Loading ...SPAIN - A QUICK OVERVIEW
Spain is located on the Iberian Peninsula, to the southwest of France. It is separated from France to the north by the Pyrenees and on it’s western side by Portugal. It borders the Bay of Biscay, Mediterranean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean. The Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands are also Spanish. Spain is a beautiful country with it’s mountains, central plateau, forests and of course it’s many beaches.
Spain has two distinct climates. Northern Spain is much cooler. There is little temperature variation between summer and winter. It is mild and more likely to be rainy than the south of the country. Southern Spain is quite dry, with little rain fall. Hot sun and bright blue sky. You can get quite fierce thunder storms but they don’t last long and the hot sun usually dries everything quickly.
Spain is known for having a fairly relaxed pace of life, compared with many other European countries, and the Spanish are known for their enjoyment of life. There are a wide range of hotels, restaurants, clubs, pubs and bars along the coasts in the many resorts, also in the lively cities of Madrid and Barcelona. Madrid and Barcelona are also culturally sophisticated cities with many museums, theatres and galleries.
Spain is a modern and sophisticated country with an excellent infra structure and a high standard of living. But, at the same time it is a land of infinite contrasts. Beautiful modern buildings, stylish abstract architecture along side Moorish and beautiful medieval and Renaissance architecture.
British expatriates are the fourth largest group of foreign residents in Spain,. They range from retired people and families to those who commute on a weekly basis to jobs in the UK.
Spain is popular with expats of all nationalities because of it’s good infrastructure, high standards of living, relaxed lifestyle, low house prices, low cost of living and a stable economy. The expats integrate well in the Spanish communities opening a wide variety of businesses.
The Spanish people are very friendly and welcoming to visitors and expats alike. I would advise learning some Spanish just to be polite at the very least and if you can, learn enough so you can get to know your new Spanish neighbours. It really is appreciated by the Spanish and it will make your time there much more enjoyable.
