Retirees trying to decide where to spend their pension years could find property in Spain to be the ideal solution.

Paul Green, head of communications for the Saga Group, notes the different factors that influence where older people might want to visit.

Some simply want to laze on a beach, he admits, while others might want to make use of the extra time at their disposal to explore a destination in detail.

For example, he points out the difficulty that might arise in trying to take a full month off for a holiday during your working years.

However, it seems many people simply do not want to head to exotic destinations, as property in Spain remains the most popular place to spend some time.

A survey from Scottish holiday group Barrhead Travel found Mallorca, the Canaries and mainland Spain to be the top three vacation hotspots among Scottish travellers during summer 2010.
