How many searches?
Rightmove says 2.5 million searches are made about property in Spain on its site every month. Anyone looking to travel abroad to do a location recce of potential properties should arrange travel insurance first.
Spain is of course a great destination for snorkelling and suchlike. Don't forget to arrange watersports travel insurance if that floats your boat.
Glaswegians and Liverpudlians are among those most likely to be searching out property in Spain, with Alicante the most searched for destination.
Behind Spain, Britons are searching for properties in France and then Italy.
What the experts say?
