| | Eco-Friendly Homes Prove Popular In Spain | | 2008-07-02 16:09:00 | | The maturing of the Spanish real estate market and movements made away from mass urbanisation and high-rise property development may well be impacting negatively on the rate at which such formerly constructed accommodation is being sold, but in direct parallel it is having a positive effect on the quality of homes being constructed for the lifestyle market. The Spanish property development frenzy of the last decade that resulted in massive resort-style developments being constructed for those who wanted an accessible holiday apartment in the sun, or an affordable fly-to-let investment purchase, are proving less popular these days as other property markets open up and offer a more affordable choice buyers. Meanwhile, the evergreen and enduring appeal of Spain as a stunning, tried and tested lifestyle destination for retirees, relocating expatriates and those in search of the good life means there is now an emerging trend in those wanting to buy quality Spanish property.

| | Spain Car Rental What To Expect | | 2008-04-01 09:59:23 | | Looking for a car rental Spain has to offer? With the help of a car rental, you can travel throughout the countryside. You don’t have to wait for the bus or the train to provide you with the ability to do and see what you came to see when you have your own vehicle to drive. You will find that it is not all that bad in pricing, either. A week’s worth of a car rental is just a bit more than a rail pass for a single person. For those where there are two or more people in the group, this is a savings of a significant amount. What’s more, this is still the case when fuel is included in the price. For those that want to save money on their holidays, try selecting a smaller car as the more luxurious and roomier the car is, the most the fee for renting it. To save on fuel, use a diesel car. The price of gas in Spain is higher than it is overseas especially in North America. Even more so, you can find a variety of fuel efficient vehicles available to you here as well. You can also save wh... | | By: Cheap Car Rental Tips | | |

| | Spain's property market suffers meltdown | | 2008-03-30 03:15:00 | | Spain's once-booming property market is in freefall, official statistics have revealed for the first time.The announcement that house sales had plunged has dashed government hopes for a "soft landing" in the sector that has driven the Spanish economy for more than a decade.The buying and selling of homes fell by 27 per cent in January compared with the same period last year, Spain's National Statistical Institute (INE) announced yesterday.

| | Investors craving property in Spain should wait out slump | | 2008-03-19 15:16:00 | | Spanish property has long been favored by second home owners from all reaches of the world. The Southern European country was the second most popular destination for international vacationers in 2006, behind France, according to the World Tourism Organization (WTO).
