Tourist spending in Spain rockets, as Taylor Wimpey España shines the spotlight on Punta Prima

Tourist spending in Spain rockets, as Taylor Wimpey España shines the spotlight on Punta Prima

  • Tourist spending up 12.4% to average of €155 per day (INE)
  • Costa Blanca is 6th most cost-effective holiday destination in Europe (Post Office)
  • Taylor Wimpey España focused on Punta Prima after 60 years of successful building in Spain

The latest figures from Spain’s National Statistics Institute (INE) show that tourist spending rocketed towards the end of last year. Average daily expenditure in November 2018 was 12.4% higher than for the same month in 2017, standing at €155. The Post Office Holiday Barometer reports that £83.58 is enough to cover a two-course lunch, three-course dinner with wine and assorted essentials (drinks, sun cream, insect repellent) in Spain’s Costa Blanca region, so a daily spend of €155 is more than enough to enjoy the area thoroughly.

Average temperatures in the Costa Blanca at that time of year stand at around 16°C; even in January the average is 11°C, with a high of 16°C. Add to that the plentiful availability of quick, cheap flights, a range of superb golf courses and one of the world’s healthiest and tastiest cuisines, and the lure of Spain to British holidaymakers in the winter months is not difficult to understand.

Indeed, many of those drawn to Spain end up wanting more than just a week or two in the sun, which is why leading Spanish home builder Taylor Wimpey España has enjoyed 60 years of success building in areas like the Costa del Sol, Mallorca and the Costa Blanca.

The Costa Blanca is such a wonderful holiday hotspot. From the soft white sands of its beaches to the superb local food, it is an area that evokes a strong desire to return year after year in many visitors. That’s why it has been one of our key areas of focus over the past 60 years – and why it will remain so going forward.”

The pretty seaside town of Punta Prima is currently home to two Taylor Wimpey España developments.

La Recoleta III, meanwhile, offers beautiful apartments with access to the beach and sea just a few meters away. Wide avenues lead down to the sands, in between the Mediterranean-style buildings and immaculate garden areas. Individual apartments are well-designed and feature private terraces, while the penthouses provide spacious solariums and outstanding views. Prices start from €219,000 plus VAT.
