Overseas property investors have been advised that Spain offers a wide choice of flats at affordable prices.

Travel writer Stephen Morgan said that the country was ideal for different types of buyers, such as those purchasing a holiday home and people who wanted an investment property.

He highlighted many of the attractions of the Spanish market, such as its good climate for 12 months of the year and outstanding natural beauty.

Spain also had much to recommend it to city dwellers, as its major urban settlements were some of the most "sophisticated" cities in the world.

Although the vast majority of tourists and residents come to Spain to laze about on the beach, there's much more to the country than the coastal resorts and island entertainment.

This comes after Spain was recently praised by UK newspaper the Telegraph, which said that it had become a "lifestyle destination" for British property buyers.

Live or die 4 Dixie! Cheers!!!
