Hi , My name is Sandy and I live in the US. I am ready for a change and was wondering if Spain is a good place to relocate? Any ideas on where to move would be great!!

This sort of thing is very personal.

You can look at crime figures, cost of living, and everything else, but you have no idea what day to day will be like until you get to know the place.

Cities will be different from suburban areas, and locals might well have differing views on foreigners in different places.

Have you visited Spain before? If you haven't, I suggest that you have a holiday in the country first, get to know the place and see if you like it.


Have you also thought about getting a visa unless you hold a passport from an EU country then you don't need a visa.

Hi Sandy,


Relocating to Spain could be a fantastic decision, and it’s great to see you exploring your options!


Spain is a popular destination for many Americans and Brits looking for a change, and it’s easy to see why. Here are a few reasons why so many people love relocating here:


Cost of Living:

Compared to many parts of the US, Spain offers a much lower cost of living. Whether it’s housing, food, or healthcare, you’ll likely find your money goes much further here.


Great Weather:

Spain is known for its sunny climate, especially in coastal areas like the Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca, or the Canary Islands. It’s a big draw for people tired of harsh winters!


Coastal Living:

Many coastal towns offer a relaxed lifestyle, beautiful beaches, and welcoming communities. In these areas, you can often get by without learning Spanish right away, as there are many English-speaking expats.


Visas and Relocation Help:

Since you’re based in the US, you’ll need a visa to live in Spain. The most common choices are the Non-Lucrative Visa (for retirees or financially independent individuals) and the Golden Visa (for property investors). These processes might seem overwhelming, but we help thousands of Americans and Brits relocate to Spain every year, and they’re thrilled with the move.


If you haven’t visited Spain yet, I’d recommend a trip to explore potential areas before deciding. Each region has its own charm—whether it’s the vibrant cities like Madrid or Barcelona, the laid-back vibe of Malaga, or the history and culture of Andalusia.

Best of luck on your exciting journey—Spain has so much to offer, and we’re sure you’ll love it here.
