Weather
Spain is often dry and much warmer than the UK, making it a great place for sunseekers. He said: “We’ve got over 320 days per year of blissful sunshine.
“This will have a knock-on effect on your mood, mental health and general wellbeing.”
Lifestyle
The expat explained: “This lifestyle is something that I only dreamt about for four weeks of the year when I paid for holidays to exotic destinations when I was living back in London. The lifestyle is available here cheap every day.”
Finances
Before moving, Britons must make sure they have the means to do so, but they can often get property much cheaper than in the UK. Day-to-day living costs are also generally lower, the YouTuber highlighted.
He added: “The cost of living is considerably less when it comes to actually affording to live in this country.
“Rents are less, property prices are less. I found food less, but most importantly enjoyment considerably less.
“I no longer spend lots of money just to keep myself busy because it’s raining outside I go outside have a picnic at the beach go for a walk visit different towns costs way less money.”
This comes as the expat explained he considers the “best” things to do in Spain to be free activities.
He added: “No one’s going to tell you this about Spain and I really don’t know why. But here’s the truth: the best things about living in Spain are free.
“Day trips to the beach, outdoor activities, walking, visiting towns, visiting cities and enjoying the great outdoors don’t cost you anything.
“If it does cost you something, it’s never going to be more than the price of a picnic or a bit of petrol, maybe a bus ticket or train ticket – you catch my drift.”
