- Characteristics: great relaxed places where good life is often a bit more important than working life.
Living in Spain
- Language: English is spoken almost everywhere but without Spanish you remain an outsider.

- Characteristics: The real Spanish atmosphere creates a culture where many expatriates, emigrants and working nomads quickly feel at home. Not everyone integrates as quickly, and some locations are very internationally oriented, but in general there is an ideal place for everyone. Don't be alarmed if you are overrun by the somewhat older winter visitors during the winter.
