A Way of Life Favored by Brits When Buying Abroad
Life on Holiday
What would life be like being on a permanent holiday? Perhaps it is the pristine sapphire blue waters and fine sandy beaches. On the other hand, maybe it’s the delectable foods prepared with only the freshest seafood, fruits and vegetables with life slowing down so one can enjoy friends and family in an outdoor café over a bottle of the finest Sangria. It may be the spectacular sunsets over the Mediterranean. Just ask any Brit - they can give you a hundred more reasons why Spain is one of their most favored locations, not only for vacationing but for buying property abroad as well. Due to the current pricing and availability of undervalued properties in Spain, the market is primed for purchasing Spanish properties at discounted prices. This is just one of the many reasons Brits favor Spain as one of the best locations to buy abroad.
Hablas español?
Castilian Spanish is still the official national language in Spain. Some areas include co-languages, such as Catalan, Valencian, Basque and Galician. Some of the “smaller languages” are regional variations of Castilian with some blending of Portuguese and Italian influence and even Arabic.
Sports Craze
Bullfighting Festivals are a major part of Spanish Culture. Typically, bullfighting season in Spain runs from April through September and there are bullfights almost every day during the festival. The most famous of these is the Pamplona Running of the Bulls at San Fermin each July. It has been labeled as one of the most insane and chaotic experiences anyone could possibly have.
The siesta has, given way to modernization, computers, technology and too much to see and do. Although the lifestyle and pace are more relaxed and leisurely than other countries, Spain has a lot to offer in entertainment. Spain has become a land of sports-lovers and there is no shortage of choices - the top sports in Spain include soccer, football, cycling, basketball, tennis, golf, skiing, and Formula One racecar driving.
Having produced several Tour de France winners, winning 5 Davis Cups in tennis, taking a Silver Medal in the Olympics basketball match against the U.S., and two-time world champions in Formula One Racing, Spain has emerged as one of the most competitive countries in global sports competition.
Perfection
Sitting on the balcony outside the master suite of your hillside villa, enjoying the magnificent sunset while savoring some locally grown grapes, cheeses and breads along with your favorite wine and good company - could there be a more perfect way to end the day?
