- Menorca Property Prices Set For A Price Crash
By: Henry Ashworth | - A Mediterranean holiday home for many Europeans, but especially the British, has been an aspiration achieved by many since the early 1980's, when the UK allowed the free flow of capital, and property price gains allowed many to sell up in Britain and move to Spain and her islands - Menorca for example.
