The prestigious Andalucian Open is [returning to one of Europe’s](https://www.financedigest.com/vodafone-posts-rise-in-q1-revenue-as-europe-returns-to-growth.html "Vodafone posts rise in Q1 revenue as Europe returns to growth") most idyllic golfing destinations, the Costa del Sol, this September.

The event, held between 22nd and 25th September, is set to be broadcasted to over 100 countries and will see pro golfers Lydia Ko and Michele Wie go head to head. Having hosted over fifty tournaments in the last four decades, this region of Spain is more than prepared for the thousands of visitors due to attend this prestigious event.

As the Costa del Sol continues to host international events, the golfing prowess of the area is causing local property to become increasingly desirable to fans of the sport. The latest figures released by the [Real Federación Española de Golf show that 68% of golf courses in Spain now have a direct or indirect link with a real estate](https://www.financedigest.com/how-to-buy-income-producing-real-estate-without-your-own-money-or-credit.html "How to Buy Income-Producing Real Estate Without Your Own Money or Credit") development and it seems those situated on the Costa del Sol are firm favourites.

According to the most recent statistics from property consulting agency Aguirre Newman, the time it takes for a property to go on the market for sale in [Spain and then be purchased by a buyer](https://www.financedigest.com/what-brexit-mean-for-british-buyers-in-spain.html "WHAT BREXIT MEAN FOR BRITISH BUYERS IN SPAIN") has been reduced by more than half this year. Further emphasising the [growing demand](https://www.financedigest.com/finance-teams-using-ai-outperform-peers-as-demand-for-skills-grows.html "Finance Teams Using AI Outperform Peers as Demand for Skills Grows") is the number of new builds being introduced to the market which has increased by nearly 5% in comparison with 2015 figures. The first [rise of this kind since](https://www.financedigest.com/us-european-shares-rise-as-earnings-mixed-euro-dives-to-lowest-since-2017.html "US, European shares rise as earnings mixed; euro dives to lowest since 2017") 2007.
