Spain

All sorts of people buy properties abroad and what has been particularly noticeable during recent months is the increasing number of young couples. At the other end of the spectrum, many retired people are choosing to live abroad in sunny climes, influenced, no doubt, by the pensions situation over here and the significantly lower cost of living in many countries abroad.

Cape Verde

Cape Verde comprises an archipelago of 10 islands, located approximately 1000 miles south of the Canaries on the same latitude as Barbados . Originally a Portuguese colony, the islands are now independent and are governed as a multi party democracy.

The climate of the Cape Verde islands is idyllic, with air and sea temperatures 3C to 5C degrees warmer than the Canaries and with little rain falling except in late summer and early autumn. Although the islands enjoy a tropical climate there are no hurricanes and jet lag is minimal as the time is always GMT minus one hour.

Until late 2005 the only international airport was on Sal in north eastern part of the archipelago and this was not served by any direct flights from the UK . Visitors required two or sometimes three flights to reach destinations on other islands. All this is about to change however, as a brand new airport has recently opened on Santiago, the largest of the islands, with direct flights from the UK planned from November 2006. This new and easy access is set to transform the islands into a fist class property investment and tourist destination.
