Spain has always been a popular destination for British holidaymakers all year round and according to the latest Official Airline Guide (OAG) data, the UK-Spain market is the largest European country pairing this winter season.
Compared to last year’s winter months, the market has grown by over 12% for the number of seats and flights between Spain and the UK suggesting that more and more Brits looking for winter sun are choosing Spain as their desired destination.
The pairing between the UK and Spain being named as the largest in Europe is not only good for the airlines but also positive news for the Spanish property market, as Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director of leading homebuilder Taylor Wimpey España, explains,
“The increase in the number of flights and seats available between Spain and the UK reaffirms the high demand for the Spanish sunshine as Brits seek an escape from the dreary winter weather at home.
“With short haul flights from the UK to Spain proving the most popular routes in Europe, Taylor Wimpey España are ready to accommodate this winter sun demand with the launch of a new residential phase on the La Recoleta III development in Torrevieja.
“This area of the Costa Blanca is particularly popular due to the excellent climate and transportation links as well as the range of available watersports including windsurfing, sailing and paragliding that can be enjoyed all year round.”
The new phase of apartments are exclusively located just 2 minutes from Punta Prima beach and present the ideal break from the British winter. La Recoleta’s Mediterranean style buildings enjoy wide avenues leading down to the sea, along with immaculate garden areas and well-run services that make it the perfect place to relax and enjoy the fantastic Spanish climate.
Starting from €189,000+VAT, the 2 and 3 bedroom apartments enjoy a well-designed layout with private terraces and beautiful views over the sea, the swimming pool and private gardens of the development. The penthouses also include solariums and outstanding views.
Punta Prima is a wonderful location right by the sea; Torrevieja is only 10 minutes away by car and is one of the favoured destinations of the Costa Blanca. Communications are excellent by road and the El Altet International Airport (Alicante) is only 45 minutes away, while the San Javier Airport, Murcia, is around 30 minutes away.
