Why buying a property is only the first step to enjoying Christmas in Spain
There are plenty of reasons to spend Christmas in Spain. The warm temperatures in the south of the county are certainly appealing, while all that sunshine provides a much-needed vitamin D boost. Winter is also the ideal time to travel to and around Spain, with the country being far less crowded than during the hectic summer months.
However, according to leading Spanish home builder Taylor Wimpey España, enjoying Christmas in Spain is about far more than simply buying a second home there – it’s about diving into local traditions and flavours all the way from mid-December to Epiphany on 6 January. (Incidentally, those looking to include a second home in their Christmas shopping this year would do well to check out the key-ready, beachfront apartments at La Recoleta III in Punta Prima on the Costa Blanca. Prices start from €235,000 plus VAT.)
“Christmas is a wonderful time of year to spend in Spain. It’s a season packed with family values, local traditions, exquisite food and the sounds of children singing villancicos – Christmas carols – as well as key religious services. Spanish Christmas markets are also not to be missed.”
Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director of Taylor Wimpey España
