What do you want for nowt Arnie?
As this data comes from a official national statistics source, the increase could be caused by the fact, that by a new decree in Andalucia the rental of private rooms has to be announced to and to be licensed by local authorities. Therefor the increase in numbers may simply reflect the fact, that now more private holiday home landlords are known to the statistics office than in the times before the decree.
excellent explanation and probably correct Wolfgang.
