Spain: Lifestyle, Culture, and Opportunity
Spain is the largest country in Southern Europe and the fourth most populous in the European Union. It has a rich history, beautiful beaches, with strong healthcare and education systems.
Spain has one of the lowest cost of livings compared to many other parts of Europe, making it an attractive destination for those on the hunt for an affordable lifestyle.
Why choose Spain?
Spain’s beautiful sunny weather, safety in larger cities, and top-ranked international schools are some of the most obvious draws. It’s no wonder Spain is the best choice for expats, topping the charts for many rankings.
Spain’s Citizenship by Democratic Memory Law
Spain’s Citizenship by Democratic Memory Law allows people who have or had Spanish parents or grandparents who left the country during the civil war to apply for Spanish citizenship.
