I agree with thewoodbug but do not be despondent. Spain is a lovely country, it is not Utopia and things are very different from UK. Do not come with preconceived ideas. If you have family, especially grand children do think twice because many people find that they miss their families. Realistically you DO need to drive. We have lived here on the Costa Tropical, ten minutes from the coast in a small village for eight years. My advice would be do not buy beyond your means. Many people have and now cannot fund their mortgages therefore have returned to UK. Do have a good look round before you buy. Think what sort of area you want to live in because Spain is a very diverse country and varies considerably from the very quiet locations to the dreadful fish and chip areas. Good luck and I hope you decide to move to Spain.
