The South of Spain has an exceptionally good "Quality of Life". You can live very well. Spanish people are very friendly. Most people speak English. A lot of the condominiums and homes on the "Spanish Riviera" are owned by British, Norwegian, Swedish, American, and Canadian individuals. Most of the condominiums and homes are very modern with community or private swimming pools, elevators, washers, dryers, flat-screen televisions, internet, cable television, and air conditioning. Some allow pets, and some do not allow pets.
The South of Spain can include larger cities like Malaga, Torremolinos, or Marbella on Costa Del Sol to smaller beautiful cities like Almunecar, La Herradura, and Motril on the Costa Tropical. The smaller towns tend to be less expensive. The South of Spain is serviced by Malaga International Airport and Granada International Airport with very reasonable rates from the USA and Canada.
