Brits heading back to Costa del Sol

Popular overseas holiday destinations such as Benalmadena and Marbella on the Costa del Sol are once again finding favour with Brits.

According to Costa del Villa, the improving exchange rate, England's disappointing World Cup performance and the dismal summer weather have encouraged many people to abandon their staycation plans and head to somewhere sunny, which is good news for people renting out property on the Costa del Sol.

According to figures cited by the firm, Spain saw an 11 per cent increase in overnight guests in July this year compared with the same month in 2009.

This is an encouraging sign, as the number of UK residents going on holidays abroad had dipped last year due to financial worries.

Costa del Sol and other regions of Spain had their profile boosted earlier this year when first lady Michelle Obama and her daughters enjoyed a trip to the popular beach resort of Marbella.
