Hi Sally, Wonder if you could help. I'm a retired single from the US and would like an idea of whether I can afford living somewhere on the Mediterranean coast; Costa Blanca, del Sol, Almeria, Murcia or further up north. I'm on a very tight Social Security pension budget and now live on the coast in Puerto Vallarta ,Mejico on a rented local style furnished apt. where my total expenses including rent with phone , electricity, internet and cleaning service, for US$ 308 a month...plus eating out one meal each day , does not exceed US$ 750 per month. From what I research about cost of living in Spain's southern coast I figure I could pay up to but no more than US$ 400 ( euros) a month total rent for a studio or small apt. and spend about US$ 500 (aprox. 400 euro) for the rest of my expenses to live there as I do here now.
Think it possible? Would greatly appreciate your help.
