Retiring in Spain or Portugal

1 year ago

1. Which country is more retiree friendly when it comes to processing your permanent move?
2. The internet have some much pseudo-information, but it appears the purpose is to drive you to the myriad of internet services provided by web sites. I am more of a DIY person, but I know I may need local pro assistance to complete paperwork and meet requirements. Any suggestions?
3. I am, and will be on a low budget. How much money I may need for a scouting visit to East Portugal and/or Central/West Spain. How long it may take?
4. Any suggestions to plan my scouting trip? Rent a car? Use public transport? Lodging? For example, here we can find Best Western Hotels and Motels almost in every city. This Hotel chain is usually clean and not overpriced. Something similar over there? Suggestions for clean accommodations while on the trip?

I greatly appreciate any responses and insights. I hope to meet some of you when I visit or move. The first round is on me. Thanks you much.
