• Foreign tourist spending on the Costa Blanca increases by 17.6% in comparison to last year (Central Statistics Unit)
• Tourists to the Valencia Region are staying 6.7% longer than those who visited in 2015 (Central Statistics Unit)
• The Costa Blanca continues to be a popular area for prospective buyers, with many making a number of visits before deciding on a property (Taylor Wimpey España)

It seems Spain is still a firm favourite with holidaymakers from around the globe, with the beautiful Costa Blanca continuing to attract a wealth of visitors. The most recent figures released by the Central Statistics Unit show that the amount spent in the region of Valencia, by visitors from overseas, is calculated to have been an impressive 785 million euros. This is an increase of 17.6% in comparison to the same month last year.

The rise in spending throughout the Comunidad Valenciana (Valencia Region) could partly be due to tourists deciding to stay longer in comparison to 2015, 6.7% longer in September alone. And as many visitors extend their trips to sunny Spain, a growing number of them are deciding on a more permanent purchase.

Leading Spanish homebuilder Taylor Wimpey España have certainly experienced an influx of interest for the Costa Blanca region and have this week launched their newest phase of development at the Brisas de Alenda Golf residential complex in Elche, Alicante.

This private complex of beautiful 3 bedroom townhouses combines the tranquil area of the neighbouring Alenda Golf Course with the more lively beachfront nightlife easily accessible in nearby Alicante.

Excited to unveil this latest phase of development, Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director of Taylor Wimpey España, comments,

“Not only are more people visiting Spain but many are now being wooed by its charm and staying longer than before. The Costa Blanca continues to be an extremely popular area for prospective buyers, with many making a number of visits before final decisions are made on property.”

However it’s not just the sun, sea and sangria that is appealing to overseas buyers, the Costa Blanca’s first class golfing facilities are the perfect setting for all those keen to tee off as often as possible. The Alenda Golf Course, next to the Brisas de Alenda Golf development, was recommended for the Golfers’ Choice leading golf courses award for 2016, offering golfers a picturesque 18 holes with a par of 72.

Marc continues,

“We are thrilled to launch a new phase of development at Brisas de Alenda Golf as demand for the region continues to grow, and look forward to welcoming new residents to the site.”

All the Brisas de Alenda townhouses have fully-furnished kitchens, equipped with a vitro-ceramic hob, extractor hood and oven as well as air-conditioning with pre-installation of heat pump, and fitted out wardrobes. Each property is split across 2 storeys with 2 bathrooms and 1 additional toilet, as well as a terrace, private garden area and parking place.

Perfect for all day dining, the terraces are either surrounded by the spectacular Sierra de las Aguilas Mountains, or the stunning view over the golf course. Within the Alenda Golf complex residents will have access to a small supermarket, restaurant and bar, clubhouse, fitness centre and paddle tennis courts.

• Promising future for Spain with forecast 11% increase in international house sales (Kyero.com)
• Strong correlation between tourist visits and house sales to international buyers (Kyero.com)
• “For European second home buyers, Spain is a short-haul destination and ideal location for a holiday property” (Taylor Wimpey España)

It’s no secret that Spain’s tourism sector is on course to have yet another record-breaking year. Always a firm favourite with visitors from around the globe, it seems those holidaying in the European hotspot are now returning home having purchased their very own Spanish bricks & mortar.

The latest data released from Spanish property portal Kyero.com highlights the paralleled growth between tourist visits and house sales.

Thanks to the increasing number of tourists keen to experience all that Spain has to offer, Kyero.com predict that house sales too will rise this year (2016), a substantial 11% in comparison to last year. Indeed the volume of visitors to Spain has already reached a record high, as 10.1 million tourists arrived during August 2016; a 5.8% increase on the same month last year and according to the National Statistics Institute.

And it is the demand for Spanish property from overseas buyers that continues to flourish. According to Property Registrars, an impressive 17.5% of property bought in Spain was by foreign investors during the first half of 2016. The market share of foreign buyers in Q2 was 13.4%, almost a record high, with British buyers being the largest group with 20% of the foreign buyer market.

With tourist figures and house purchases set to thrive simultaneously, Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director of leading Spanish homebuilder Taylor Wimpey España, shares his optimism for Q4 2016 and into 2017 commenting,

“As a holiday destination, Spain is more popular than ever and an increasing number of those visiting are falling in love with the country and looking to acquire a more permanent position there. For the majority of European second home buyers, Spain is considered a short-haul destination and therefore an ideal location for a holiday property.”

During August, according to the Spanish Central Statistics Unit, almost 8 million tourists chose a short break in Spain, a significant increase of 16.9% from last year. This growing popularity of shorter visits to Spain will further strengthen the holiday home market, with the ease of flying to Spain for a long, sun filled weekend of culture and relaxation allowing buyers to make the most of their second property year round.

Marc continues, “We have definitely witnessed an increase in visitors to Spain in short bursts and those who like to enjoy the country for long weekends. The demand for short breaks away means that the convenience of a second home that is ready and waiting for that stress-relief weekend in the sun is a highly attractive option.”

A gorgeous example of an ideal Spanish second home is available through Taylor Wimpey España. Panorama Mar is a new frontline development situated on Punta Prima Beach in Torrevieja. This private residential complex offers an array of 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, all designed for both comfort and convenience, with 2 bathrooms and an underground parking space. Each apartment in the first phase is south facing and therefore blessed with spacious terraces and stunning views over the Mediterranean Sea.

With prices starting from just €234,000 +VAT, every resident will be able to use the three communal swimming pools and Jacuzzi facility, as well as direct access to the beach promenade. Whilst being an area of natural beauty right on the waterfront, Punta Prima is also blessed with excellent transport links. The San Javier Airport in Murcia is only a 30-minute drive and Alicante’s International Airport is just 45 minutes away. Both local airports offer a varied choice of direct flights to the UK and Europe, perfect to facilitate that short weekend break in the Spanish sun.

• 68% of golf courses in Spain directly or indirectly linked with a real estate development (Real Federación Española de Golf)
• Time it takes to sell a property in the Costa del Sol has reduced by over half (Aguirre Newman)
• Taylor Wimpey España open new show home at Horizon Golf development in Mijas

The prestigious Andalucian Open is returning to one of Europe’s most idyllic golfing destinations, the Costa del Sol, this September.

The event, held between 22^nd and 25^th September, is set to be broadcasted to over 100 countries and will see pro golfers Lydia Ko and Michele Wie go head to head. Having hosted over fifty tournaments in the last four decades, this region of Spain is more than prepared for the thousands of visitors due to attend this prestigious event.

As the Costa del Sol continues to host international events, the golfing prowess of the area is causing local property to become increasingly desirable to fans of the sport. The latest figures released by the Real Federación Española de Golf show that 68% of golf courses in Spain now have a direct or indirect link with a real estate development and it seems those situated on the Costa del Sol are firm favourites.

According to the most recent statistics from property consulting agency Aguirre Newman, the time it takes for a property to go on the market for sale in Spain and then be purchased by a buyer has been reduced by more than half this year. Further emphasising the growing demand is the number of new builds being introduced to the market which has increased by nearly 5% in comparison with 2015 figures. The first rise of this kind since 2007.

Seeking to provide the perfect property for golf lovers, leading Spanish homebuilder Taylor Wimpey España has recently announced that the highly anticipated show house within their Horizon Golf community is now available to view.

Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey España believes golf properties are favourable with holiday home buyers and investors alike. He explains,

“For fans of the sport, golf properties provide the idyllic base for any holiday or retirement plans with high quality facilities right on the doorstep. Buyers should consider properties near a golf course that is also considered a resort, offering an array of additional facilities to keep the non-golf players in the party equally as happy. Down on the Costa del Sol, also known as the ‘Costa del Golf’, the plentiful sunshine and dry, warm days allow for visits throughout every season or equally an exciting rental opportunity.”

Situated in the beautiful valley of Mijas, Horizon Golf is Taylor Wimpey de España’s second development at La Cala Resort within the complex’s famous Campo Asia golf course.
