If you are at retiring age and considering moving to Spain for the sun and beautiful weather, and yet you do not want to live in one of the big cities, then you might very well consider Sitie de Calahonda which is close to Marbella and Fuengirola. With a population of a little over 16,000 it is relatively quiet and yet offers all of the benefits of living in Spain, not the least of which is the climate. 
Spain is without doubt one of the most popular destinations for Brits who want to spend their two weeks summer holidays in the sun, and the Mediterranean is the primary choice. Because so many of us choose it over the years, it has also become the most popular retirement destination as well, and many of us pack our bags and head for places such as the Costa Blanca. 
Alicante is a city in mainland Spain on the Mediterranean and has a population of about 330,000. It is an ideal destination for those Brits who want to go and live in the sun, and where you can sit on the beach in December. According to the website Numbeo, the cost of living here is 36.4% less expensive than London, and that’s without rent. 
One of the major destinations for people who have retired and want to live in the sun is the Algarve in Portugal. At Movers International we should know, because we carry out a large number of Algarve removals to Portugal for retirees and also people who have managed to get a job there, or in some cases are setting up their own business there.
