"Carmelo is a small, tranquil town known for its wineries, golf courses, and beautiful beaches, making it an ideal retirement destination for expats seeking a peaceful lifestyle. Before retiring in Carmelo, it's important to understand that the official language is Spanish, so learning the language or at least basic phrases can be beneficial. The cost of living in Carmelo is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but it's still higher than in other parts of Uruguay. Healthcare in Uruguay is of a high standard, with both public and private options available, but it's advisable to secure a comprehensive health insurance plan. Uruguay has a temperate climate, but Carmelo can get quite hot in the summer, so it's important to be prepared for this. The town is safe and the locals are friendly, but like anywhere, it's important to take basic safety precautions. Uruguay has a residency program for retirees, but the process can be lengthy and requires a certain amount of income or savings. It's also important to note that while Uruguay has a low crime rate, petty crime like pickpocketing can occur, so it's important to stay vigilant. The pace of life in Carmelo is slow and relaxed, which can be a big change for those used to a fast-paced city lifestyle. The town has a small expat community, but it's not as large as in other popular retirement destinations, so it might take some time to build a social network. Lastly, while Carmelo has basic amenities, it's a small town and doesn't have the same level of services or shopping options as a city. For more extensive needs, the capital city of Montevideo is a three-hour drive away," commented one expat who made the move to Carmelo, Uruguay.
