With the summer holidays over and most people back at work, the relaxed feeling of being abroad can seem an all too distant memory. But the delights of a Spanish lifestyle, such as delicious tapas and all year round sunshine, don't have to be a once a year occurrence.

Lisa Griffiths, European sales and marketing manager at Taylor Woodrow de España explains: “Many people returning from their summer holiday make plans to improve their quality of life, but when work starts again the good intention is often overlooked. Living in a warm Mediterranean climate has proven health benefits and many of our customers come to us looking not just for a home in Spain but a complete change in their lifestyle.

“Whether you're looking for a second home to visit regularly or to move to Spain permanently, we have properties in the Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca and the Balearics which offer the ultimate in the Mediterranean way of life."

To help make the decision a little easier, Taylor Woodrow de España has put together a list of reasons why moving to Spain can give you a healthier lifestyle.
