Cost of Living in Santiago de Compostela, Spain

- As a physician working remotely and living here in Santiago de Compostela it's relatively easy to afford this lifestyle. It's not just for the money, of course. The lifestyle of a digital nomad physician here is unbelievable.
I tried the same in Seville and Barcelona and it's hard to compare the quality of life here to there.

Hello! New viewer here. I think I remember you saying in one of your videos that you initially had Sanitas but switched to Adeslas. Would you mind sharing the reason and what your experience with each has been? I'm going to be in Valencia on a study visa and was told to get Sanitas for my insurance due to the relationship my school has with Sanitas, but I was curious to find out the quality, cost, etc. differences. Thanks for your help!
Hello. I switched because my bank offered a slightly better deal - maybe 5 euros a month. It won't make a difference which you choose among these 2 because they are the top insurance companies. That said, much like the US this insurance thing is a bit of a shit show and not all providers accept it and many don't like it because the reimbursement is low. The good news is that paying cash for services here is extremely affordable. 300 euros for an MRI and 80 for a visit with a orthopedic surgeon and 30 for physical therapy.
@@DigitalNomadPhysicians Thank you, this is helpful to know! So maybe I could aim for the less expensive of the 2 and expect to pay out of pocket for anything that's really urgent or important for me to go out of network. I had a similar experience in Mexico; seeing an English speaking dermatologist at a beautiful facility OOP was $40; my copay in the US is $60! Thanks again.
That's I think the best idea. Both are good so choosing the cheaper option affords you the opportunity to save money now and decide if you need to make a change later.
Hi, there!
Out of curiosity, do you think it is possible for a couple to spend 200 euro or less on groceries (excluding meat and dairy products)?
Fruits and vegetables are very cheap and so are dried items like rice and beans. For 50 euros a month you could feed the both of you. That would mean you are buying things in bulk which is very easy to do if you talk to any of the local farmers. But that's here in Santiago. If you are talking about buying at a grocery store or shopping in Madrid of Barcelona then you can get away with about 150 euros. Buying organic here isn't worthwhile and you'll pay absurd premiums for tofu and some nuts. Avoiding those should get you under 200 with ease.
