If you're planning to buy a home in Spain but aren't sure where you'd like
to live, or just wish to compare locations in your chosen area, this is THE
BOOK for you! The purpose of The Best Places to Buy a Home in Spain -
now enlarged and completely revised - is to provide you with the information
necessary to help you choose the region or town that will satisfy your family's
requirements. Most important of all, it will help you avoid buying a home in
the wrong area and having to uproot yourself after a few years.
Spain offers something for everyone and the choice can be
overwhelming. Perhaps you wish to live on an island in the Balearics or
Canaries. Or maybe you fancy a home in one of mainland Spain's many
coastal regions. On the other hand, you may prefer the faster pace of life in
a Spanish city such as Barcelona, Madrid or Seville. With so many inviting
regions and towns to choose from it can be a difficult decision, particularly
as the climate, lifestyle and cost of living can vary considerably from region
to region, and even within a region. Your decision will depend on your
preferences, your financial resources and, not least, whether you plan to
work. If you intend to look for employment or start a business, you must live
in an area that allows you the maximum scope.
For many people, choosing the location for a home in Spain is a case of
pot luck. However, with a copy of The Best Places to Buy a Home in Spain
to hand you'll have a wealth of priceless information at your fingertips -
information derived from a variety of sources, both official and unofficial, not
least the hard-won experiences of the author, her friends, colleagues and
acquaintances. This book will also reduce your risk of making an expensive
mistake that you may bitterly regret later and help you to make informed
decisions and calculated judgements, instead of costly mistakes and
uneducated guesses (forewarned is forearmed!). Not least, it will save you
money and repay your investment many times over.
Buying a home in Spain is a wonderful way to make new friends, broaden
your horizons and revitalise your life - and it provides a welcome bolt-hole
to recuperate from the stresses and strains of modern life. I trust this book
will help you choose the most appropriate area and smooth your way to
many happy years in your new home in Spain, secure in the knowledge that
you've made the right decision.
