Clover Spanish Property - Villa Sales Spain

The news from the Spanish property market is not all that the doom and gloom merchants would have you believe. Despite negative press and media coverage of the Spanish property market, the higher quality Spanish Properties are not only holding their value but actually saw a recorded annual growth of 7.8% for properties in the Almeria province of Southern Spain.

There are plenty of bargains and reduced price properties for sale in Spain but in general these “bargains and cheaper Spanish properties” are inferior properties of a lesser quality and located in the less desirable area of Spain and over developed towns and Costas.

The elections to the regional parliament of Andalucia took place on 9 March 2008 and the outcome is now known.  Although the status quo was largely maintained, there was a marked shift in voting which sets up the prospect of an historic win for the opposition in the not too distant future if they can consolidate and build on recent progress.

There are a total of 109 parliamentary seats in the chamber, representing the people of Andalucía’s eight provinces. Each province is allocated a minimum of eight seats, with the remaining 45 seats distributed amongst the provinces in line with population figures.  More than 6.2 million people were eligible to vote in the 2008 regional election and, although slightly down on last year’s figure, turnout was high at 73.65%.
