Life In Spain
Considering the fact that Spain is a member of the European Union, it is easy to travel to other countries in the region. Although it will definitely help if you speak the language, English is spoken by people in the bigger cities. Sadly, you might want to rethink about living in Barcelona because prices have increased with the influx of tourists and expats. However, Valencia is not bad at all when you can get a one-bedroom apartment for $525 in the city and $400 outside. Gran Canaria is also an affordable option with excellent temperatures that range from 68 degrees to 80 degrees. Health care is pretty affordable and private doctors and hospitals are accessible. Many pharmacies do not require prescription for many non-addictive medication as well.

Malta
We think it is a perfectly understandable if you do not like the thought of learning a language from scratch. If this applies to you, Malta is a country you should consider for your retirement plans. English is the second language in the island, and it is guaranteed to make life that much easier for you. Although it is not especially famous among retirees, it might be only be because they have not heard of it just yet. Located off the coasts of Africa and Sicily, the country has the ideal climate the entire year. You might not know it, but it boasts of beautiful architecture and lovely sights to rival those in Rome!
