Why do people move to Spain?
When we asked people why foreigners move to Spain, they responded...
"Expats are often drawn to Spain for its beautiful scenery, vibrant culture and relaxed lifestyle. The pleasant Mediterranean climate, local cuisine and art make it an attractive destination to settle in. Spain also offers excellent healthcare, education and leisure activities, and boasts an accessible and efficient public transport system. Moreover, the cost of living is relatively low, while salaries tend to be competitive, offering expats and their families the opportunity to enjoy an excellent quality of life," said a member in Spain.
