When we asked people why foreigners move to Spain, they responded...

"Expats are often drawn to Spain for its beautiful scenery, vibrant culture and relaxed lifestyle. The pleasant Mediterranean climate, local cuisine and art make it an attractive destination to settle in. Spain also offers excellent healthcare, education and leisure activities, and boasts an accessible and efficient public transport system. Moreover, the cost of living is relatively low, while salaries tend to be competitive, offering expats and their families the opportunity to enjoy an excellent quality of life," commented one expat who made the move to Spain.

"There are several reasons - climate, cost of living (it is very cheap to live in Granada), location (access to ski resort in 45 min by bus, and to the beach in an hour), plenty of historical sites to see, plenty of cultural things to do (theater, music, dance, churches, cultural events). Because it's also a university town and has two of UNESCO world Heritage sites," remarked another expat in Granada, Spain.
