What do I need to know before retiring in Benidorm?

"Expats considering retirement in Benidorm should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, it's important to understand the cost of living, which is generally lower than in many other European countries, but can vary depending on lifestyle and location within the city. Healthcare in Spain is of a high standard, with both public and private options available. Expats should research the best healthcare plan for their needs and budget. The official language in Benidorm is Spanish, so learning the language can greatly enhance your experience. However, English is widely spoken in this tourist-friendly city. The climate in Benidorm is typically Mediterranean, with hot summers and mild winters, which can be a significant draw for those looking to escape colder climates. Spain has a double taxation agreement with many countries, so it's important to understand how this might affect your pension or other income. The property market in Benidorm offers a range of options, from apartments to villas, and it's advisable to rent before buying to get a feel for the area. Spain's residency rules require expats to register with the local town hall and obtain a foreigner's identity card. Finally, it's important to understand that while Benidorm is known for its vibrant nightlife and tourist attractions, it also offers a quieter lifestyle with beautiful beaches, parks, and a charming old town," wrote a member who made the move to Benidorm, Spain.
