In addition, more women (57 per cent) than men (43 per cent) would most like to live in Spain and one in ten (10 per cent) of all those wanting to live there were from the South East, followed by North West and London at 9 per cent.
Ian Smith, head of European operations at Halifax, said: "It has long been assumed that only retirees are buying property in Spain, but this is far from the case, as it is also a popular location amongst younger age groups."
