Property experts expect mallorca to lead spanish property revival

Property buyers are shunning the mainland of Spain and looking instead at the Balearic island of Mallorca that has seen enquiries and visitor numbers increase in the last 12 months, according to a leading developer.

The reason, according to Ignacio Osle, sales and marketing director of Taylor Wimpey de España, is that the island offers something for everyone from sandy beaches to idyllic coves, traditional architecture and wide range of sports and leisure activities.

Palma de Mallorca, the island’s capital, has also recently been voted one of the five leading Spanish towns for travel and tourism in 2010 by Exceltur.

Over 21 million passengers pass through Son San Joan airport at Palma de Mallorca year making it Spain’s third busiest airport and in summer, the busiest. In response to demand numerous airlines have increased frequency and started new routes to the island making accessibility even easier.
