As a lifestyle location Spain is hard to beat in terms of climate and amenities, and there are countless low cost flight options from all over the UK. Properties in Spain still offer long term appeal as holiday, retirement, and investment property." - Homes Overseas magazine." - May, 2009 AUSTRALIA?
