A house by the sea is also a brilliant investment if you plan to buy to tourist rent, as properties along the Spanish coastline will have high occupancy rates during the summer months, providing a steady stream of extra income.

There is also the likely chance that these properties will increase in value in years to come, especially as Spain remains one of the best places to buy property in Europe, according to Halo Financial.

Alicante’s Mediterranean climate is another factor making it an ideal destination to invest in property, due to its mild winters and hot summers, allowing investors to maximise on tourist rent.
