		<title>Unsold Spanish property paradox</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently had a discussion with a buyer who after reading from a variety of sources, which I am happy to say included my blog, thought that property prices along the Costa del Sol would be vastly lower than the reality due to the 1 million unsold newly built properties. Unfortunately all this talk of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.arribaestates.com&blog=4938321&post=1247&subd=arribaestates&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Ryanair creates a new base on the Costa del Sol</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Flipping through the local newspapers that other day I came upon a small article that just shows that even in a downturn, some businesses are still expanding and benefiting the local economy. In this case it is Ryanairs new base at the Malaga airport.

The reason for my interest in this article, is the fact that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.arribaestates.com&blog=4938321&post=1227&subd=arribaestates&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
