Costa Blanca (Valencia region)

This has long been a favourite destination for British buyers. The weather is warm all year, but the summer heat is more bearable than further south. Plentiful cheap flights from all over the UK are also why more than 30,000 Brits live in Alicante province: it has the highest concentration of Brits in all of Spain.
In reality, the Costa Blanca is made up of two very different coasts. South of Alicante, including places such as Torrevieja (or "Torry" as the resident Brits call it), there are huge swathes of cheap housing built to questionable standards. It may look terrible, but it certainly appeals to thousands of Brits looking for cheap beer and fags in the sunshine. Inland, around towns like Orihuela, it's a similar story. Flats start at £40,000 and detached properties at £80,000.

North of Alicante, especially above Benidorm, you enter a different world. It's the posh Costa Blanca, where quality apartments start at £130,000 and villas at £270,000. Buyers are affluent Spaniards and northern Europeans.

In keeping with other southern coasts, the market is down from the highs of 2003. "There are fewer buyers this year, and they are driving a harder bargain," says David Mear, of estate agents VillaMia. "But the quality appeal of this area means we have a good long-term future."
