Spain is a country that attracts people from all over the world for more than just a few reasons. Compared to many other places, it has so much to offer. So, why settle for just visiting during the holidays? In this post, we will give you 5 reasons to move to Spain permanently.

5 reasons to live in Spain

If you’ve visited the country, you will already be well aware of these reasons. If not, when you have read this post, you won’t be able to get this country out of your mind.

Good weather

Spain has one of the best climates in Europe (although it does vary significantly from region to region). In the winter, while most countries drop below zero, temperatures here are around 8 ºC. There are even more impressive facts about the weather. For example, the Costa del Sol has 300 days of sun a year, with an average annual temperature of around 24 °C. So, if you want to escape the cold, Spain is the place for you.

Food for everyone

Spanish cuisine is one of the richest and most varied in the world. Hundreds of new flavours are waiting to be discovered: the Costa del Sol skewers, ham, paella, Spanish omelette, churros and hot chocolate… These are just some of the most famous dishes but they give you an idea of the quality and variety of food in this country.

Quality of life

As well as the weather and the food, there are also the friendly locals and the wide variety of leisure activities. Thanks to the many hours of sun and the pleasant temperatures, a lot of life happens outside. It is also a country where you can live a peaceful and healthy lifestyle: golf courses, tennis courts in residential developments, hiking trails…

And as if all that wasn’t enough, one of the main draws is the sea. On the Costa del Sol you can mix with friendly locals just a few metres away from the Mediterranean. Many think it’s paradise and you can see why. Who wouldn’t want to live in a sunny place, with reasonable living costs and the beach 5 minutes away?

Competitive prices

Although prices can vary from place to place, in general, Spain is a cheap country compared to some of its European neighbours. If you have plenty of money to spend, you can enjoy a higher standard of living than you could at home.

Culture

Spanish culture is extremely varied. It is the birthplace of great artists like Picasso, Dalí and Velázquez. It is also home to some of the most important buildings in the world (some of which are World Heritage Sites) like the Alhambra or the Sagrada Familia and cathedrals like the one in Santiago de Compostela.

Spain’s history is also rich and varied, with Visigoth, Roman and Arab roots, among many others. The past has helped create a diverse society and culture, based on mutual respect and embracing new things.
