Spain – Market Overview:
Spain is widely recognized as a location that is both safe and highly lucrative to invest in, with annual returns of 20% being reached. Although of course, inevitably there has been a slight slow-down in the market, this is only with regards to its tangible growth, and very healthy capital returns are still being made (in 2005, the average increase in property prices was 13.4% compared to approximately 6% in the UK).
The first reason why investors rightly view Spain as a solid investment is due to its stable economy, particularly in comparison with other worldwide emerging markets that hold a certain amount of risk. Spain repeatedly beats off the competition to be consistently popular with holiday makers, with the main tourist season stretching from March to November; there is great investment potential to be had. Furthermore, more tourists are purchasing a second home in Spain each year to take advantage of the cost of living which still remains much lower than the UK. The rising immigrant population also has an auspicious effect on the growth of the property market as by 2010, 12% of Spain’s population will be immigrants.
Further evidence to support the view that Spain comes as investment opportunity is the ease with which one can acquire property, simple legal procedures are in place with no language skills required and financing is readily available with low interest rates. In short, the support network by a reputable developer for an investor, amateur or experienced, ensures ensure peace of mind.
Off-plan properties are often very popular with investors. One is able to obtain a competitive price from a developer, select the optimum unit within the development and specify the furnishings in order to get a better return on the investment. As the development progresses and the properties get nearer completion their values rise because there is less urgency to sell them and prospective buyers can get a clearer idea of what the final product looks like.

About The Area
About Mataro
Mataró (Latin: Iluro) is the capital and largest city of the comarca of the Maresme, in the province of Barcelona, Catalonia Autonomous Community, Spain. It is located on the Costa Maresme, to the south of Costa Brava.
Mataró dates back to Roman times when it was a village known as "Iluro" or "Illuro." The ruins of a first century BC Roman bath house (known locally as the Torre Llauder) were recently discovered and can be visited. The coastal N-II highway follows the same path as the original Roman road.
Mataró was declared a city by royal decree, even though at the time (nineteenth century) the population fell short of the requirement for city status.
The first railway in Spain was the Mataró Barcelona line which opened on 1848-10-28, led by the Catalan businessman and Mataró native Miquel Biada. This line now forms part of the RENFE R1 suburban service between L'Hospitalet de Llobregat and Maçanet-Massanes. Mataró is also connected with Barcelona and Girona by the C-32 autopista (freeway) and with Granollers by the C-60 autopista.
Mataro is a city to live in. Everything invites one to have an enjoyable time, day and night, specially in the summer. The gastronomic offer is wide and varied and its most popular and traditional dish is the cuttlefish with beans. One can also enjoy its waterfront -with a more than a thousand berth marina and fishing port-, the restaurants, the open air areas to eat and drink and the beaches. The city also has a great commercial offer: the traditional Mediterranean markets and shops where one can find all types of products, international trade marks, souvenirs and design products.
Mataro is a modern city and well-connected to its metropolitan environment and to the rest of the regions in Catalonia. The communication network allows an easy access to the city not only by public transport but by private transport as well. These are the main reasons why Mataro is a city with an excellent quality of life. Its services, the green spaces, its privileged situation by the sea and the wide range of activities, cultural, entertaining, sports and leisure common to dynamic cities, make it a great place to visit and live.

About Barcelona
Barcelona is the capital and most populous city of Catalonia and the second largest city in Spain, with a population of 1,605,602 in 2006. It is located on the Mediterranean coast between the mouths of the rivers Llobregat and Besòs, and is limited to the west by the Serra de Collserola ridge.
Barcelona is a major economic centre, with one of Europe's principal Mediterranean ports, and Barcelona International Airport is the second largest in Spain. Founded as a Roman city, Barcelona became the capital of the Counts of Barcelona and the Crown of Aragon. Besieged several times during its history, Barcelona is today an important cultural centre and a major tourist destination and has a rich cultural heritage. Particularly renowned are architectural works of Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Domènech i Montaner that have been designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
As the capital of Catalonia, Barcelona houses the seat of the Catalan government, known as the Generalitat de Catalunya; of particular note are the executive branch, the parliament and the Supreme Court of Catalonia. The city is also the capital of the county (comarca) of the Barcelonès.
Geography
Barcelona is located on the Northeast coast of the Iberian Peninsula, facing the Mediterranean Sea, on a plateau approximately 5 km (3 mi) wide limited by the mountain range of Collserola, the Llobregat river to the south-west and the Besòs river to the north. This plateau has 170 km² (66 sq mi), of which 101 km² (38.9 sq mi) are occupied by the city itself. It is 160 km (100 mi) south of the Pyrenees and the Catalonian border with France.
Collserola, part of the coastal mountain range, shelters the city to the north-west. Its highest point, the peak of Tibidabo, 512 m (1,680 ft) high, offers striking views over the city and is topped by the 288.4 m (946.2 ft) Torre de Collserola, a telecommunications tower that is visible from most of the city. Barcelona is peppered with small hills, most of them urbanized and that gave their name to the neighbourhoods built upon them, such as Carmel (267 m), Putxet (181 m) and Rovira (261 m). The escarpment of Montjuïc (173 m), situated to the southeast, overlooks the harbour and is topped by Montjuïc castle, a fortress built in the 17/18th centuries to control the city as a replacement for the Ciutadella. Today, the fortress is a museum and Montjuic is home to several sporting and cultural venues, as well as Barcelona's biggest park and gardens.
The city borders are the municipalities of Santa Coloma de Gramenet and Sant Adrià de Besòs to the north; L'Hospitalet de Llobregat and Esplugues de Llobregat to the south; the Mediterranean Sea to the east; and Montcada i Reixac and Sant Cugat del Vallès to the west.
Climate
Barcelona has a Mediterranean climate, with mild, humid winters and warm, dry summers. January and February are the coldest months, averaging temperatures of 10 °C (50 °F). Snowfalls are so rare that they are remembered as special events. July and August are the hottest months, averaging temperatures of 30 °C (86 °F). The highest recorded maximum temperature in the city itself is 38.6 °C. At the Fabra Observatory, situated on the Tibidabo hill, the record summer temperature is 39.8 °C (103.6 °F).
Cityscape - Parks
Barcelona contains 68 municipal parks, divided into 12 historic parks, 5 thematic (botanical) parks, 45 urban parks and 6 forest parks. They range from vest-pocket parks to large recreation areas. The parks cover 10% of the city (549.7 ha/1,358.3 acres), growing about 10 ha (25 acres) per year, with a proportion of 18.1 square metres (195 sq ft) of park area per inhabitant.
Of Barcelona's parks, Montjuïc is the largest, with 203 ha located on the mountain of the same name. It is followed by Ciutadella Park (situated in the place of the old military citadel and which houses the Parliament building, the zoo and several museums; 31 ha/76.6 acres including the zoo), the Guinardó Park (19 ha/47.0 acres), Park Güell (designed by Antoni Gaudí; 17.2 ha/42.5 acres), Oreneta Castle Park (also 17.2 ha/42.5 acres), Diagonal Mar Park (13.3 ha/32.9 acres, inaugurated in 2002), Nou Barris Central Park (13.2 ha/32.6 acres), Can Dragó Sports Park and Poblenou Park (both 11.9 ha/29.4 acres) and the Labyrinth Park (9.10 ha/22.5 acres), named after the garden maze it contains. A part of the Collserolla Park is also within the city limits.
Cityscape - Beaches
Barcelona has seven beaches, totaling 4.5 km (2.8 mi) of coastline. Sant Sebastià and Barceloneta beaches, both 1,100 m (3,610 ft) in length, are the largest, oldest and the most frequented beaches in Barcelona. The Olympic port separates them from the other city beaches: Nova Icària, Bogatell, Mar Bella, Nova Mar Bella and Llevant. These beaches (ranging from 400 to 640 m/1,300 to 2,100 ft) were opened as a result of the city restructuring to host the 1992 Summer Olympics, when a great number of industrial buildings were demolished. At present, the beach sand is replenished from quarries given that storms regularly remove large quantities of material.
