It’s the most popular second-home destination among Europeans…
It’s the fastest growing expat haven for North Americans…
And it’s our choice for the World’s #1 Retirement Haven…
I’m talking about Spain.
From its stunning beaches to its tranquil mountain retreats, from brand-name cities to glamorous island resorts…
It’s not hard to figure out why Spain is so popular.
It offers all the romance of the Old World, holding tight to its traditional charms (like flamenco, tapas, and a quirky mix of architecture)… yet mixes in the best of the 21st century.
And, of course, those beaches aren’t too bad either—ranked best in the world…
Spain has first-class infrastructure, one of the world’s best health care systems, and the most “Blue Flag” beaches in the entire world…
Yet it all comes at an affordable cost of around $2,000 a month.
In Valencia, our top choice for living in the world, you’ll find everything from renting an apartment to eating out cheaper than back home. A couple could live well here on a budget of €1,665 (about $1,890) a month—including rent.
That’s right… you can spend less than $2,000 a month to live in a lively city with its own Mediterranean beach.
What about health care costs?
The Spanish health care system is one of the best in the world—it placed 7th in the most recent World Health Organization rankings.
As a North American retiree, you likely won’t have free access to the Spanish public health system. But there is a pay-in plan of around $65 a month for under-65s and $170 a month for older residents.
