Let’s hustle, let’s explore, and let’s get real about living the Spanish dream, with all its beauty and its challenges, right here, right now. Vamos a España, mi gente!
1. Pro: Non-Stop Action, Baby!
Listen, living in Spain isn’t just living, it’s an EXPERIENCE, and I’m all about that! There’s this electric energy, a vibe that just doesn’t quit. You’re not just residing; you’re ALIVE in the most vibrant way possible! Whether you’re into the arts, food, nature, or history, Spain is like, “I got you!”
You wanna talk activities? Let’s talk Flamenco shows that’ll light a fire in your soul, or walking the Santiago de Compostela and feeling every step in your spirit. And don’t even get me started on those world-class tapas or the adventures waiting in the Sierra Nevada National Park. It’s not just a must-do; it’s a must-FEEL, a must-LIVE!
Here’s the rundown, the best of the best in Spain:
Getting your heart and soul rocked at a Flamenco show in Seville
Diving into the rich, flavorful world of Paella in Valencia
Embarking on a tapas crawl in Madrid that’s more than food; it’s a journey
Dining in the world’s oldest restaurant and tasting history with every bite
Soaking up the sun on Spain’s most stunning beaches and letting every wave speak to your soul
2. Con: The Grind Never Stops
But hey, let’s keep it 100. Spain, as epic as it is, has its grind too. Some say it’s a dream to live but a hustle to work in, and that’s a real talk. The workdays? They’re long, stretching from 9AM to 7:30PM. But here’s the thing: it’s not just about the hours; it’s about the culture.
You’ll find workers sharing stories, sending those personal emails, and yeah, taking those long lunches and breaks. It’s a rhythm, a style that’s uniquely Spain. And when summer rolls around, you better have that annual leave stacked because come August, Spain hits the pause button.
But even with those long hours, Spain doesn’t drop the ball on working conditions. We’re talking a minimum wage of $1,185 USD per month. So, it’s a balance, a give-and-take. You dive into the hustle, embrace the grind, but Spain, with its vibrant life and soulful experiences, gives back in ways you can’t even imagine. It’s a ride, and if you’re ready to roll with it, Spain is ready for you! Let’s get it!
3. Pro: Beaches That’ll Blow Your Mind!
Alright, let’s talk Spain and let’s talk BEACHES! Spain isn’t just rocking a coastline; it’s flaunting a whopping 4,828km—that’s 3,000 miles—of it! It’s not just a pro; it’s a lifestyle, a vibe that’s all about those endless horizons and that golden sand beneath your feet.
Now, sure, you’ve got your hotspots like Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol, and yeah, they can get packed. But let’s dive deeper. Let’s talk La Concha Beach in San Sebastian, nestled up there on the northeast coast, whispering sweet nothings to France. This isn’t just a beach; it’s a European icon, a jewel that’s got people raving about its beauty.
But Spain’s not stopping there. Check these out:
Playa de Las Catedrales, where nature’s architecture will leave you speechless
Playa del Silencio, where every wave tells a story
Ses Illetes in Formentera, where the water invites you into a world of tranquility
The beaches of Sitges, Catalonia, where every grain of sand has a tale to tell
Nerja in Costa del Sol, where the sun and sea dance in a melody just for you
It’s not just about visiting; it’s about immersing, diving into every moment, and letting Spain’s beaches write a chapter in your story!
4. Con: Stay Sharp, Stay Smart
But hey, let’s navigate the flip side. Spain, with all its charm and allure, has its challenges, and one we’re diving into is pickpocketing. It’s a reality, especially in those tourist hotspots. And yeah, it’s known that nabbing goods under $440 USD might land those sticky fingers in jail, but that doesn’t stop the hustle.
Foreigners, you’re on the radar, especially in those buzzing areas like Gran Via, Sol Paseo del Prado, and near the Palacio Real in Madrid. And Barcelona? Keep those eyes peeled and belongings tight in Las Ramblas, the Gothic Quarter, and around the Sagrada Familia.
But here’s the spin: Don’t just be cautious; be SMART. Make yourself a tough target. Hug that bag close, keep those eyes wide, and dance with your surroundings. It’s about moving through Spain not in fear, but in confidence, embracing every moment, every experience, with your smarts in tow. Let’s navigate the highs and the lows with equal zest and let Spain unfold its tales, unfiltered and unabridged! Let’s GO!
5. Pro: Art That’s Pulsing Through Every Street!
Let’s dive into the heart of Spain, and I’m talking ART, baby! Spain doesn’t just ‘have’ an art scene; it IS an art scene, a canvas where every stroke, every color, is a story waiting to be lived! This isn’t just a pro; it’s the soul of the country, lighting up every corner with galleries and festivals that’ll shake your core!
Madrid isn’t just a city; it’s an epicenter of art, a place where every space, every wall, is whispering tales through its vibrant visuals. But Spain’s not holding back; it’s spreading that artistic fire from Soho to Zaragoza, from Santander to Tudela, and all the way through Zamora, Cuenca, Estepona, Calpe, Vigo, and Bilbao!
And if galleries are your jam, get ready to have your mind blown:
La Fiambrera, where every piece is a journey
Alcion Art Gallery, where every exhibit is an adventure
Museo del Prado, where every era comes alive
Reina Sofía, where contemporary meets classic
Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, where every collection tells a new tale
It’s not just about seeing; it’s about feeling, experiencing, and letting every piece of art in Spain touch your soul and ignite your spirit!
6. Con: The Hustle is Real, But So Are You
But let’s navigate the waves, and one of those is the high unemployment rate. Yeah, Spain’s rocking a 13.26%, the highest among EU countries, and that’s a challenge, especially for the newcomers, the dreamers, the hustlers.
Young folks, fresh out of university, often find themselves over-qualified and in a tight spot. But here’s where the hustler mindset kicks in: It’s not about the obstacle; it’s about your MOVE!
If you’re a foreigner eyeing Spain, consider locking down that job before making the leap. And remember, the digital world is your playground! Remote jobs, like teaching English online, are not just opportunities; they’re your ticket to navigate through the challenges, to turn that con into a pro, and to keep that dream alive!
It’s about facing the highs and the lows with that same fire, that same passion, and letting every experience, every challenge, shape your journey, not define it! Let’s hustle, let’s navigate, and let’s turn every page of our Spanish adventure with boldness and heart! Let’s GO!
7. Pro: The Flavor Explosion That is Spanish Cuisine!
Let’s get into it - Spanish food isn’t just a meal; it’s a FLAVOR EXPLOSION, a journey where every bite is a new adventure, and that’s a massive pro! Spain doesn’t just ‘do’ food; it celebrates it, embraces it, and serves it up with a side of life!
We’re talking Tapas, those small bites that pack a punch, that tell a story in every nibble, whether you’re diving into mixed olives and cheese or getting down with some hot chopitos (fried baby squid).
And the hits keep coming with dishes like paella, gazpacho, tortilla espanola, and churros lighting up the culinary scene. Street food? It’s not just a snack; it’s an experience, a must-try that’ll connect you with the heart of Spain in the most delicious way possible!
8. Con: The Language Dance
Now, let’s flip the script and talk language. Spanish, the second most spoken language globally, can be a con if it’s not in your repertoire, especially navigating through Spain’s rich tapestry of accents and dialects.
Outside the big city vibes of Barcelona and Madrid, finding English speakers can be a hustle. But here’s the hustler mindset: It’s not a barrier; it’s a bridge to be built!
Before making Spain your home, dive into some basic phrases, get familiar, and turn that language barrier into a language adventure! It’s about stepping into the unknown with confidence, embracing the challenge, and letting every new word, every misstep, become a step towards becoming a part of the vibrant, diverse world that is Spain!
Let’s learn, let’s grow, and let’s let every pro and con shape our journey, not dictate it! Spain is calling, and it’s not just about answering; it’s about diving in, full flavor, full heart, full soul! Let’s DO THIS!
9. Pro: Spain’s Scenery is a Soulful Symphony!
Let’s dive into the heart of Spain, where every landscape is a melody, every view a symphony that fills the soul! Spain isn’t just scenic; it’s a visual masterpiece, a pro that’s painting every moment with breathtaking beauty!
Whether you’re soaking in the crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches along the coast or getting lost in the majestic mountains and cascading waterfalls in the North and South, Spain is whispering, “Fall in love with every view.”
Playa de Bolonia on the Costa de la Luz in Andalucia isn’t just stunning; it’s a playground for the adventurous, a haven for windsurfers ready to ride the waves of excitement! And if you’re looking to get intimate with unique landscapes, Las Médulas, a UNESCO world heritage site, is calling your name!
From North to South, Spain is a tapestry of diverse landscapes, from towering mountain ranges to lush, green expanses that invite you to explore, to connect, to be. My time working at a yoga retreat in the mountainous town of Benisivá wasn’t just work; it was an embrace of every hike, every outdoor moment that Spain generously offers.
Whether you’re escaping the city for a day or immersing yourself in the countryside for a week, Spain is ready to serenade your spirit with its natural wonders!
10. Con: The Battle to Preserve Nature’s Majesty
But let’s navigate the terrain of cons, and one that’s real is the diminishing natural areas. As populations swell, those untouched Spanish havens are transforming, making way for expansion and growth.
Natural areas, especially away from the beach, are becoming a rare gem in the midst of development. And with challenges like drought and heatwaves, places like the Donana wetland are feeling the pressure, impacting wildlife and crops.
But here’s the mindset shift: The natural areas that still stand, that still offer their beauty and tranquility, are there for us all to cherish, to protect, and to enjoy. It’s about embracing and preserving the natural symphony that Spain still generously plays for every soul that seeks its melody.
Let’s explore, let’s appreciate, and let’s move through Spain with a spirit that honors every pro and navigates every con with heart, soul, and unbridled passion! Spain is not just a destination; it’s an experience, a journey, and it’s waiting for YOU! Let’s dive in! Let’s LIVE IT!
11. Pro: Spain’s Locals are Your Instant Fam!
Let’s talk about the heartbeat of Spain - the PEOPLE! Spain isn’t just friendly; it’s a warm embrace, a welcoming smile, and an open heart that says, “You’re family here!” Spanish locals aren’t just extroverted; they’re your instant friends, your allies in this beautiful journey!
If you’re seeking a place where every face is a friendly one, where every interaction is a connection, Spain is shouting, “Welcome home!” Expect smiles, expect hearty conversations, and expect to be enveloped in a warmth that’s genuine, polite, and downright joyful!
And yeah, they talk—a lot! So gear up to dive into conversations, to share stories, and to be a part of the vibrant, carefree, and laid-back tapestry that is Spain! It might be an adjustment, but soon you’ll be exchanging hellos, sharing smiles, and finding friends in every corner!
As a Canadian, finding that friendliness, that politeness that’s so akin to home, was a heartwarming experience. It’s not just about being welcomed; it’s about being a part of something, a community, a family that spans every street, every city, every part of beautiful Spain!
12. Con: Navigating Through the Bureaucratic Jungle
But let’s pivot and tackle a con - the red tape, the bureaucratic maze that’s been a longstanding issue in Spain, especially spots like Catalonia. For expats looking to plant roots, it can be a real challenge.
Getting those official docs can turn into a headache, sometimes even a deterrent from making the move. And yeah, the language barrier with officials and documents not being in English can amplify the simplest tasks into monumental challenges.
The bureaucracy, often stemming from a seemingly corrupt administration, creates processes that can feel like deciphering an ancient code. But here’s where the hustle, the hustler mindset kicks in: It’s not a barrier; it’s a puzzle, and you’ve got the pieces!
If your Spanish isn’t fluent, consider linking up with a gestor or gestoria, an administrative advisor. They’re your guide through the bureaucratic jungle, making processes decipherable and manageable without breaking the bank.
And hey, befriending locals or Spanish-speaking expats isn’t just about companionship; it’s about building a network, a support system that might just lend you a helping hand through the officialdom and red tape!
It’s about navigating through the pros and cons with spirit, with determination, and turning every challenge into a step forward in your Spanish adventure! Let’s embrace it, let’s live it, and let’s turn every moment into a chapter of our epic journey in Spain! Let’s GO!
13. Pro: Spain’s Weather is a Standing Ovation!
Let’s talk about something that’s lighting up Spain - the WEATHER! Spain isn’t just sunny; it’s a perpetual standing ovation of fantastic weather, especially when summer rolls around, giving me those Australia vibes!
Spain’s rocking that warm subtropical climate, with the Mediterranean kissing the North Eastern coast and a more continental vibe in the central highlands. It’s a weather symphony that plays all year round, with each season dropping a different beat!
Winter and fall might drop the temp a bit, but it’s still a warm melody that lets you dive into outdoor adventures without missing a beat. And summer? It’s a hot, dry anthem that can hit higher than 35℃ (95℉)!
Spring, from April to June, is like Spain’s greatest hits album - not too hot, just perfect for terrace meals and nature escapes (but keep that light umbrella handy for those April showers).
With 3,000 hours of sunshine playing annually, Spain is delivering sunny days, no matter the season, no matter the reason!
14. Con: The Cultural Dance
But let’s navigate the cultural dance, where moving to Spain might drop a beat that’s a bit different, a bit unexpected. One of the most noticeable differences? Those welcoming little kisses as greetings. For expats, it might be a step out of the comfort zone, but it’s a part of the dance!
Spain moves to a laid-back, relaxed rhythm, and it might take a minute to get used to the pace. Late arrivals and leisurely journeys aren’t rudeness; it’s a lifestyle, a different tune than what you might find in Canada, America, or New Zealand.
And the “siesta”? It’s not just a break; it’s a cultural note that resonates across Spain. Shops and businesses hit pause, and respecting that siesta time is key to harmonizing with the local vibe.
It’s about embracing the cultural dance, moving with the differences, and letting every new step, every new note, become a part of your Spanish melody. It’s not just about living in Spain; it’s about dancing with it, moving with it, and letting every pro and con become a part of your vibrant, adventurous Spanish symphony! Let’s dance, let’s live, and let’s make every moment count! Let’s GO!
15. Pro: Spain’s Cost of Living is a Win!
Let’s dive into a massive pro of living in Spain - the cost of living! It’s not just low; it’s a win that lets you live, explore, and enjoy without breaking the bank! Considering the cost of living before moving abroad is crucial, and Spain is dropping a beat that says, “Your budget’s got this!”
When I was living in the Czech Republic, snagging a month’s worth of groceries for $200 USD was a vibe! And Spain? It’s delivering a similar tune!
Imagine living in the heart of Madrid, in a one-bedroom, fully furnished apartment, and only dropping between $925 – $1,150 USD monthly!
And if you step out of the city center, you’re looking at a sweet $550-$680 USD per month!
And the groceries? They’re dropping a budget-friendly beat:
12 eggs – Rocking between $1.85 – $2.26 USD
1lb of chicken – A smooth $2.56 – $3.12 USD
Rice and potatoes – A cool $0.48 – $0.59 USD
Beer – Just $0.81 – $0.99 USD
16. Con: The City Living Price Tag
But let’s flip the record and talk about a con - the higher housing costs in those major cities, even with that overall low cost of living.
Cities like Barcelona, Madrid, Bilbao, and Palma de Mallorca, they’re dropping a pricier beat, with rental prices often hitting around $1,000 USD per month for a one-bedroom spot in the city’s heart.
But here’s the remix: those apartments and houses usually come fully furnished, adding value to that price tag, making it a bit easier to justify the cost.
It’s about navigating the pros and cons, turning every beat, every note, into a part of your Spanish adventure. Whether it’s enjoying the low cost of living or navigating the city living price tag, it’s all part of the melody, all part of the journey. Let’s embrace it, let’s live it, and let’s make every moment in Spain a note in our adventurous symphony! Let’s DO THIS!
17. Pro: Spain’s Healthcare is a Knockout!
Let’s dive into a massive WIN of living in Spain - the healthcare system! Spain isn’t just rocking a good healthcare vibe; it’s delivering one of the BEST healthcare systems not just in Europe, but globally! Whether you’re a local or a foreigner, Spain’s got your back with top-tier healthcare that doesn’t drain the wallet!
A lot of folks, both locals and expats, opt for private health insurance, cutting down those wait times, getting you in front of specialist doctors, and often connecting you with English-speaking doctors!
But keep this on your radar: while the healthcare system throws a punch with coverage, dental care isn’t fully in the ring unless we’re talking about kids 15 and under.
18. Con: Navigating the Compact Living Spaces
But let’s pivot to a con - navigating through the compact living spaces, especially in buzzing cities like Barcelona and Madrid. Your wallet’s gonna feel it, and the living spaces are gonna be on the snug side.
But here’s the flip: if you step into smaller cities or rural areas in Spain, your money stretches further, giving you more bang for your buck in the living space department.
To drop a comparison: an average rental apartment in Barcelona is chilling at 969 square feet, while over in New York City, it’s 866 square feet.
It’s about maneuvering through the pros and cons, turning every challenge into a step, every pro into a celebration, and making every moment of your Spanish adventure a chapter in your epic journey! Whether it’s basking in the win of outstanding healthcare or navigating through compact living spaces, it’s all part of the story, all part of the adventure. Let’s live it, let’s embrace it, and let’s make every moment in Spain COUNT! Let’s GO!
19. Pro: Spain’s Chill Vibe Lifestyle
Let’s talk about the Spain vibe, the laid-back, soak-in-every-moment lifestyle that’s all about LIVING. Spain isn’t just chill; it’s a lifestyle that says, “We’re here to enjoy every second.” It’s a stark contrast to the hustle of Canada or America.
The local mindset? Work to LIVE, not live to work. That means more time for leisure, more time with friends and family, and more moments that matter.
The Spanish workday? It’s split! Morning kicks off around 9AM, rolls until 2PM, and then we’re back in action from 5PM to 8PM. And that gap? That’s the iconic Spanish siesta.
And if you’re running late? No stress. It’s part of the lifestyle here.
20. Con: The Slow Roll of Lines
But let’s flip the script to a con - the slow-moving lines and things not always running on time, a side effect of that laid-back lifestyle.
Things move at their own pace, especially with workers (looking at you, government agents) who aren’t stressing about time or the length of the line.
It’s a big shift from my time in Germany, where punctuality and reliability were the beats everyone moved to. There was a comfort in that efficiency.
21. Pro: Public Transport is Rocking It
Even with the slow lines and chill vibes, Spain is dropping a beat with killer public transport options.
Cities are rocking the metro, an underground train system that’s safe, affordable, and effective. Yeah, it’s bustling during rush hour, but outside of that? Smooth sailing.
No metro? Buses are your jam, moving you around towns and cities and being a top pick for regional travel in Spain.
And heads up: some coastal towns and rural spots? Buses only.
Spain’s also got a high-speed train network connecting most of the country, making city-to-city travel a breeze.
It’s about embracing the pros, navigating the cons, and turning every beat, every note, into a part of your Spanish adventure. Whether it’s soaking in the laid-back lifestyle, navigating slow lines, or hopping on public transport, it’s all part of the rhythm, all part of the journey. Let’s live it, let’s embrace it, and let’s make every moment in Spain a chapter in our epic story! Let’s CRUSH IT!
22. Con: The Chill in Customer Service
Alright, let’s dive into this: Spain, you’re beautiful, but your customer service? It’s on that slow roll. Whether you’re at a cafe waiting to get seated, or you’re in a shop waiting to try on that killer outfit, expect to be...waiting.
Need to pay at a restaurant or grab tickets at a museum? Buckle up for a bit of a wait. It’s not about being ignored; it’s just the pace of the place.
23. Pro: Expats, You Can Own Your Space Here
Now, let’s flip the script: Buying property in Spain for expats? It’s a pretty smooth ride. First things first, you’ll need an NIE financial number, which you can snag from a local police station.
Heads up: The NIE might take a few weeks to land in your hands, so get on that application well before you’re property hunting.
The property game here is pretty standard: Find your spot, make an offer, and get into those price negotiations with the seller. And while it’s not a legal must, consider bringing a solicitor or notary into the mix to help seal the deal.
24. Con: August is Nap Time for Businesses
Now, here’s a curveball: Spain takes a collective pause in August. It’s like the country hits the “pause” button for a month, and if you’re expecting life to roll on as usual, you might hit a few roadblocks.
Why the mass closure? Universities shut down in August, students head home or hit the holiday trail, and since a lot of businesses vibe off that student energy and foot traffic, they take a breather too.
But let’s be clear: August in Spain isn’t a total shutdown. You’ll still find spots to grab a bite, shop, and hit up attractions. But if you’re looking to get official docs sorted? That might be a bit of a mission.
So here’s the beat: Spain’s got its rhythm, its pros, and its cons. Whether you’re navigating the slow roll of customer service, buying your own spot, or figuring out the August pause, it’s all part of the journey. It’s about finding your flow in the Spanish beat and making every moment, every pause, and every play a part of your epic tale. Let’s navigate it, let’s live it, and let’s WIN it, together!
25. Pro: Spain’s Rolling Out the Red Carpet for Your Pets
Listen up, all my pet parents out there! If you’re like me, rolling with your four-legged friend wherever you go, Spain’s got your back. This place is a dream for pet lovers, and here’s why:
Hotels, restaurants, especially those chill terraces, they’re welcoming your pets with open arms. Now, the beach scene – it’s a bit of a mixed bag. Summer? Not so much. But winter? They loosen up those leash laws.
And if you’re looking for the MVP of pet-friendly spots in Spain, Gijón is where it’s at. Hotels, eateries, beaches – they’re all about embracing the paw life.
But let’s get practical for a second: Traveling in and around Spain with your furry buddy means ticking a few boxes. We’re talking pet passport, a chip, and that crucial rabies jab before you step foot in Spain.
And once you’re there, the vet scene has you covered, from your standard check-ups to specialized surgeries.
So here’s the deal: Spain isn’t just friendly; it’s pet-friendly. It’s a place where your fur baby isn’t just tolerated; they’re welcomed. So pack those bags, grab the leash, and let’s make some memories in a place that’s ready to love your pet almost as much as you do!
Conclusion:
