sheldonboy,
I don't know if you are retired but this is a fine place to live and Latin American survival Spanish is quicker and easier to learn than European Spanish - both grammar & pronunciation, and at the checkout you only need a big smile and ''muchas gracias'' / thank you. We teach spanish - inc to embassiesYou can get a very good 3 bed flat with 24 hr security for GBP100k - monthly maintenance is about 45 quid,, inclusing water and security lighting - you'd get 2 parking spaces and new cars are a bit cheaper than UK. Getting residence is easy, I did it without a lawyer.
If you want more info - just say...
