Despite being arguably the most affected property market throughout the credit crunch, the past 12 months have shown early signs of increased demand throughout the Spanish property market. This trend has been compounded with the recent troubles throughout the Middle East, with large numbers of tourists choosing to visit the more traditional Mediterranean destinations over the break. A recent report from Travel Weekly has stated that over 2 million Britons are expected to head overseas through the Easter break, which Spain now being number one destination.

Amongst the most popular Spanish destinations are the Canary Islands and the Costa del Sol, whilst a large number of people are also looking for city breaks in the more popular destinations including Barcelona, Madrid and Seville. Outside of Spain, other popular destinations include Paris, Rome, Amsterdam and New York.

Understandably, the Easter break is one of the year's busiest periods for the UK airports, with over 600,000 people scheduled to leave from Heathrow, 250,000 from Gatwick and over 150,000 from Stansted. With the royal wedding offering an extra days holiday on top of the extended Easter break, many people have chosen to take advantage of the lower prices on offer from many of the leading tour operators in the UK at present.
