The weekend just gone was that time of the year when the clocks change again to mark the transition into winter.
Research by David Lloyd Clubs reveals that almost half (41%) of Brits say they feel low when the clocks go backwards. Days are shorter and grey skies are coming – it’s certainly time to look at way to beat the winter blues.
One of best ways to handle the transition is to turn attentions to winter sun destinations. According to The Weather Channel, a number of Spanish holiday hotspots have enjoyed an October with temperatures soaring well above normal.
The weather is the main motivator for second home buyers, especially those in the UK and Northern Europe, to look to Spain over the winter months as the perfect escape.
“The journey into winter is not always easy as days grow shorter, the temperature falls and grey skies loom. Only a couple of hours away and things are very different – Spain is the perfect place for those who want to enjoy an outdoor lifestyle and warm temperatures near enough year-round and with second homes on the “Sunshine Coast” that is the Costa del Sol, Brits can easily beat those winter blues. “

A second home under the Spanish sunshine can be of benefit to the whole family as children also are susceptible to the lack of sunshine. Trips to the seaside and alfresco dinners are what British people miss when the winter months arrive, according to a poll conducted by David Lloyd Clubs.
But it’s not just the good weather alone that motivates Brits to seek sunnier climes. For 13 million of us, Christmas is ‘boring’ and a winter break is the ‘perfect escape’, according to discount website MyVouchersCodes.co.uk. Over half (58%) of Brits are more likely to book a trip over Christmas this year.
“Spending Christmas overseas in a hotel can be nice, but to truly experience a Spanish Christmas it is better to feast in your own private home where you are free to decorate the living room and cook in your own kitchen. At this this of year, many clients are purchasing with a view to spending Christmas in their new home in Spain.”
