Spain is very well positioned to become a leading retirement haven in Europe. If Portugal, its next-door neighbour, has achieved notoriety among retirees as a great retirement destination. Then Spain can undoubtedly use its status as the premier tourism destination in Europe to become a leader in retirement living. Spain already has the advantage of having more demographic-specific accommodation available. Alot more than many other southern European countries. We will talk about the pensions regimes.
Pensions
Pensioners from many countries have become tax-resident in Spain. Although Spain is not among the world’s best tax regimes. The overall quality of life and lower cost of living is seen as much more important by most who move to the country.
