SPAIN Property Highlights

Spain benefits from plenty of sun, a large coastal presence with glorious beaches, great regional food and of course plenty of culture. The European Union has identified the Costa del Sol as the fastest growing area in Europe, in terms of population, with the number of people living there expected to grow from 2.5 million to 6.5 million by 2011. A high-speed rail link is being constructed between Madrid and the Costa del Sol and should be completed by the end of 2007. This will reduce journey times to 2.5 hrs (currently 4.25hrs). Rumours are extremely strong with regard to a new Disney theme park being built in Malaga which is very attractive for the rental / investment market on the Costa del Sol.
