Holidaymakers heading to Madrid in Spain could find that despite the weak pound and strong euro, they can have a great holiday without breaking the bank.

Writing for the Telegraph, travel writer Fred Mawer said that the "lively" Spanish capital can be an affordable place to holiday.

Those who regularly jet off to Europe for a holiday in Spanish property could find that buying a home overseas is the ideal move to ensure they can visit the country whenever they like.

Mr Mawer noted that Brits holidaying in Spain could take steps to make the price of their break less, such as taking advantage of lunchtime offers in restaurants and visiting low-cost tapas bars in the evening.

As well as this, art fans taking a break in a Spanish property could be interested to learn that two of Madrid’s best galleries, the Prado and the Reina Sofia, are free to visit at certain times of the day.

Overseas mortgage firm Conti recently revealed that interest in properties in Europe is on the up among Brits, who may have been tempted to invest after an enjoyable holiday.
