Spain: Looking for advice from Americans in Spain:

Hello Nathan. My husband and I moved to Spain three months ago. Please feel free to ask questions. We'll try to help you any way we can.

Spain: Retirement in Spain/in our 60's/from US:

My husband and I will be moving to Spain this summer. We're both 58 and retired. Just making and committing to the decision is a big step. Going through all our possesions, selling our house and car, and applying for a visa was difficult and all consuming at times. Ask yourself if you're prepared to go through all that it will take to make a Spanish life for yourself. As for Spain itself, we did a lot of on-line research into the country, and read a lot of books. We narrowed down our choices of where to live, and then took a trip to just those cities. Though we did some sight-seeing, we spent most of our time just doing regular things. We went to a laundromat, a supermarket, a hardware store. I got my haircut. And by doing so, we realized we could make it work. A trial run will give you the confidence that you're up for the challenge. I'll let you know when i get there and how the move went. Dru

Spain: Healthcare costs:

My husband and I, both 57, are planning to retire to Barcelona/Valencia. Could someone please give me a rough idea of how much healthcare would cost for us. Apparently the healthcare retirement benefits I earned after working forever won't help me overseas! The cost of health insurance could be the deal breaker. Thanks
