As autumn starts to turn the weather to a rather chilly temperature here in the UK, we love hearing the news from our friends in Spain about the many bright and sunny festivals taking place across the country rounding up their summer festival season.
I posted on our Facebook page last week about the fantastic festival that is ‘Cava Week’ in Barcelona, with the crowning of a Cava Queen, a Cava train journey and a whole week dedicated to the sparkly, golden drink. We would happily join in those festivities any day, but that isn’t the only festival to happen in October in Spain.
The Feria de San Pedro de Alcantara , or the San Pedro Fair, started yesterday in San Pedro de Alcantara in Marbella, to celebrate the Patron Saint of San Pedro. This festival turns the whole area in to a hive of activity with fireworks, concerts, and dancing.
The women and children dress up in their flamenco dresses and flowers in their hair and flamenco music plays as the residents and visitors sip wine and dine on tapas. A parade is held throughout the streets bringing the Patron Saint to the people. It is a fantastic festival, lasting until Monday, so a great weekend is on the cards for anyone in the area.
San Pedro de Alcantara is a beautiful location with so much to offer, beautiful beaches and beach side Chiringuitos, fabulous festivals, and a visit to Bora Bora beach club is a must!
The properties in the Marbella are equally as special, the area of Marbella is famous for being one of the most glamorous locations in Spain. It is a fair ground for the rich and famous and great for celebrity spotting. The port of Puerto Banus is a must see for visitors as it harbors some of the world’s biggest yachts and is surrounded by magnificent scenery.
Although, if the glitz and glamour isn’t for you then there are also beautiful, typically Spanish and unspoiled parts to this area too.
So if the weather is making you feel a little low, it’s maybe time for a trip to Spain for a fiesta or two….. there is nothing better to remove those winter blues! Browse at your own leisure through the latest properties in Marbella.

This weekend just gone passed in the blink of an eye, and the reason why….we were exhibiting at A Place in the Sun Live, at the Birmingham NEC. It was absolutely fantastic, and as one of our first major exhibitions of the year, an unforgettable experience for Your Place in Spain Ltd.
We understand the show brought in over 6500 visitors over the three days, which as you can imagine, created such a buzz of energy. The exhibition was very much dominated by Spain, although countries such as Italy, Portugal, Turkey, and America were prevalent too.
One thing that was extremely obvious to us was how very well received the information about buying safely overseas was, and how educated customers are to the buying process and the importance of buying safely. The A Place in the Sun team, including Amanda Lamb, Jasmine Harman and Jonnie Irwin, sat down with visitors in ‘The Hub’ to discuss the most important factors in purchasing properties overseas.
As buying safely is the number one message that Your Place in Spain Ltd deliver to our clients, it was fantastic for us to hear visitors to our stand asking all the right questions, taking great interest in our official membership of the AIPP (Association of International Property Professionals) and wanting to speak to Independent solicitors ahead of purchasing property.
As a UK based company, our aim is to be there to guide our clients though a purchasing process that can sometimes be confusing. It is so important to us that no client comes across any surprises whilst purchasing a property. As in every country, clients need to take good advice and follow the correct procedures to buy safely and with confidence.
We carry that message with us wherever we go, and we can’t wait for the next exhibition. For information on our service, send us an e-mail and talk to us today.

Read moreThis week our focus is on adding the final touches to the preparation for A Place in the Sun Live property exhibition, taking place later in the week, from Friday 3rd October – Sunday 5th October at Birmingham NEC Arena.
We’re really excited to be at the show this year, and it is a fantastic opportunity for us to get out there and amongst the clients. All of the evidence points to the fact that Spain is well and truly back on the radar! With over 3000 properties, and a number of feature properties to show off on our stand, we can’t wait to present what our portfolio has to offer.
We pride ourselves on being extremely transparent with our clients, and it is our priority to make sure that you buy safely. A major part of our service, apart from finding clients their perfect property, is making sure that the purchase process includes no surprises and is carried out in the most professional way possible.
We want to make sure that you know everything that there is to know about purchasing a property, and so this is a great opportunity for us to meet people looking to buy and to pass on our message of buying safely, and telling clients what we recommend, and what we believe they should do.
Our feature properties are ready and waiting to be put out on the stand, and there are some outstanding properties in some beautiful locations on offer including Costa Blanca North and South, Costa Almeria, Murcia and Marbella. A huge factor in what makes these properties so special is their very attractive prices, especially those properties that are a massive 50/60/70 % cheaper than when they originally appeared on the market.
If you’re looking for your own place in Spain then this is such a good time to get out and about and see what is on offer. We will be there, and we look forward to introducing you to our service. See us at stand C61, we’re looking forward to it!

In our last blog we told you about the offers available on Terrazas de la Torre Golf Resort in Murcia. We traveled to Murcia last week and based ourselves in that very beautiful part of Spain and took the time out to explore the development and catch up with where it is up to.
Terrazas is a diamond, a resort that stands out as one that has so much potential and so much to offer its residents from just €59,000. Don’t forget, our exclusive offer of 750 euro cash back on completion still stands on these when you purchase using the YPiS purchase process!
In our opinion the Polaris World resorts bring a certain luxury to the golfing world, but these resorts are not just for golfers alone.
24 hour security, swimming pools, gardens, terraces, views over the golf course, restaurants and bars, and a supermarket on site, are just some of the highlights of this gorgeous resort that make it so special.
The security element is one that brings peace of mind and safety. A ground floor apartment gives you a garden, with just a few minutes stroll to one of the swimming pools, whilst a top floor apartment provides you with beautiful views. This is a quiet and peaceful resort away from the noise of developments closer to town centers and beaches.
For golfers this is a true paradise, with a spectacular 18-hole golf course designed by Nicklaus Design. It is the most recent project in which Polaris World has put into practice all the experience of its five previous resorts.

A bedroom in the penthouse apartments
Perhaps you would prefer the penthouse apartments on the golf course overlooking the stunning course, or is a magnificent penthouse apartment on the Islas more for you, with infinity pools over the lake and the best views of the resort surrounded by water and greenery.
What we can promise is that these prices won’t be this low for much longer, and these apartments are being snapped up! For latest availability then send us an e-mail to enquiries@yourplaceinspain.com
