It all depends on what you want from life.

Peace and quiet in comfortable surroundings. Pleasant views over orange groves to local mountain ranges. A flat easy to manage plot. An attractive villa with a touch of "Je ne sais quoi". Maybe just a lovely covered terrace perfect for relaxing and reading a book perhaps whilst keeping an eye on the pool. A stroll to the local restaurant even.

Life in Spain can offer many rewards (plus a few challenges, but they're part of the fun). Life in Spain in the right villa can offer much more.
