Spanish property proving popular with Brits

A growing number of Britons have been showing an interest in overseas property in February, new figures have revealed.

According to the latest figures from foreign exchange company Moneycorp, Germany, France, Italy and Ireland all proved popular destinations last month.

Property in Spain also proved to be a popular search, the company added.

Robin Wilson, of Rightmove, said: "Bargain hunters are out in force, primarily focused on Spain and Ireland.

"We've been tipping Germany for a while now and the north eastern tourist hotspot of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern led the charge this month with searches up nearly 50 per cent."

Elsewhere, visitor numbers in Spain are expected to increase over the coming few months once the new terminal at Alicante Airport is opened.

The terminal will increase the capacity of the Airport from nine million to 20 million passengers a year and travellers will be able to take advantage of a whole host of new amenities including shops and places to eat and drink.
