Spain is one of the most popular retirement destinations for Britons because of the lovely weather and the type of laid-back and easy-going life. In fact, according to The Standard (the London newspaper that is now becoming weekly), recent figures showed that 1,050 Britons retire there every month. They join the other 370,000 UK nationals who live in Spain, according to a conservative estimate. 
According to statistics, the average person in the UK will move home every seven years. Other statistics show that average life expectancy calculated in 2020 / 2022 was 80.7 years, which means that we move home 11 times in our lifetime. Of course, some people move far more often, and others (few) live their whole lives in the home that they were born in. 
Many people recently have decided to leave the UK and live overseas. This may be for any number of reasons, and most of which have nothing to do with their view of the political situation. The weather in the UK is one reason, especially after the winter and spring that we have just had. It would be so lovely to live somewhere in the sun. 
Despite the fact that we are no longer in the EU, many people who live in Britain choose to move to a European country for one reason or another. We all see figures telling us about how many immigrants there were last year (around 745,000) but quite a lot of people also leave the UK to live abroad. 
Aside from not having to break your back lugging boxes, hiring us has some major perks: 
 
• We provide all packing materials to safely pack your fragile items 
• We have the proper equipment like dollies to move heavy furniture 
• Our vehicles are built for hauling lots of stuff 
• We are insured in case anything gets damaged 
• It's more efficient with our experienced team 
The moving process works differently for short, local journeys compared to hauling across the country (or world!). 
 
For local gigs, it'll just be the movers and their truck showing up. Load it up, drive it over, done and dusted. 
 
But long-distance moves? Oh boy. Get ready for some coordination! 
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.
