Winter flights to Spain.
During the darker, colder winters of Northern Europe, many look for a winter sun destination among which, unsurprisingly, Spain is one of the most popular choices to take a break, especially for British holidaymakers. According to figures released by the Official Airline Guide (OAG), the UK-Spain market is the leading country pairing for winter flights, and over the past year demand has increased further by over 12%. The above indicates that the number of British travellers to Marbella coming through Málaga Airport is indeed continuing to grow, even though the exchange rate between the pound sterling and the euro is not as favourable as it was in 2015. It seems that you can’t put a price on taking a sunny break in winter and visitors are flocking to the south of Spain, where it is still less expensive to enjoy a meal or a night out than is the case in many parts of the UK. This influx of British visitors is not just good news for the airlines, hotels, resorts, restaurants and the many other businesses that cater for both residents and tourists. It is also great news for the Spanish property market. For example, leading developers on the Costa del Sol report that the demand for winter sun holidays, or buyers who wish to spend the entire winter at a holiday home in Spain is on the up. Which means they are working hard to build new residential complexes to accommodate the demand. It is also true that the traveller who books well in advance can find excellent flight deals between the UK and Spain and have the pleasure of paying much less than visitors coming during the summer season. For many, the winter temperatures are more comfortable as well, and provide an opportunity to spend time outdoors playing golf in a very pleasant climate. There are many other activities that get you out in the winter sunshine too, and if you’re not sporty then the delights of lunching beachside, with sunlight sparkling on the Med, lifts the spirits after days of rain back in the UK. Whether you are looking for short-term holiday accommodation or would like to invest in a second home that you can reside in for the winter months, Altavista Property is here to help you find the best properties for sale in Marbella.
