12 Best Places to Live or Retire in Andalusia, Spain
If you are thinking about living or retiring in Spain consider one of the largest autonomous regions of Spain, Andalusia. It borders the country’s southern belt and extends downwards to the strait of Gibraltar. It is possibly the region that defines Spain in the minds of foreigners; from beaches to quaint whitewashed villages, flamenco to fiestas, this region has it all, including many well developed popular cities, Communes and a wide selection of famous small towns featuring splendid and unique architecture.
The places listed in this video are some of the best to retire or live in this region. What’s more, despite the popularity of some of these places, the average cost of living is still very affordable and the region has cheap real estate on offer. As a whole, it is perfect for retirees, remote workers and snowbirds who prefer a lively lifestyle.
Thanks for watching
I chose Almuñecar. On the coast straight south of Granada.
Huelva. on the atlantic, not many tourists
What was the background music?
Living in Spain is a wonderful experience.Sun, clean roads , good and not expensive food compared with other countries.Much more variety of fruits and vegetables!! And a very good public health service.
Not to mention the ample net of hightways and speed trains( the best in Europe).
❤️❤️❤️
Soy malagueña, y es un privilegio vivir aquí 😍
We have lived in Spain for 9 years in several different areas.
Compsred to the UK life is way better in pretty much every way.
Se escribe (Andalucía) con C no Andalusia con S.
From Texas, US I can honestly say Spain was a revelation. Every bit as fun as Italy (food better) and WAY more attractive than the soggy and messy UK. I love the British people but they are being run out of their own country, like here!
Ife you LOVE severe heat ande drought thats the place for you…
I lived 20 years near Alicante
Spain 🇪🇸 is a beautiful country with nice people, a relaxed culture and wonderful climate. ❤❤❤❤
Nice summary !
Great place to retire! Thank you
Nerja is extremely touristy, famous for its caves.

His Nerja comments are way off base.. Nerja is absolutely packed in summer.. and still busy in winter
spain was good before it joined the EU. now you never know what political crap is on its way. like california.
se escribe con la c … Andalucía , es tan fácil que hasta yo pude aprenderlo
Spain has lots of difficult, nonsensical rules and laws and taxes ppl left right and after at every turn and opportunity. Brits are not welcome either
It has been getting far far too hot in summers!!! Do not go there!
As Mexican-Americans, and retired, my wife and I purchased a condo a 30 minute drive south of Marbella. In a small coastal town of La Duquesa. Our terrace offers beautiful views of the Med. We have Roman ruins from first century, a 17th century fort, and a marina with tons of bars and restaurants. All within 10 minute walk, and to the beach. Being from SoCal, we could never have afforded living like this there. You have no idea how much better the quality of life is in Spain unless you experience it yourself.
I lived in Almeria, not that nice though………… better go to Marbella
Many May find it too hot in Summer, returned yesterday from Seville and the daily temperatures topped 36deg in early October. Lovely city though .
Su anda ispanya da olmak isterdim👍👍❤️👍❣️
İspanya nin gùzelligi bu górselle cok daha iyi górùnùyor👍👍👍♥️❣️
Very beatiful👍♥️❣️
Too hot.
There are places to retire in Spain that are not necessary on the beach. If you go more in land you will still enjoy beautiful weather, less crowds and a friendly atmosphere. 😊😊😊
You haven't been to Nerja lately I see. LOL. The place is packed to overflowing. Hotels are fully booked, airbnbs, and even private apartments and rooms. You must have never been there at least not in Summer….
I lived in Spain for 2 years working for the US military sealift command visiting all of the coastal ports on a rotating basis and would definitely second the desirability of both Jerez de Frontera next to Gibraltar, as well as Cadiz. Malaga and the neighboring tourist trap of Torremolinos are nice as well. But I especially liked both Cartagena and Palma de Majorca in the Balearic Islands. Cartagena is the Spanish navy’s submarine shipyard and is smaller, less touristy and also cheaper than Malaga. But Malaga has its own song or Malagueña.
Andalusia has become a popular destination for British retirees, but the changing economic landscape in the UK and the increasing dynamism of Andalusia have made it increasingly unsustainable for them to live there. Consequently, it seems to me that many British retirees should seek more affordable, long-term options in other Mediterranean regions.
Having been to Valencia the last 3 times in Spain (yes it's that good:) thought we'd try Malaga for a change. Stayed in old town & it was great, loads of good restaurants, some good architecture, roman ruins, Alcazaba & beach all in a walkable distance. 31°C in March was an additional treat!
Big fan of Seville too, if you don't need a beach a can highly recommend 🙂
