Hi whitedog,

Of course it depends on the lifestyle you expect to lead, but I would say you should be able to live comfortably on £1200pm
Allow 80-100 for water/electric/gas per month
SUMA(Council tax) c350per year
Community Fee (200-500)per year
Food is a lot cheaper than UK if you eat local produce.
Petrol is about the same, maybe slightly cheaper
Consider how the exchange rate could affect you. For example today is 1.10 / £1. Exchange rate could drop lower and that impacts on the money you have to spend. Of course it could (should) get better over time and this means you'll have more Euros to live on.
All the best with your move to Spain
