paltrow speaks positively about living in spain
News Posted On: 06 July 2009
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has spoken positively about her experiences living in property abroad in Spain.
The A-list star revealed that she fell in love with the country when she was 15 and that the culture and old buildings have been a source of fascination for her ever since.
Paltrow, who won an Academy Award for her performance in Shakespeare in Love, commented: "Spain became a second home. It is so different from the US. It seemed to have a history, and the buildings are years and years and years old."
Despite living in London and New York, the movie star said she prefers the Spanish lifestyle to that of the US, reports the Mail Online.
Those thinking of buying property in Spain might welcome Paltrow's claim that the Spanish "seem to enjoy life a little bit more".
She explained that people in the Iberian nation seem to enjoy more time with the family and that there is less reliance on technology such as BlackBerrys.
Spain is a popular destination with the rich and famous who want to take a break from their hectic Hollywood lives.
Among those who have decided to buy property in Spain are Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffiths, who own a holiday home on the Costa del Sol.
