Spain 'offers family-focused lifestyle'
04 April 2008
One of the main reasons that Spain is so popular with people from Britain and elsewhere is the relaxed, family-oriented lifestyle that it offers, it has been claimed.
Paul Collins of BuyAssociation, a website that advises people considering a move abroad, said that Spain is the most popular tourist destination for Brits, partly due to its culture and attitude towards life.
He suggested that these concepts may not be as prominent or noticeable in the UK as they once were.
'One of the attractions for a lot of people is the fact that the Spanish community and lifestyle is really easy to get into,' Mr Collins said.
'People enjoy the relaxed state of life and it's very much family-focused - that's something that people miss from the UK and it's something that they like to get involved in when they go to Spain.'
The popularity of Spain as a holiday destination has led to it being one of the top countries for British investors in overseas property, with a report from Holiday Rentals showing that the country accounted for nearly a third of all British-owned holiday homes in Europe last year.
