The relationship between Flexible Accommodation and condominiums is a point of constant debate. Although a total ban on holiday rentals is not an easy option for condominiums, the law does provide them with tools to limit and regulate their activity. Understanding the legal framework is key for owners and communities seeking to coexist harmoniously.

The debate on Madrid's Reside Plan often focuses on the restrictions on Flexible Housing, but its real potential lies in the opportunities it opens up for urban revitalisation. The plan offers a lever to transform obsolete buildings, encourage affordable housing and create a more balanced and resilient city.

The Flexible Accommodation sector in Andalusia is undergoing a significant restructuring. The Junta has cancelled nearly 10,300 registrations of tourist accommodation, a decisive move to rebalance the residential and tourist market. This action underlines the firmness of the administrations in the management of an accommodation model in constant evolution.

Flexible Accommodation in Europe is experiencing a fascinating contradiction. While Eurostat data confirms an all-time record in overnight stays through online platforms, driven by a more active European traveller than ever before, regulatory pressure is intensifying, with Spain announcing new restrictions. Against this backdrop, investment capital is betting heavily on the residential and hotel sector as a haven of value.

The Spanish non-hotel sector closed May with notable growth, led by the dynamism of tourist flats and rural tourism. This progress, which exceeds the pre-pandemic figures, underlines the capacity of Flexible Accommodation to attract more travellers and consolidate seasonally adjusted demand, diversifying supply and destinations.

Vacation rentals continue to redefine the Spanish real estate market, establishing themselves as a flexible accommodation option with higher returns than traditional rentals. A recent report by Fotocasa reveals how the supply has grown driven by this attractive profitability, while regulation intensifies the tension in a sector dominated by small owners.

The Andalusian region has been crowned as the most demanded destination in Europe for Flexible Accommodation, surpassing iconic locations such as the Côte d'Azur or Catalonia. With a record 26.6 million overnight stays in 2025, the sector is proving to be a key economic pillar, dominated by small owners and in the midst of adapting to a new regulatory framework.

The Community of Madrid is preparing for a profound modernisation of its urban planning framework with a new draft Land Law. This initiative seeks to unify regulations, streamline procedures and provide greater legal certainty, opening the door to more flexible planning adapted to new residential realities, including Flexible Housing.

Barcelona's plan to scrap tourist flat licences is under intense scrutiny. A PwC report commissioned by Apartur warns of a devastating economic blow - €1.9 billion and 40,000 jobs - while arguing that the measure will barely scratch the surface of the housing crisis, as these properties represent only 1% of the city's residential stock.

The implementation of the Unique Tenancy Registration Number (NRUA) for Flexible and Seasonal Accommodation is creating a major bottleneck and frustration. StayAlliance reports "persistent failures" in the system, which is paralysing the legal operation of thousands of dwellings and threatens significant damage to the sector, right in the middle of the peak season.
