The British sun-seeker’s enduring love affair with Spanish property remains alive and well despite the current economic climate, it has been claimed.

Falling prices in areas such as the Costa del Sol are attracting a new wave of holiday home-hunters to the country, many of whom can enjoy bargain prices up to 40 per cent lower than at the property peak of 2006-07, according to the Independent.

Stuart Law, chief executive of international property investment firm Assetz, tells the newspaper: "If someone has set their mind on a holiday home […] then Spain is ideal […] there is massive choice, and also some very good pricing."

Mr Law added that Spanish property also has far more to offer holiday home buyers than many other up-and-coming destinations, particularly Bulgaria.

He said: "Comparing Spain to Bulgaria […] there really isn’t any choice. Spain ticks almost every box and is much closer and easier"

Popular Spanish property region the Costa del Sol is famous for its stunning natural landmarks, which include El Torcal, the Cueva de Nerja and the Desfiladero los Gaitanes.
