In Andalucía, there has not been further development of this type of touristic resources since 1999. Touristic apartments (which are block of units under a same/only management company) were under precise regulation in 2010.

The only rules for Holiday houses or touristic rental houses in Andalucía are those few articles of a Tourism Regional Law dated 1999

According to the 1999Law, holiday rental houses are those which offer a lodging service and are offered to the public for a seasonal use or are occupied for touristic reasons once or more times a year. The rentals are for the whole house and not for rooms.  

Rural touristic houses are, by definition of this Law, these same units in the rural area. Just lodging service is provided.

These touristic houses need to have enough furniture and house ware for immediate use. A decree (still not existing) will regulate minimum requirements.
