Finally viewed this video and really enjoyed it. Being in Seattle and watching new high temperature records being set again this week and possibly next in Southern Europe, I may have to consider an exploratory trip to this area. Thanks!
Looking forward to seeing this as most of Spain, Portugal and Italy during the summer are way too hot for me as possible retirement relocation destinations. I'm thirty-two years in Seattle area, but originally from Venice/Santa Monica, California.
@@erickarnell Yes, the rain does take some getting used to. And I have noticed that since I'm now retired it is tougher getting through the rainy Seattle winter months than when I was still working.
So true…geo arbitrage looks like the only solution for best weather in all seasons … only place that seems perfect year round is Madeira but island living is too restrictive for me!
El calor de más de 30ºC en España solo dura un poco más de un mes y solo las horas del mediodía y las noches calurosas de más de 25ºC igual. También depende si estás en el Norte o el Sur o si estás en lugares cercanos a la costa o en el interior y su altitud sobre el nivel del mar. Y depende de la humedad. España es muy variada en climatológicamente. Yo donde pasa calor desagradable fue en Río de Janeiro por su humedad.
@@anacasanova7350 Spain is a beautiful country. I would like to visit the north where it is cooler and gets more rain. I actually missed this video yesterday and am anxious to view it today.
The cities and towns are very walkable, especially the coastal ones, because they're mostly flat. European cities tend to be more forgiving to pedestrians than elsewhere. As for public transport-it's excellent. All the coastal towns shown in this video -Llanes, Ribadesella, Santander, Bilbao-have railway links. The mountain towns are a bit more isolated, but with good bus services. In one of the larger towns, you could certainly live well without a car.
I am sorry but the article that brought me here saying that when it comes to food, Nature/environment, etc.. things are different is categorically incorrect. Everything is practically the same, ocean close to mountains (taller hills), small cities, etc... I do have to say that prices of everything in Portugal have gone up a whole lot...even more after the pandemic.
Un lugar agradable para jubilarse es Almeria en en SE de España y mas tranquilo que Malaga y menos caluroso que el resto de Andalucia por los aires Alisios.

That area of Spain looks lovely! And great prices, too!

I'm on the same page as you.
For a place to stay as green as Seattle or Bilbao, there has to be a lot of rain though. Not sure how I feel about that.

Great one! Thanks. :)
El lugar de veraneo de los reyes de España ha sido Santander, San Sebastian y Palma de Mallorca .
How walkable are the city and town areas?
Is the region well-connected by train and other public transportation to allow life without owning a car?

Where are the people?
Lots of people in the cities--Bilbao, Santander--and towns. Not so many up in the mountains. Which some people enjoy!
