I know it's hot as hell during the summer, lol, and I love Madrid and Barcelona, but I'd pick Seviila. Cheap too. Love Marbella, too. All of Spain is Wonderful.
Thank you! I love to listen to you talk. I wasn't considering Spain before, but you made it sound so nice. If it has expat like you living in it, I will consider :)
very good blog on Spain where I have lived for over twenty years. My only comment is that Mijas which you describe as having fewer tourists. I wouldn't agree with that, it is tourist hotspot.
Kind of surprised Seville was not on this list. I know it it is torrid hot in summer, but Andalusia has much charm. I think Valencia sounds best to me, though the smaller places like Alicante and Altea are attractive also. Too many tourists in Barcelona, and I would miss the coast in Madrid, and both Barcelona and Madrid are only a relatively short train ride away from Valencia. I like the architectural variety, climate, and manageable size. Only drawback seems to be that direct flights from North America are not available. Usually have to go to Madrid first.
I live near Girona in Catalunya and I wouldn't be anywhere else! The mountains and forests are quite simply a piece of heaven, and we have the medieval stone built towns of Girona, Besalu and many others, with beautiful Lake Banyoles, and also the coast an hour's drive. Not many expats here :o) we have to learn to speak Catalan, and it is a great place to live :o)
@@gobinajager7832 Well I guess 'immigrants' covers people of all nationalities. in the towns nearby there are some people from all over Europe and Africa and the Middle East, a few Asians, and in this little village we have a handful of people from various parts of Europe. But the point I was making, is that there aren't any people in this particular area who are the type of British expat who are looking for a 'home from home' in the sunshine. So Spain has something for everyone - there are coastal areas with the Irish pubs and fish n chip shops, where you don't need to learn Spanish - and areas like this where you can enjoy learning a new language and having a bit of an adventure :o)
@@wendydee3007 I lived in Pals I know the surroundings, also the very good Joseph Trueta Hospital and the Santa Maria Hospital in Girona. We were immigrants to the Spanish, all foreigners are. No need to be special. And there were also english immigrants in Pals. We all had to get our papers to live there. Glad you like it there, it is indeed beautiful.
I’ve been to most of these cities the big three are wonderful. But haven’t seen the north, as I’m from the Los Angeles/OC area and don’t like rain and cold, but could be a great option for many.
These are the primary places where ex-pats seem to go, but I'm looking for a place with few expats. I want to move to Spain to live in Spain, not a community of ex-pats and integrate into Spanish society as possible. I do like that you pointed out some of the smaller towns near the tourist centers like Mijas near Malaga and Denia near Alicante. Yet, I would like some thoughts expressed on places such as Salamanca, Cadiz, Santander, Girona, and smaller places within the province of Valencia, Malaga, Barcelona, Alicante, and Madrid. Thanks.
You can live in any spanish city mixing with local population but is easier in the north: Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and Basque Country. There are few foreigners there.
@@cristinaravet3706 Thanks. I have never been there but plan to visit to see for myself. I want to visit all the provinces of the north, and spend some time getting to know the part of Spain that I don't know at all now.
Thank you so much for your lovely and informative videos! Spain is on the top of our list of potential retirement destinations. By the way, Fire Island is not as lively anymore as it used to be, unfortunately.
I retire from active duty military late next year, and I am very tempted to go full retirement and see how I do moving out to Spain. I spent my teens and 20s in Central Florida so I would like the option of surfing beaches. What do you think about the northern Atlantic coast cities in Spain? Of the cities you listed, they all sound inviting, especially Madrid and Valencia, but does the Mediterranean coast offer surfing beaches? Great video. Thanks.
Hi Marsha,I love your videos. Can you do one concerning taxation and taxable income for an expat. If you can provide some information for a canadian expat that would be greatly appreciated. thanks
@Marsha Scarbrough, your video on the different cities for expats has been extremely helpful! I am currently exploring university options in España and it would be lovely if you did a top 5 for international students based on job opportunities, city life and cultural customs, which cities are most focused to which 10 industries for jobs per city, cost of living for rent and food plus entertainment opportunities for students aged 20 to 40. Thank you so much Marsha, please make this video idea soon, I am trying to figure out which cities are helpful to live in to study for a career in STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Math) as well as Product Design, Fashion Design, Music Production and Material Sciences. Sincerely, Anthony DiMarco
Major problem of mine is not knowing where to choose to live. I love cities but also ocean views, loved Seville and Malaga and Roquetas de mar in Almeria, was thinking of Cadiz if anyone can advise on that location, I would be grateful.
Charming. However, I prefer to stay here in France (since 2007) and take day trips to Catalonia and beyond... I do keep an eye and an ear open for new areas to visit.
Hi! Can you give me idea where to do further research on more of a sleepy arty fishing village not to far from a city with good medical care?

Big ups to everyone working effortlessly trying to earn a living while building wealth. I’m 40 and my husband 44 we are both retired with over $1 million in net worth and no debts. Currently living smart and frugal with our money. Saving and investing lifestyle in the made it possible for us this early even till now we earn monthly through passive income. We are currently in spain enjoying our retirement.
My Spanish teacher was showing us a rustic area in the hills above Malaga last night near where he comes from. My god you can get a doer upper for as little as €34K! Would have loved to retire to Spain but Brexit put paid to that: £2,000 minimal first income and £500 second income (for couples) is out of the financial realm for most average Jo's like me. Non Spanish speaking little Englander retirees will be (maybe a welcome) thing of the past within the next 20 years. Perhaps retirement will now bring short bursts touring in a campavan. I know my next visit to Spain can't come soon enough. 🇪🇸
We go to our daughters Scandi style villa in Benijofar, in Alicante province. Charming Spanish villages, a big Brit presence in nearby Ciudad Quesada, the beautiful Guardamar beach 15 mins drive away. I'm English, and go regularly to Spain, and although scarce, where we are there are a few Americans. You won't go wrong here my American chums, it's a brilliant country.
I find Spain is a very beautiful country, especially Valencia. I'm planning to retire there. I wonder whether they except muslims openly as their neighbor?
I’d appreciate any tips for moving to Valencia. I can move there without working if necessary. As I’m now working remotely, it would be great if I could do it from Spain. But 1% of job requires me to make contact with clients who are incarcerated. Probably should wait a year or more as I’m making pretty good money but really want to do this now.
What banking system do you use in order to get your retirement money from the United States? How about ATM machines? My wife traveled to St. Petersburg, Russia, and she couldn’t find any ATM machines that were working with her cards!
Thanks for the video. Well done! Do you know someone I can talk to about health insurance? We are U.S. citizens and one of us has pre - existing conditions. From what I read, it will be near impossible to get private health insurance as residents. Would really appreciate your help. Thanks!
It is not enough. You missed Spanish Atlantic coastline as though it doesn't exist. Cities, towns and villages along the Atlantic coastline provides much much more and better opportunities for living the overpopulated Mediterranean shores.

You can't live in a big city on $1,000 per month if you want to rent a house all for yourself. But in a small town or village it is doable. But the problem here is I don't think you can get a non lucrative visa on that income, it doesn't meet the minimum requirement.
Their are many things to consider before moving to Spain. Empadramiento Driver license Social isolation inheretence tax Wealth tax Burials costs/ regulations (48hrs in the ground) Property purchase pitfalls (squaters rights). Selling commercial as residential. I would consult myself or legal counsel before making such a move.
Thanks, I assume this probably does not apply much to expats unless they are somehow inheriting something in Spain or are you referring to something else?
Do you recommend titleing a property a certain way? My wife is taking delivery on new build property in BCN in June. She is Spain born but US citizen but used her DNI number to purchase. Being American I have no DNI so property will be in her name only. Do you see this as problem as far as inheritance?
