Andalucía is often spoken about as though it were a single property market.

In reality, nothing could be further from the truth.

Covering almost 90,000 square kilometres, Andalucía is larger than several European countries and contains an extraordinary diversity of climates, landscapes, property types and buyer profiles.

In this edition of Spain Property Insights, Barbara Wood explains why buyers should stop thinking about "the Andalucía property market" and start asking which Andalucía market they are actually entering.

Topics covered include:

• Climate and geographical diversity
• Coastal versus inland locations
• Accessibility and infrastructure
• Different buyer motivations and lifestyles
• Why location matters more than property type

This is the first episode in The Andalucía Story series.

2025 was an all-time record for overseas buyers in Spain. But transaction numbers in Q1 2026 were down compared with the same period in 2025. So what's going on? Why are numbers softening? Why are prices are still rising?

In this 7m:40s insight I examine what the data. The comparison with earlier downturns sounds compelling - it's a bubble, market overheating, etc., but the underlying market structure is very different. And while transaction numbers have recently fallen, my experience on the ground suggests the issue is not a collapse in demand. Enquiry levels remain strong.

The challenge is affordability.

Many buyers are discovering that budgets which would have secured the right property five years ago simply no longer do so today.

In this latest Spain Property Insight I look at:

• Why today's market differs from slowdowns due to over-supply and falling demand
• What the latest transaction figures really mean
• Why affordability may now be the key constraint
