Where should I setup a bank account in Tarragona?

"Expats considering retirement in Tarragona should be aware that the official language is Spanish, and while English is spoken in some areas, it is beneficial to learn some basic Spanish. The cost of living in Tarragona is generally lower than in many other European cities, but it's still important to budget carefully and consider all potential expenses. Healthcare in Spain is of a high standard, and while it is free for residents, expats may need to secure private health insurance. Tarragona is known for its warm Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild winters, which can be a significant change for those from cooler climates. The city is rich in history and culture, with many ancient Roman ruins and traditional Spanish festivals that expats can enjoy. It's also important to understand the Spanish tax system, as Spain has a double taxation agreement with many countries, which can affect how much tax you pay. The Spanish lifestyle is laid-back and family-oriented, with a strong emphasis on enjoying life, which can be a big shift for those from more fast-paced cultures. The cuisine in Tarragona is based on the Mediterranean diet, with plenty of fresh seafood, vegetables, and olive oil. Public transportation in Tarragona is reliable and affordable, but many expats choose to buy a car for more freedom to explore the surrounding areas. Finally, it's important to understand the process of buying or renting property in Spain, as there are certain legal requirements and potential pitfalls to be aware of," commented one expat who made the move to Tarragona, Spain.
