Why Choose Spain for Retirement?

  • Retiring in Spain ensures that your wallet does not get lighter. Spain is cheaper than other European countries. You can live here for less than $13,000 per year. Your dining bill will be around $20 for a meal. A beer and snacks cost around $1.50. You do not need to worry about grocery bills, which are only around $70 per week. You can afford $6 for movies and a ticket to Madrid's bullfighting arena for $4.
  • The cost of private health insurance is less than in the US. Health policies for you will cost you anywhere between $880 and $2,000 per year. While a routine check-up with a private doctor costs $35 to $55 the cost of a bed in a private hospital is around $140 per day.
