🔎 EXCERPT 🔎
Looking for a sunny, affordable retirement destination in Spain
that isn’t overpriced like Barcelona or Valencia?
What if I told you there are Spanish cities with amazing weather,
high quality of life,
and low, low prices—without the tourist crowds?
You don’t have to spend a fortune to retire in Spain.
All you need is to take a closer look at certain Comunidades Autónomas
that I will tell you today
There you find spectacular cities with standards of living comparable to the best places in Europe
and it gets even better,
because some of these autonomous communities will offer you very special tax incentives.
Retiring in Spain doesn’t mean choosing between expensive cities or isolated villages
—you just need to know where to look and who to talk to -
So Today we will show you the best places to retire in Spain
in all autonomous communities except 3:
Andalusia, which we already covered in this video.
Valencia, which we already covered in this video.
and Catalonia, which is a quite complex region, so we might cover it in a future video - if you want us to make a video about Barcelona and Catalunya, tell us in the comment section.
So the first autonomous community we will talk about is Aragon
Aragon is a region in northeastern Spain, bordered by France to the north and Catalonia to the east.
Known for its diverse climate, this is NOT the region for those looking for mild winters.
For example, the capital, Zaragoza. is cold in the winter - temperatures below zero are not uncommon.
some people say that it is even colder than Madrid!
One curious fact is that part of the Pyrenees mountain range is inside this region and they have some interesting ski resorts
The most famous of them is the Formigal, which is also the largest in Spain.
Contrary to some of the regions that I will talk about in a few minutes, Aragon does not offer any specific tax benefit for expats,
However…
Several factors make Aragon an appealing destination for foreign retirees.

Wow, I don't know because I am really partial to Portugal but hey, I am keeping an open mind. But the people of Portugal are really good human beings just like it once was in Hawaii a long time ago.

You didn’t explain correctly the ZEC in Canarias. While 7% VaT tax is for all the Canarias, ZEC is a special agreement to establish a Company with some requirements depending the island, and have reduced corporate tax of 4%

Surprisingly, we didn't hear anything about Santiago de Compostela nor did we hear San Sebastian, and some more of the most interesting cities, especially since they are quite cosmopolitan, therefore you can survive without good Spanish - which is not the case in some of the places mentioned, Extremadura, for instance !

Asturia is beautiful, but too much rain.

Thanks for the video. Very helpful. Very interested in your upcoming video with the Tytle representative. When I looked into a move to Asturias it looked like there are both federal and "state" income taxes which, together, seemed to be a lot. would be interested to hear about what taxes expats are liable for in Spain.

Excellent video, full of helpful charts, data and information. Thank you for compiling this! I love that you so thoroughly covered less-touristy areas of Spain. I'm a US citizen and my husband has dual US & Spanish citizenship (born in Zaragoza). We are hoping to move to Spain and researching the potentially hefty tax implications. Castile y Leon in the summer, and the Canary Islands in the winter, sounds wonderful!

The key point to remember regarding retirement in Spain: The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.

Won’t be cheap for long, the moment foreigners start emigrating everything goes up that’s the norm and it affects more the locals, who struggles to compete and gets out price on everything.

Asturias or Cantabria in the summer, the subtropical coast of Granada (Motril, Salobreña) in the winter.
