I'm rather surprised by the responses posted to living in Spain.

My intention had been, prior to the Brexit decision to move to Spain, perhaps a Catalan villa costing about 1/6th of the value of my current home, and to enjoy the improved weather, lower heating costs, cycling through the vegetable groves, with a guarantee of health exchange and indexed linked pension.

But the posts here seem to indicate that this will not necessarily be what it seems.
