Are you thinking of moving to Spain? Well this week’s blog
will give you plenty of tapas for thought.
Here we will give you an introduction to all the main
regions of Spain, with the average costs of moving home to that area from each
part of the UK.
Many people who are looking to move abroad often consider
Spain as one of the best countries to relocate to for the weather and quality
of life.
So if you are moving from London to Spain, relocating from
Belfast to Barcelona, moving from Cardiff to Catalonia, or moving from Glasgow
to Galicia, here you will find all the information you need about the major
towns of each region, how much it costs on average to move to Spain, the
cheapest and best ways to move your things to Spain, and lots of useful advice
about how to choose a good international removal company.
Just click on the
region you are interested in moving to and you will find all you need to know.
But why not read about every region of Spain, there are some wonderful places
in Spain which are a bit off the beaten track and will allow you to fully
immerse yourself in the culture of Spain.
There are 17 provinces in Spain, which are then broken down into regions, each one uniquely different and inspiring.
Galicia is in the northwest of Spain, just above Portugal.
Galicia is not as well-known as many of the regions of Spain, although many will be familiar with the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage trail which ends in Galicia at Santiago de Compostela. But those you do venture further into the region soon discover what a beautiful region this is, with near-deserted beaches, rugged hills, and deep, sweeping pine-forested valleys.
However, you may not quite like so much the weather here.
Galicia is wet and windy for most of the year, although July and August are
generally dry and sunny.
Galicia can easily be compared to the terrain of Scotland and Wales, so the weather is not the only thing they share with other Celtic countries. And continuing their Celtic heritage the Galicians also play the bagpipes and have their own language, Galego, which is akin to Portuguese with a few Celtic words thrown in.
The stunning countryside and beaches are what draw many to
this region of Spain. Surfers, kiteboarders, windsurfers, walkers, and mountain
bikers absolutely love Galicia.
And no guide to Galicia would be complete without mentioning the mouthwatering seafood that is available here. Galicia is particularly well known throughout Spain as having some of the finest Pulpo, or octopus, to be found anywhere. It should also be noted that Galicia produces some of the finest wines in all of Spain.
You may also be interested to know that the time-zone here
differs from that of other Spanish regions. The clocks here work to continental
European time, so the sun rises and sets later.
Galicia is not for you if you want raucous nightlife,
crowded beaches, or tourist traps. But if you want to experience some stunning
countryside, immerse yourself in the real Spain, and have the beaches all to
yourself then Galicia is a fine region of Spain to consider as your new home.

coast, Asturias is also famous for its cider, and more notably the way it is
poured from high above the glass to aerate the cider.
The rugged coast here is full of quaint and picturesque fishing villages lost in time, each brightly painted and full of wonderfully friendly people. The beaches here are pure white sand and have crystal clear blue water with none of the crowds that many Spanish regions suffer from.

area is rich in beautiful mountains and lush, green vegetation. The Picos de
Europa Mountains which border the west of the province are truly beautiful and

airport is just an hour away. There are also ferry services directly to England
from Santander.
Steeped in ancient history, there are many interesting and
wonderful places to visit, as well as numerous fiestas in every village
throughout the year.
Cantabria is a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts with some
amazing country walks and mountain hiking to be done, as well as water sports,
caving, and skiing.
You will find the people here friendly and welcoming, but as this region of Spain is off the beaten track, English is not widely spoken.

Navarra, or “Land of Diversity”, is in northern Spain, nestled between the Basque Country, La Rioja, Aragon, and France.

Steeped in history, the region retains a sense of living in
times gone by, whilst still embracing all the benefits of the modern
world.
You will benefit from knowing a few words in Basque as Navarra is one of the four territories that makes up the Basque Country. In and around Pamplona you will find Spanish and Basque spoken, the northwest region of Navarra is mainly Basque-speaking, and the locals will really appreciate it if you make an effort to speak their language.
Around 11% of the population here is foreign, many of which
are British expats, which is slightly above the national average, whilst
property prices are about average for Spain.
Navarra is world-famous for the San Fermin festival, the running bulls festival, but it has so much more to offer than that. There are medieval villages, monasteries, national parks, and forests, as well as part of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route that passes through this very beautiful and unspoiled region.

Moving to Aragon Spain
Aragon, Spain
Provinces: Zaragoza, Huesca, Teruel
Main cities: Huesca, Monzon, Teruel, Utebo
Largely overlooked by tourists, this should not be a region
ignored if you are thinking of moving to Spain.
Aragon has 3 provinces, each having its own capital city.
Zaragoza is probably the best-known area of Aragon, a modern city that is steeped in ancient history and culture. The artist Goya was born not far from Zaragoza and a number of his works are displayed in the city. There are many fine examples of Moorish architecture in the city and surrounding areas, and the main square in Zaragoza has two cathedrals to marvel at.
To the north of Aragon is the city of Huesca which is a Roman town with a Gothic cathedral. Often referred to as the gateway to the Pyrenees, this is an area steeped in culture and art, but it is the incredible landscape of the area that attracts many people to move to Huesca.
You will find many beautiful villages throughout the region, many of which produce some very fine wines.
The region is perfect for many outdoor activities including rock climbing, canyoning, rafting, canoeing, kayaking, hang gliding, para-gliding, mountain biking, caving, horse riding, and hiking. Winter sports are particularly popular here with skiing, ice climbing, dog-sledding, and ice skating all readily available.
Many other cities in Spain are easily accessible from Aragon. Barcelona is just 2 hours away by train, there is a high-speed rail link with Madrid, and there are regular flights from the UK to Zaragoza airport.
What is the Cost of Living in Aragon Spain?
According to www.expatistan.com a family of 4 would need €2,608 per month and a single person €1,208 per month to live in Zaragoza. This could be less if you lived in the country or on the coast.

Moving to Catalonia Spain
Catalonia, Spain
Provinces: Barcelona, Girona, Lleida, Tarragona
Main City: Barcelona, Costa Dorada, Costa Brava
Catalonia is in northeastern Spain, with France and Andorra
to the north, and the Mediterranean Sea to the east.
From the snowcapped Pyrenees to the pristine beaches, and the city of Barcelona with all its culture, heritage, and world-class amenities, Catalonia is definitely a region of Spain that merits some consideration as your new home.
You may need to brush up on your language skills though as Catalan is spoken by about half the population here.
Of course, most people are drawn to the amazing city of Barcelona but this region of Spain offers so much more, it is a region full of tradition, amazing food, beach and ski resorts, festivals, and the region’s most famous contribution to life, Cava.
For those who think they will miss the British seasons, you
need not worry as this region has its four seasons with cool winters and hot
summers. Summers are dry and hot with up to 13 hours of sunlight a day, with
the sun not setting until 9 at night.
Costa Dorado and Costa Brava are both well-known tourist destinations and attract many Brits to live there. The great weather, beautiful beaches, culture, and history attract many people to move to the coast of Spain.
Many people will be less familiar with the city of Girona
which is only 40 minutes from the coast but is well worth checking out as an
alternative to the bigger cities in Catalonia.
Catalonia offers a wonderful quality of life and if you enjoy the great outdoors, and especially cycling, which is very popular in Catalonia, you will find plenty to occupy your free time.
Walking, water sports, golf, wonderfully fresh food,
friendly people, a relaxed way of life, stunning scenery, golden sandy beaches,
cosmopolitan cities, and quaint villages, Catalonia is a gem of Spain not to be
overlooked.
What is the Cost of Living in Barcelona Spain?
According to www.expatistan.com a family of 4 would need €3,442 per month and a single person €1,861 per month to live in Barcelona. This would be less if you lived in the country or on the coast.
www.expatistan.com also lists the average prices of everyday items and is updated regularly so it is worth checking out if you want that information.
Barcelona is the most expensive city in which to live in Spain but is still cheaper than 62% of cities in Western Europe.

Castile y Leon, Spain
Provinces: Leon, Palencia, Burgos, Zamora, Valladolid,
Segovia, Soria, Salamanca, Avila

Castile y Leon, just north of Madrid, is the largest of all
the regions of Spain and is incredibly varied in what it offers its residents
and visitors alike.
If you are thinking of moving to Castile y Leon, then you will find that this part of Spain is like no other. There are incredibly beautiful mountains, wide-open plains, medieval villages, stunning cathedrals, the jaw-dropping fortress at Segovia, and so much more.
There are six UNESCO world heritage sites in the region,
more than any other region in the world, and around 300 castles for you to
marvel at.
Amazing food and wine feature heavily in this region with many local specialties that are guaranteed to fill your dining table daily. This region produces many fine kinds of cheese and arguably Spain’s best Jamon, to accompany your bottle of Toro wine, as well as tapas to die for.
There is even a new language to learn once you have
perfected your Spanish, Leonese, which although not widely spoken, you will
definitely get brownie points from the locals for knowing even a few words.
Castile y Leon offers you a quality of life, a place to
immerse yourself in Spanish tradition and culture that few other regions can.
What is the Cost of Living in Salamanca Spain?
According to www.expatistan.com a family of 4 would need €2,260 per month and a single person €1,009 per month to live in Salamanca. This could be less if you lived in the country or on the coast.

Moving to La
Rioja, Spain
La Rioja, Spain
La Rioja is a single province in Spain.
La Rioja is one of the smallest regions of Spain but it
still packs a big punch when it comes to great places to move to in Spain.
If you are thinking of moving to La Rioja, there is one overriding and undisputable reason why you would want to make this region your forever home. Rioja wine. There is no other experience in the world like eating tapas whilst sharing a bottle of Rioja that has travelled 2, rather 2000 kilometers to be on your table. Utter bliss.
And it is because La Rioja is such a small region that will
enable you to experience and immerse yourself in the real Spain like few other
regions can allow you to.
The communities are small, and there are many incredibly beautiful whitewashed villages, but the opportunities for an idyllic life in real Spain are big here.
A lot of interesting places are not that far from La Rioja, including Pamplona, Zaragoza, Bilbao, Barcelona, and Madrid all of which are within easy travelling distance. However, buses and trains are few and far between, so the best way to get about is by car.
The only drawback for some going to live in La Rioja will be the lack of sea, but the Bay of Biscay is just a couple of hours away, and you can be in the Mediterranean Sea in just over five hours.
Logrono is the capital of La Rioja, it is a small but beautiful city, and was once voted the best city in Spain to live in. It is well off the beaten track so tourists are few and far between, but they are missing out on a real treat of a region.
So why should you move to La Rioja? The people here are super-friendly, snow-capped mountains lead to huge vineyards, the cost of living is low, and the quality of life is high. And did I mention Rioja wine?

Moving to Madrid Spain
Madrid, Spain
Madrid is a single province in Spain.
Main City: Madrid
The historic city of Madrid is the Capital of Spain and is
right in the middle of the country.
It is a huge, cosmopolitan city with over a million students, with nightlife to rival anywhere in Europe. There are numerous art galleries and museums, and the city is steeped in history. In fact, Madrid even has one of the only examples of Egyptian architecture outside of Egypt, the 2,000-year-old Templo de Debod.
Although relatively expensive by Spanish standards, British expats thinking of going to live in Madrid will find it to be a reasonably cheap city in which to live, and because Madrid is so central to all of Spain, you will find travel cheap too. So if you fancy a weekend by the sea, not only is it conveniently close, but it is cheap to get there too.
Despite being such a big and multi-national city, you will find Madrid is not bi-lingual and you will need to know a good amount of the Spanish language to get by.
Because Madrid is in the centre of the country, you can expect from early October to June the odd rainy day and colder temperatures, but for the rest of the year, you will experience the true heat of Spain.
Madrid is a truly wonderful and inspiring city in which to live. You will meet people of many different cultures, you will get to live in a city full of wonderful architecture, there are many beautiful parks such as Buen Retiro Park, the food and drink are delicious, and all for a fraction of the price you could expect to pay in the UK.
What is the Cost of Living in Madrid Spain?
According to www.expatistan.com a family of 4 would need about €3,319 per month, and a single person about €1,775 per month to live in Madrid.
www.expatistan.com also lists the average prices of everyday items in Madrid and is updated regularly so it is worth checking out if you want that information.
Madrid is the 2nd most expensive city in which to live in Spain but it is still cheaper than 70% of cities in Western Europe.

Moving to Extremadura Spain
Medellin, Extremadura, Spain
Provinces: Caceres, Badajoz
Main Cities: Merida, Plasencia
If you want to live a truly rural life in Spain, away from
all the tourist traps, then Extremadura could be the haven you are looking for.
Incredibly beautiful with stunning countryside, this region of Spain has let the modern world pass it by, and is so much more appealing for it.
Property here is amongst the cheapest in Spain, but expect
fincas in need of complete renovation rather than sprawling villas with
swimming pools, although you will find those at bargain prices too.
British expats thinking of going to live in Extremadura will be rewarded with a tranquil and slower pace of life, where bird watching, fishing, cycling, and horse-riding are your priorities rather than shopping in out-of-town malls and big yachts in the marina.
But being out in the sticks you will need a good grasp of the Spanish language as there is very little English spoken here, and only a handful of British expats.
That said if you need your fix of city life every once in a while the vibrant city of Seville is only an hour or so away.
Extremadura offers the quality and slower pace of life that many seek but never find. Should that be what you are looking for, Extremadura will fulfill all your wishes.
What are the Average Removal Costs from the UK to Extremadura Spain?

Andalucia is probably one of the most popular destinations for Britsh expats thinking of living in Spain.
Beautiful weather, low crime rates, the slower pace of life, culture, and delicious food are just some of the reasons why so many Brits move to Andalucia.
There is a huge expat community in Andalucia which is a very welcome support network for many who want to move to Spain but are not good at the language, or need help navigating the bureaucracy here.
But away from the British expat communities on the coast, you will find dozens of traditional old towns and villages where villagers still do things the old way, and where you can enjoy a tranquil and authentically Spanish way of life.
Andalucia has 7 world heritage sites and the region is steeped in history. There are palaces, Medieval cities, ancient burial sites, numerous museums, and many art galleries, so if culture and history interest you, you will never run out of things to enthrall you.
With over 500 miles of gloriously sandy beaches,
world-famous golf courses, and unlimited outdoor activities, Andalucia is
perfect for those wanting to pursue an outdoor lifestyle.
The transport network in Andalucia is very good with high
speed and local rail links, and modern buses that serve even the most remote of
villages.
However, Andalucia is probably one of the poorest regions of Spain where employment is mainly in tourism, construction, and real estate. Outside of these sectors, British expats are unlikely to get any work. Even if you speak very good Spanish, the dialect in Andalucia is very strong and non-natives are rarely employed.

According to www.expatistan.com a family of 4 would need €3,090 per month and a single person €1,513 per month to live in Marbella. This would be less if you lived in a village or away from the main tourist areas.

Moving to Castilla La Mancha Spain
Consuegra, Castille La Mancha
Provinces: Guadalajara, Toledo, Cuenca, Ciudad Real,
Albacete
Main City: Toledo
Castilla La Mancha is centrally located within Spain and using the Renfe railway, most of Spain is easily accessible from here.
For British expats who are looking to work in Madrid, but want to live in a rural paradise, then this region is ideal. Madrid is less than an hour’s train journey away.
This region is unlike the touristy areas that many would associate as being Spain and has a laid-back, traditional old Spain vibe that gives the British expats living here their superb quality of life.
The World Heritage site of Toledo is the capital of Castilla
La Mancha and is famous for its cultural and architectural history. Toledo is
often cited as one of the most beautiful cities in all of Spain.
Another, but less well-known city you may want to consider moving to is Cuenca. It is the location of this small city that is so breathtaking. It perched out on a narrow beam of rocks with vertical cliffs on all sides. There are houses built out from the rocks, overhanging the deep drops below.
There is also one of the oldest Cathedrals in Spain in
Cuenca, as well as a stunning footbridge that connects the old city with the
San Pablo monastery.
The areas surrounding Cuenca are a hikers’ paradise and with great road and rail links to Madrid, this area should not be overlooked when searching for your new home.
Although sparsely populated, there is so much that Castilla
La Mancha offers you, not least the delicious regional dishes and some
breathtaking National Parks.
The weather is best described as chalk and cheese. 3 months of fairly cold weather followed by 9 months of baking heat when in July and August the temperatures will have you rarely venturing out of the shade.
Castilla La Mancha is famous for being one of the largest wine-producing regions in the world and coupled with the local Manchego Cheese, is reason enough for anyone to head for this amazing region of Spain.
The region is famous for its windmills, immortalized in the Don Quixote stories. You will find many windmills throughout the area as wheat-growing is still a major agricultural sector here.
And finally, if you are thinking of going to live in Castilla La Mancha, then you will find that the cost of living and property prices are very cheap even when compared to other areas of Spain.
What are the Average Removal Costs from the UK to Castilla La Mancha Spain?
The average removal costs listed below are based on just a few pieces of furniture and the average contents of a 1 or 3-bedroom home.

Moving to Valencia Spain
Valencia Spain
Provinces: Valencia, Castellon, Alicante
Main Cities: Valencia, Benidorm, Alicante
Many Brits are familiar with Alicante and Benidorm of course, but to restrict your knowledge of this beautiful region of Spain to those two places would be to miss a gem of a region of Spain.
If you are thinking of going to live in Valencia you will find that it is a region with excellent transport connections, all the advantages of modern living such as super-fast internet connection, a laid back lifestyle, a family-centric community, super friendly people, a fresh and healthy diet, and a low cost of living.
The climate in Valencia is nowhere near as extreme as in some areas of Spain. The sea breeze helps keep the summer temperatures to a fairly comfortable low to mid-30 degrees.
Valencia City itself offers everything you would expect from a world-class university city. A blend of modern and old, great shops, beautiful public parks, cheap and reliable public transport, and the added bonus of a city beach.
Families relocating to Valencia will find that it is a very safe place to live, where kids can play out on the streets, or hang out with friends, late into the evening without you having any concerns for their safety.
You will never be short of things to see and do as there are music venues, art galleries, museums, fiestas, festivals, cafes, and restaurants galore, as well as a lively club and nightlife scene.
Head out of Valencia City itself and you will find a quiet and peaceful way of life where medieval villages and fort towns, and Moorish and Roman castles all vie to grab your attention away from the stunning views of orange groves, mountains, and beautiful lush green river valleys.
Valencia is far cheaper than what you will be used to paying to live in the UK, and compared to Madrid or Barcelona, it offers outstanding value for money.

Moving to Murcia Spain
Jorel, Murcia, Spain
Murcia is a single province in Spain.
Main City: Cartagena, Costa Calida
Away from the coastal hotspots, Murcia is not a region of Spain that would be on many people’s radar to relocate to. Located in the southeast of Spain, Murcia is bordered by Andalusia, Castilla La Mancha, and the Mediterranean Sea.
Why should you move to Murcia? The Murcia region is sparsely populated and has a low crime rate, it does not draw the crowds of tourists that many parts of Spain do, the lifestyle is laid back and relaxed, the food is amazing, and the wine is plentiful and cheap.
The cost of living in Murcia is very cheap if you want to live out in the countryside in one of the absolutely charming villages here, but even the main cities will give you a far higher standard of living for your money than back in the UK, or even many other regions of Spain.
With over 300 days of sunshine a year, mild winters, and very high-quality of air, the region is well suited to sufferers of asthma and arthritis.
There is a strong British expat community here, so whilst you should learn the Spanish language, you will find plenty of help and support should you need it.
If you are thinking of going to live in Murcia, you will find that this is a region that will immerse you in Spanish traditions. There are many local historical and cultural sites to visit, many castles to marvel at, and festivals and fiestas to enjoy, so Murcia has much to offer prospective residents.
The Costa Calida has over 170km of beaches, but it is the largest lake in Spain, Mar Menor, which draws the most people, famous for the Mar Menor’s Mud which is said to be therapeutic.
Murcia has a number of very good golf courses, as well as watersports, hiking, mountain biking, and other outdoor pursuits.
Although a very arid area, Murcia is one of the biggest producers of fruit, vegetables, and flowers in Europe, as well as being an important wine-producing region.
Finally, we must mention the historic port of Mazarron.
If you want to live on the coast, enjoy history and culture, breathtaking scenery, a place to relax and take life at a steady pace, spend lazy days on golden beaches, enjoy superb local food and wines, and immerse yourself in real Spain, then Mazarron should be high on your shortlist of places to move to in Murcia.

Moving to the Balearic Islands
Menorca, Balearic Islands
Provinces: Single Province
Major Cities: Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, Formentera
The appeal of the Balearics is undeniable for many people
looking to move abroad, over 300 days a year of beautiful weather, mild
winters, long sandy beaches, the support network of many expats who already
live here, and stunning scenery.
Mallorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands and has a large British expat community, in fact, 20% of residents here are not native. Mallorca is a playground for the rich and famous with over 40 marinas, 21 golf courses, and dozens of beautiful beaches.
Ibiza is world-famous as a partying hotspot, but there is far more to this island than the nightlife. Santa Eulalia is a favourite city for families, with an excellent international school, great shopping, laid-back nightlife, and a long sandy beach, it is a far cry from your stereotypical image of Ibiza.
Menorca is more laid back than Mallorca but still has a good-sized expat community. The northern coastline is where you will find the unspoiled part of the island, with secluded coves and rolling green hills. Mahon is the capital of Menorca and where many expats choose to live, Cala Llonga and Cuidadela are more exclusive areas and where the rich and famous are to be found.
Formentera is the most unspoiled and idyllic of all the Balearic Islands. You will not find the tourist traps of the other islands here, but equally, the property is not so readily available and there is a high demand for it.
What are the Average Removal Costs from the UK to the Balearic Islands?
The average removal costs below are based on just a few pieces of furniture and the average contents of a 1 or 3-bedroom home.

Moving to the Canary Islands
La Gomera, Canary Islands
Provinces: Las Palmas, Tenerife
Main destinations: Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran
Canaria
The Canary Islands are a diverse and beautiful part of Spain
to move to. There are the busy tourist hotspots that we are all familiar with,
but away from those you will find beautiful ancient forests, majestic
mountains, culture, and tranquility.
The Canary Islands are closer to Africa than Spain and therefore enjoy the year-round sun and a more comfortable temperature than inland Spain.
The community is here in multi-national with many British expats, and the history of the islands provides a mix of culture and cuisines that cannot be found anywhere else in Spain.
Whilst many expats going to live in the Canary Islands will tend to congregate and live in the main resorts, look to live outside of these areas and you will find the cheaper property, a better quality of life, and a more relaxed lifestyle.
The advantage of living in the resort areas is that it will not be so important to learn Spanish. But by confining yourself to the expat community here you will miss out on so much of the culture and benefits of being immersed in the native Spanish here.
The majority of Brits moving to the Canary Islands do so to retire and enjoy the beautiful weather whilst getting a better lifestyle for their money. However, if you still need to work then wages are low, unemployment is fairly high, and getting a job outside of the tourist industry is difficult.
That said it is far easier to live here on a modest income than it would be in the UK. The quality of life is far higher than you can expect in the UK, and you will never be far from some great beaches or beautiful countryside, why would you not want to move to the Canary Islands?
What is the Average Cost of Living in Tenerife?
www.expatistan.com estimates a family of 4 would need €2,643 per month and a single person €1,313 per month to live in Tenerife. Depending on your lifestyle and where you live, the cost of living in Tenerife could be lower.
www.expatistan.com also reports the average prices of everyday items in the Canary Isles and is updated regularly, so it is worth checking out if you want that information.
The cost of living in Tenerife is cheaper than in 64% of Spanish cities and cheaper than 92% of cities in Western Europe.
