IT’S no secret that the price of property in London can be extortionate.

The average price for a 385 square foot one-bedroom flat just outside the city centre is £473,073 (€534,729), according to the Nationwide House Price Index — a staggering 100% higher than the UK national average price of £234,794 (€265,000). But what could you get for the same price in Andalucia’s property hotspots? The answer is probably a LOT more…
