Few pages back but my wife, cat and I relocated from Hitchin, Herts to Valencia six months ago. So far so good, the lifestyle here is like night and day compared to the UK - still beach weather in October!
We own a place in the UK and while we might buy here eventually, rental law here is so good for tenants we feel happy renting a place. You essentially can’t be kicked out for 5 years and rent can only go up by an official rate, currently 1.something %.
We just got our residency which was simple enough, and are already set up to pay tax and social security. Beauracrcy isn’t all that, especially if you work with the right people.
