On our real estate website we would like to emphasize that starting a Bed & Breakfast in Spain is not as easy as is sometimes thought. I think of the performance as it is shown in the television program ‘Ik Vertrek’. The proliferation of B&Bs throughout Spain has led to more and more municipalities no longer issuing permits for these types of companies in recent years.
Taking over an existing B&B is also no guarantee of success. In fact, the opposite may be true, since the permit is in the name of the previous owner. A municipality can therefore refuse to put the permit in the name of the new owner, making the B&B effectively illegal. This can be a big disappointment if you have invested a lot of money to take over a B&B.
Do you want to start or take over a B&B in Spain? We can inquire for you at the relevant municipality whether permits are still being issued and what conditions your B &B must meet as a minimum
