Time and time again, the Costa Blanca proves to be a top destination for those visiting Spain with its mountainous interior, miles of golden sandy beaches and subtropical climate it’s no wonder it remains a top region for those wishing to purchase a holiday home in the sun.
If the figures from Spanish Airports and Air Navigation (AENA) are anything to go by, Alicante could be a safe bet for those with their eye on the Spanish property market. In June, the regional airport recorded an 11% increase in passenger numbers with just shy of 1 million passengers traveling through El Altet airport, up from 826,248 in May 2013.
Looking back across 2013 to date, airport passenger numbers exceeded 4,250,000 in H1 representing a growth of 6.9% on the same period last year. And Spain as a whole is also enjoying higher visitor numbers with the entire airport network recording around 17 million passengers throughout the month of May alone – a rise of 1.9% year-on-year.
Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Manager for Taylor Wimpey España comments,
“With tourism numbers rising and property prices low, there is no surprise that overseas buyers are continuing to flock to Spain. The Costa Blanca in particular is experiencing a revival through foreign purchases of property with numerous nationalities choosing this fantastic region to have a permanent residence in the Spanish sunshine.”
Indeed as far as passenger numbers by nationality are concerned, AENA has reported that the UK led the way with 474,145 passengers flocking through Alicante’s airport, however countries which saw the largest growth during the month of June were Denmark with 90%, Russia with a 43% increase and Norway and Sweden which saw passenger numbers grow by a marked 40%.
Pritchard continues, “Here at Taylor Wimpey España, in line with growing passenger numbers, we have experienced a huge increase of second home buyers from Scandinavia and Russia. The increase in sales just proves that demand for Spanish real estate shows little sign of abating anytime soon, with non-residents of the country dramatically increasing their market share month by month.”
