I lived in the Costa Blanca a while back and thought that places there such as Javea and Moreira were my favourite locations. A good mix of locals and non Spanish.Hi all - I know that buying property abroad often comes up on here.
I was looking at the South of France but after watching A Place in the Sun - I've started to consider Spain.
It looks like great value but where do you start to look?
Any recommendations from people living there or planning a move??
Many thanks in advance
Iāll have you know I can drink tea and eat biscuits with the best of them!You've never worked 10 years ya idle get! Best wishes from row 26 hope your retirement dreams come true, they're very similar to ours
It's 90 days without a visa. You then have to leave for 180 days. That's your lot as far as travel goes in the Schengen area. The 90 days can be split.I lived in the Costa Blanca a while back and thought that places there such as Javea and Moreira were my favourite locations. A good mix of locals and non Spanish.
Great area to live.
We non EU members are allowed to stay in Spain for 9 weeks in and 9 weeks out methinks.
Almost, itās a max 90 days in any 180 and can be spread, 90 on 90 off if you do a full stretch. Iāve been coming and going to Lanza since we opened back up and the old Schengen days are dropping off my calendar now. So as long as you donāt want to spend three months solid itās ok. Weāre spending roughly one month on and one off. But you donāt have to leave for a full 180 days.It's 90 days without a visa. You then have to leave for 180 days.

Brexit hasn't done any favours to those looking to travel in retirement.
That 90 in any 180 is good to know, Iād interpreted it being in a calendar year ie 180 total per year so you could do 180 straight over winter (90+90 either side of New Yearās Day) though with it being 10 years away Iād not really looked in detail at the rules yet, so I guess Iāll revise my earlier aspirations to being Dec/Jan/Feb (90 days) over the winter.

, if you spent a full 90 here youād have to leave for 90.
Forget the mainland get out here to the Canaries for all year round sun
No probs, quite a few arenāt understanding. Itās got nothing to do with calender years, just any 90 in a rolling 180.That 90 in any 180 is good to know, Iād interpreted it being in a calendar year ie 180 total per year so you could do 180 straight over winter (90+90 either side of New Yearās Day) though with it being 10 years away Iād not really looked in detail at the rules yet, so I guess Iāll revise my earlier aspirations to being Dec/Jan/Feb (90 days) over the winter.

I'm not sure about your interpretation. I read it as "90 days in any 180" which I assume means you have to leave on day 90 and aren't allowed back until day 181. I have not read the regs recently, so I might be mistaken. You would have to leave the EU, it's a Schengen reg.That 90 in any 180 is good to know, Iād interpreted it being in a calendar year ie 180 total per year so you could do 180 straight over winter (90+90 either side of New Yearās Day) though with it being 10 years away Iād not really looked in detail at the rules yet, so I guess Iāll revise my earlier aspirations to being Dec/Jan/Feb (90 days) over the winter.

You are correct if you stay for the full 90 in one go, although the oldest days drop off all of the time, so day 97 you could come back for 7 days for example. We come about month on month off so are generally ok.I'm not sure about your interpretation.

I think I read that the coldest ever recorded here in Lanza was 9 deg C, but couldnāt swear by it. Rained two days ago and thatās the first Iāve seen here for two years, although Iām told there was some end Oct.Weather wise - the Canaries and Madeira are the warmest in the Winter - no snow or frost.
or you are an insomniac.Because you only plan to be there less than 50% of the year
