1. The weather has to be top of my list. After spending 20 years in the UK (originally from beautiful, sunny Cape Town) I appreciate every sunny day in Spain.
2. The landscape is beautiful, with all the hills and mountains - which change depending on the time of day/weather etc.
3. The reasonable price of property- we have a lovely detached house in a mini pine forest, about 20 minutes inland from Alicante. I have a swimming pool again, after doing without one for 20 years!!
4. The social life. Because many ex-pats are retired, most socializing is done during the day, which really suits my way of lire.
5. Retirement is so much more enjoyable here than in UK.
