Holidays in Spain encourage change. Poles have recently bought so many houses here
Spain is one of the favorite European destinations of Poles planning their holidays. New data show that our compatriots are becoming more and more bold in deciding to invest there.
Poles are increasingly willing to choose Spain not only for holidays. Some want to try life with their family abroad and in a milder climate. Others plan to invest in purchasing real estate. Recently, Mallorca Daily Bulletin reported that our compatriots were among the top ten foreign buyers of real estate in Majorca. They cited the political situation in Europe as one of their motivations.
This is how much real estate Poles bought in Spain
The proportions are similar throughout Spain. The report by Registradores de España shows that in the third quarter of 2025, Poles again ranked 8th among the nationalities most frequently purchasing real estate on the Iberian Peninsula. In 2024, they purchased over 4,000 properties in Spain, which was the highest number of such investments in history.
The idea of living in Spain often comes from a successful holiday.
“The sea, mountains, numerous monuments, golf courses and restaurants make it difficult to get bored here. Moreover, on the coast we have over 300 sunny days a year. It is no wonder that Poles are looking for a place for their second home here. They often simply come for holidays, admire the region and decide to live or invest in it,” said Renata Lorens from the International Investment Marbella real estate agency.
The greatest interest among all foreign buyers was in apartments and houses in Andalusia (34,601 transactions), Catalonia (27,733), the Valencian Community (27,578) and Madrid and the surrounding area (20,081).
Locals love Seville
The capital of Andalusia – Seville may be of particular interest to people looking for a place to live abroad. A survey conducted by Time Out shows that its inhabitants feel happiest in Europe. As many as 86 percent of respondents said that they find joy in everyday life, and their neighbors seem to have a positive attitude. Valencia and Bilbao in the Basque Country also scored well.
