Press Release Body: To some people, living or holidaying in Spain is a great idea,
with all that sun, sand and surf combined with a lively expat community life. For
some, it\'s a fine way to retire. For others, it\'s a wonderful way to spend part of
their time, even if just for a holiday.

Of course, this is not to everybody\'s taste. While a number do enjoy the hustle and
bustle, the presence of familiar accents and the feeling of being at the heart of it
all, many more will want to find somewhere quieter, without crowds and perhaps more
authentic, with local culture actually getting a look-in.

Contrary to what some may believe such places do still exist on the Spanish coast
property, the Daily Telegraph reports. The paper noted that in the recent
thinkproperty.com\'s Overseas Desirability Report, only nine per cent said they
wanted to go to a tourist area, while the majority were happy to buy a spanish villa
rather than a large one.

The Telegraph said such ambitions of a quiet corner on the coast for a reasonable
price were possible in locations such as the Playa Macenas development on the
Almeria coast, where apartments and three-bed villas separated from the beach by
just a single road can be had for around £188,000 or £306,000 respectively. All this
comes with an eco-friendly hotel, golf course and beach club nearby.

Investors in property looking at this market may make plenty of the eco-friendly
aspect in a broader sense. Property website homesworldwide.co.uk has reported this
week that the Spanish government has set out to make giant strides in making
properties more eco-friendly. While this sort of thing means finding ways to keep
the heat in and installing rooftop wind turbines in the colder and windier UK, in
Spain it means making the most of the sun that draws so many tourists, expats and
investors in the first place.

The upshot of this is that Spain has adopted what Homes Worldwide has called \"the
most advanced solar legislation in the world\", with plenty of grants to homeowners
to fit solar panels. In addition to this, new laws on new-build homes are obliging
developers to fit better heating and cooling systems, including water heating. While
insulation and wind power might seem more relevant in Scotland, these are included
in the Spanish regulations too.

So for investors in Spanish property, it is not only the case that properties can be
had far away from the loud and brash tourist areas of the costas. It is also true
that the green market will be served increasingly well due to the new laws. The
market for seclusion seekers and eco-warriors may be ones of great interest to
investors.
