    Hi, you and I talk the same talk. We made the move in 2004 after taking early retirement from stressful jobs. Moved to a small village inland to the province of Jaén. A completely different life up there with more olive trees than people. Stayed there for 15-years and loved every day of it. However, older age approaching we decided to move to our winter escape property in Torrox Pueblo, to the east of Malaga Province. Again, mostly agricultural in nature and a traditional village of some 4,000 mixed nationality residents. Just 10 minutes from the coast, an hour on the bus to Malaga, extremely slow pace of life. We’ll end our days here. Thoroughly enjoyed your vlog.

    Malaga is more expensive and more upmarket. Weather tends to be better as well.

    Great weather there today I’m jealous. Do you have to pay for your healthcare or can you use their NHS now ?

    • @retiringtospain
      @retiringtospain  วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Thank you Jennie, if you're under pension age, you can pay into the Spanish health system depending on where you live. Pension age, you use your S1 (NHS) for health care. I had a new hip (£15,000) not paid for. You need to ask expert for more information about healthcare if moving to Spain.
