Rural land prices continue to rise sharply

Rural land prices in some parts of Spain continue to appreciate at the same rate as last year, reports the Spanish daily ‘ABC’. According to the article experts agree that rural land near to big cities or in areas with good tourism potential is still an excellent investment. The price per hectare for rural land has increased by 30% per year for the last 2 years, but only in areas with the right climate and other conditions suitable for recreation. Though recreational buyers have been driving the market for attractive rural land, 2 other factors are now adding to demand for rural property in Spain: solar energy farms, and cereal farms for biodiesel fuel.
