiful luxury properties. Many traders have been setting their attractions on the holiday and resort market, as the results are guaranteed to be big. Popular demand and low costs are pushing residents to sell off their properties, and investors are confident  to make the most of this opportunity.

Research suggests that many overseas investors have begun capitalizing on Spanish real estates assets. The country’s Ministry of Development released a report, which showed that foreign buyers increased their real estate investments by almost 14% during 2012. There have been 6,336 million Euros worth of real estate transactions completed on homes and apartments in the country during 2012, a surprising rise compared to the 5573 million Euros generated through property transactions in 2011.

Strong Market Performances may Aid Recovery

Market activity was quite powerful during the ultimate quarter of 2012. Overseas investors bought 47 % more Real Estates in Spain compared to the final quarter of 2011.  The Market is showing sign of recovery after a constant increase in property transaction for the past six quarters in a row.

Areas such as Alicante, Malaga, Madrid and the Balearic Islands have been gaining plenty of interest from overseas. However, places such as the Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol are offering some beautiful beach properties for incredible low prices. Investors who are interested in Estates by the beach are entering the market and purchasing property assets on the coast.

Even resorts and hotels close to the coast  are getting more inquiries about their accessibility, indicating that the tourism industry can contribute considerably towards the restoration of the Real Estate market

British love of Spain results in investment opportunities

The British love affair with Spain is generating many possibilities for investors wanting to get into the vacation let market . Taylor Wimpey Espana stated that , since tourism numbers increase , there are many probabilities for savvy investors to produce new revenue . Conditions are particularly suitable as real estate prices stay low and financing levels start to improve , albeit slowly . For budding property owners , this means profits can certainly be maximized on high-spec properties in the right area .

Information from Spanish tourism department statistics agency Frontur has revealed a record amount of foreign visitors arrived in the country between January and July 2013 . In the first six months of the year , 34 million arrived on Spanish ground , with the British leading the charge . That is the largest amount in almost 20 years and a 3 .9 per cent rise on 2012 . In July alone , 7 .9 million visited Spain , up 2 .9 per cent from the year previous . Of those , 1 .8 million were from the United Kingdom . France and Germany are also showing higher activity in the country , with 1 .2 million visitors each .

Marc Pritchard , sales and marketing manager for Taylor Wimpey España , said : "This arrives as fantastic news for the Spanish economy since tourism represents such a significant role in GDP . It is equally a encouraging sign for the EU as one as evidently consumers are beginning to feel more financially confident and are spending money on vacations abroad . Here at Taylor Wimpey España we have observed this confidence also stretch to the real estate market as visitors are looking into making their stay a bit more permanent in favored holiday locations across Spain ."

Scandinavians pile into Spanish property

According to a recent article at the website Investment Europe, “Figures published by Fastighetsbyrån, part of Swedish banking group Swedbank, suggest Swedish and Norwegian property buyers have pushed hard into the Spanish residential property market, as British and German buyers have withdrawn in the past half-decade.”

The article goes onto explain that “over the four year period, the number of UK buyers has dropped by 65% and German buyers by 3%. However, the number of Norwegian buyers is up 108%, and Swedes by 138%. The total market is still down 33% from its 2007 peak, the figures also suggest.”
It’s not hard to see how Scandinavians are tempted by Spanish property: Their economies are relatively strong, as are their currencies (the Norwegian and Swedish Krone/Krona have both risen by around 5pc against the Euro since the Spanish property bubble burst at the end of 2007, whilst the British Pound has fallen almost 20pc); Spanish property prices on the coast are down around 50pc or more from the peak, and the sun doesn’t shine much back at home. So Scandinavian buyers are taking advantage of the market to snap up bargains on the Mediterranean coast, and who can blame them?
