North Western Spain

9 years ago
Hello Everyone,

My wife and are are searching for a place to retire to in the next 4 years in the North West of Spain. We have been to Spain but it was some years ago now (18) and that was on the Med coast. We'd be looking for the following but not necessarily in the order of preference.
1) a relatively cosmopolitan area with English speaking retirees and working expats
2) somewhere where expats meet regularly such as a tennis club or the like (good social life)
3) good rail and road links to an international airport (within 1 hour preferred)
4) good medical care
5) good weather (not too windy)
6) a beach
7) accessible shops and supermarkets
8) rural landscape say within 30 minutes drive
I wondered whether anyone knows whether where these requirements may fit the bill? We don't want somewhere too expensive. If one were to buy a 4 bed house with a swimming pool and a decent plot (1/4 hectare), we'd hope to pay under €300,000 . Do any of you have any suggestion?
Thank you,
Graham
Sent on the hoof!
