Why do expatriates choose to move to Spain?​

Free Healthcare System

With a robust network of hospitals and medical centres, Spain’s high quality health care system caters for a variety of needs, including wellness checks, surgeries, emergencies & much more. In 2009, Spain was ranked 7th best in the world by the World Health Organisation (WHO). The average life expectancy in Spain is an amazing 92.8 years, which is the first highest average living age in the world.

Weather & Climate

Spain is a very sunny country with a warm year-round climate that draws not only millions of tourists to these shores but also the many thousands who look to emigrate here. The yearly weather in Spain is glorious with those who live here enjoying around 3,000 hours of sunshine each year! There are of course seasonal variations and the weather you get will very much depend on the time of the year and the region of the country you are in.

Quality of Life

The Cost Of Living

The cost of living in Spain is quite different than the cost of living elsewhere. The country is more affordable than many western European countries, making it favorable to expatriates. In general, Spanish cities have much lower costs than you’d expect for a major EU country. In terms of overall costs, it’s a cheaper country to live in than the UK. The further south you travel (by city, not region), the cheaper the prices are.

Incredible places

Spain is one of the most popular destinations on the planet. Every year, millions of people visit the country and the rest for magnificent experiences.

It’s the perfect destination for a summer break and wintertime.

A safe country

In addition, it’s the fourth country in the European Union where the fewest crimes are committed, coming in behind Greece, Portugal and Italy.

Friendly People

Spanish are also very generous, warm and welcoming. They love socialising, are great communicators and they are very accepting in terms of opening up friendship groups to "outsiders", which is great if you're looking to find your feet in a new country. Not only that, they’re known to be generous and they also love a good time! In a recent study on international values, the Spanish came in above their European counterparts as being more content with life.

Attractive for investments

The Spanish economy has steadily surpassed that of its European counterparts over the last five years, in pre-pandemic circumstances. Spain is one of the countries in the world with the least restrictive regulations for international investment. It has the largest network of highways and freeways in the EU, two of Europe's busiest airports, the world's third most extensive high-speed rail network and home to three of Europe's most important ports in container terminal moves.
