    Intersting that you like Benidorm. Yes the beach is great but the place is very crowded and its famous for attracting low level tourist its overbuild with beton high raised hotels and its indeed like Vegas with drunken and drugged visitors and basically a party capital :) Restaurants can be overpriced and not very good .

      Well there is lots to Benidorm besides the new town/Rincon. I live in the old town. Poniente has basically no partying at all. I think Benidorm is one of the misjudged cities in Spain. It's gets a bad reputation for a few blocks. I found the Costa del Sol boring and Fuengirola was like a ghost town after the summer.

    We love Fuengirola, it's been our family holiday home from home for a couple of decades. We've also spent time in Benidorm and it's really not for us, the cheap entertainment doesn't appeal, but each to their own. However, you are absolutely correct about value for money where accommodation is concerned. You could buy a nice two-bed in Costa Blanca, with a pool, for a price that wouldn't get you anything in Fuengi. Alicante is a superb city, we're considering somewhere like Guardamar for a retirement holiday home. Good luck and thanks for the videos, it's been great to follow your adventures.

    The average wage in Spain is €29,000 / year taking home €1,887 / month. You would need to earn over €58,000 a year in Spain to take home €3,376 thats double the average salary. No wonder you're living well.

      I'm just going through my first tax filing now. Spain does tax your global income except public pensions that are exempt. From what I understand any tax you pay in the US will be applied to your Spanish tax bill as credit. Hopefully that's the case, their tax season is May and June, I should find out shortly. I'm using a tax professional in Spain.

      Thanks. I closed my tfsa before I left because you can no longer contribute to it as a non resident. I never had rrsps. But I can say that Spain taxes your global income, everything except public pensions. I'm currently going through the tax situation now in Spain. It's very invasive and much more complicated than it needs to be. I'm using a tax professional.

      It’s relatively easy and affordable if you are British, even after Brexit, however, employ a Spanish speaking person who is familiar with the system, don’t try cheap too good to be true shortcuts, and corruption amongst Spanish officials is definitely no worse than anywhere else and significantly better than many other places. We moved in 2017, weeks ago knew Brexit was coming, took advice, and followed all the rules, we’ve had no problems other than my health, and we still feel it’s the best move we made

So sad to see the destruction of so many historic buildings that accelerated in the past 5 years or so. Halifax is turning into a Toronto wannabe with too many concrete and glass towers devoid of personality.

      You have to register there and get fingerprinted to obtain your TIE card. It's common in a lot of countries to register at the national police station upon arrival.
