Well there’s the culture, for starters. Then there’s the beautiful coastal scenery, the gorgeous sun-scorched countryside and the magnificently soulful food. Add in vibrant fiestas, a smile-inducing climate and a couple of Europe’s most enticing city-break destinations, and you can start to see why Spain is so popular.

But we think there’s another reason why so many Brits buy homes in Spain. The fact is, after decades of other British people holidaying there, the place feels kind of familiar.

And in some of the most popular resorts on the Costa del Sol, you’ll see that just about everything has been done to make Brits feel like they’re not actually abroad. Union Jacks flutter outside English pubs and cooked breakfasts are served at cafés by the beach. It’s sunny and warm, but somehow it feels like home.

Home from Home 
And that’s what keeps a lot of people coming back. For all the talk of wanting to get away from it all, plenty of Brits still love to start their day with a nice cup of tea.

Personally, we think the most exciting part about travelling is leaving behind the things you know. But familiarity can be comforting. And when you want good weather and great beaches less than a three-hour flight from home, Spain is always ready to deliver the goods.

Spain will always remain very popular with Brits wanting to buying holiday homes or a permanent home. There are so many beautiful locations to choose from in Spain, and all types of properties available to suit your budget and lifestyle.
