The rise of Spain’s north as an attractive vacation destination

Why Galicia and Asturias are the new destination for summer vacations and offer an interesting real estate market.

In recent years, there has been a remarkable shift in the Spanish tourism landscape.
The north of Spain, once overshadowed by the popular Mediterranean coastal regions, is increasingly proving to be the destination of choice for travelers looking for relaxation, authenticity and nature experiences.
This development is due to a number of factors, including climate change, which is constantly presenting the south of Spain with new challenges.

The effects of climate change are becoming increasingly noticeable on the Mediterranean coast.
With less rainfall, rising temperatures and water scarcity, the former charm of sun-drenched beaches is being tarnished by heatwaves of up to 40 degrees, mass tourism and overcrowded coastlines.
The summer months are becoming increasingly less attractive as holidaymakers look for alternative destinations that offer relaxation away from the hustle and bustle.
This is where the northern regions of Spain come into play.
Galicia and Asturias, known for their pleasant temperatures, lush green landscapes and pristine lakes, offer a welcome change from the crowded beaches of the south.
Nature-loving travelers prefer to explore the unspoiled beauty of these regions, far away from crowded tourist hotspots. Another attraction of the north is the welcoming locals who are proud of their rich culture and traditions.
In Galicia and Asturias, visitors have the opportunity to enjoy authentic Spanish cuisine, experience local festivals and customs and enjoy the warm hospitality of the locals who love to share their heritage with visitors. The increasing popularity of the north of Spain also applies to the real estate market.
Property purchase prices in these regions are affordable and attractive compared to the overheated markets of the south, offering excellent value for money.
It is no surprise that more and more people are discovering this hidden treasure in the north and choosing it for a real estate investment.
Galicia and Asturias offer just that: an escape from the hustle and bustle, a return to nature and an attractive real estate market.
