Spain is a country with beautiful, temperate weather year-round, and has beautiful scenery. Whether you’re walking along the beach or through a historic city’s beautiful back streets, you’ll always be in awe of the landscapes and architecture in this country.
This country is also home to some of the most delicious food you’ll find anywhere around. Wine and cheese, anyone? You’ll never strike out at a restaurant here, and will be able to find a little something for everyone.
On top of its great weather, scenery, and food, Spain is also known for its rich history and culture. From its capital of Madrid, to sunny Barcelona, to the beaches of Valencia, you’ll be able to explore and absorb culture everywhere you turn, and visit tons of historical sites, landmarks, and museums.
Often one of the most prime destinations in Spain for travelers and casual vacationers, Barcelona is top on our list not only because of its proximity to the sea and its beautiful beaches, but because of its plethora of existing expat communities.
There are plenty of ways to connect with like-minded people who can help you with the language and give you a support system while you explore.
Madrid is full of incredibly historic areas, beautiful parks, and delightful gardens. If you’re walking down the street in Madrid, you’ll probably be amazed at every turn, anyway. This city is also full of things to do, from concerts, theater, and a huge nightlife scene.
This beachside city has pretty much anything an expat could want, while also having a much lower cost of living than Barcelona or Madrid. This city also has amazing public transportation, incredible food, and a rich cultural atmosphere that will let you immerse yourself and feel at home in no time.
