Spain continues to lead the way in European golf luxury. There are resorts for every budget, along every costa and inland too. With most open all year, you can be playing in your own golf club in the winter sun, just a two-hour flight from the UK. Read our suggestions for three areas with the best Spanish golf homes, with some property suggestions too.
Spain’s smaller cities scattered throughout the peninsula, offer a more tranquil, “liveable” lifestyle than some of the costas and bigger cities. The properties are usually more affordable too. Read our guide to seven liveable and loveable, and slightly smaller cities.
Whether you have bought a villa with garden or patio, an apartment with terrace or a finca with land, they all give you the chance to create a lovely outside space for everyone to enjoy.
It helps to learn about Spanish culture and history before making your move here. It will help you understand what makes the Spanish Spanish (and the Catalans Catalan!) and you can brush up on your language skills too. These are my choices, I think they’ll help you learn more about life in Spain. Do let me know if you have your own favourites.
The Costa Daurada (Golden Coast) is a busy and well developed stretch of Catalonia’s coastline. Its sandy beaches combine with fabulous resorts and purpose-built holiday attractions. Barcelona begins this costa, and one of the most exciting cities on the planet is a great place to start our trip.
