The North of Spain's stunning Costa Blanca reaches from the chocolate heaven of Villajoyosa all the way up to Javea. In the middle lies Benidorm, home to Terra Mitica theme park and hugely popular with British buyers, who have established a European base there that welcomes new expats. Plummeting property prices all over Spain may not have been helpful for the country’s overall economy, but as Spain's financial prospects enjoy a positive recovery, overseas buyers are having a field day too. The Costa Blanca remains Spain’s most popular region of all for both vacationers and second-home buyers to chase the sun all year-round. This unsurprisingly led to an explosion in new build properties prior to the Eurozone crisis, which ultimately resulted in thousands of vacant properties being offered at bargain prices. Alicante and Valencia represent exceptional opportunities for savvy investors looking to turn a rock-bottom priced apartment into a year-round source of income via holiday rentals.
