I love Malaga, being Irish but having lived most of my life in Australia when I retired in 2020 I set out on an adventure to find the ideal retirement destination, 112 countries later that venue is Spain, cost of living here is 70% less than Ireland and 107% less than Australia. With 300+ days of sunshine a year SPAIN and in particular Andalucia is a no brainer.

Kristin - I hope you and your family aren't affected by Hurricane Milton 😮 and are staying safe!

Asturias is breathtakingly beautiful, The Natural Paradise of Spain. Some counties like Ponga, Somiedo and Quiros you can drive miles without seeing a person or a house. The fishing villages are very quaint but unfortunately many people from Germany, UK and France are already buying many properties there and prices are going up.

[whazzas]

Beautiful videos of the plazas and cityscapes of these towns and cities. Makes me want to go travel. Well done!

I had the privilege of visiting Asturias last March after finding that my roots are from the region. Incredibly beautiful, wonderful food, culture and friendly, if a little reserved, locals. I spent the most time in Oviedo which I loved, but the whole region is amazing. This summer 2024 they just opened the high speed rail from Madrid. 3 hrs to Oviedo then Gijón. I think you will see more and more visitors as a result

[markuscg]

I think the Asturias region would be nice with the cooler weather and smaller population.

[DarthFurball]

Perfect timing and well presented. Thanks Kristin!

We lived in Gijon for 7 months its great place

[stevemellor]

Thanks for the information, Kristin. Having lived in 7 different countries, I am looking to going abroad again, this time as an ex-pat. I think I would enjoy Spain (perhaps northern Spain, where it's not so overwhelmed with tourism).

Please no more digital nomads/retired people with better salaries than the general wage... I thank you like spain but we can pay for housin anymore!!! retire and live somewhere else!! Malaga barely has water anymore, since it does not rain and to many people!!! People will stop being friendly (its happening in many places in spain now) because no way to make ends meet. Airbnb also need to be controled. In malaga we like tousit but no more digital nomads and all I said before. WE make around 1200€ a month here, no jobs and its getting very very hard to make govenment and the rest see the long term problem

[harryj]

There are huge anti tourist and anti expat movements in spain nowadays. In Barcelona tourists got "shot" with water guns. The housing situation in popular cities gets really critical. There are water shortages, especially in the south. So, think twice before coming to spain. If you want to come after all: 1. Learn the language. 2. Go to an area which isn't overcrowded and where you are not pushing out inhabitants. Such places do exists, but maybe not as much as appealing as Valencia or Màlaga. 3. Integrate in society and culture.

I am surprised that Granada didn't make your list.

[bergantin]

Has colocado el Alcázar de Segovia en Sevilla. Me gustó tu video. Saludos

[thinkplanetearth]

Well done video as per usual. Also, you look great. Your skin is glowing.

[annapaz]

Girona! ❤ 🇪🇸 Thx Kristin, and take care if you’re in Miami. I can’t believe the 🌀 season this year! I have friends in Bradenton and AMI, and Milton does not look good especially after just get hit. 🙏

At 10:02 you name the Alcazar of Seville (a palace built during the Roman Empire), but you post images of the Alcazar of Segovia (!) a fortress situated in SEGOVIA (not Seville), built in 1125 by King Alfonso VI of León. That's akin to posting a video about Buckingham Palace, showing images of Balmoral Castle. No one who has been in Spain would mix the Alcazar of Segovia with the Alcazar of Seville, it gives little credibility to the video.

[kevinporter]

nice shot of Coruña (0:55) I spent 11 years in Coruña, such a great city and people.

[MadalinIgnisca]

You listed areas extremly affected by real estate speculation, with increased overprice in last 2-3 years. Foreign people if look more pragmatic, could find areas of similar quality, but at half price.

[manuelfg]

Thank you Kristin, you prettier everyday ❤

Girona is also close to the beautiful town of Figueres which is the birthplace of Salvador Dali and the incredible Cap de Creus Park by the coast
