If Spain is anything like Portugal it would have appeal, for sure. The only way I could become an expat is to be able to travel back home twice a year and have a fund set aside to be able to go at a moments notice if I needed to. I've been conditioned over the past 29 years though to be 800 miles away from immediate family. It would be a dream come true to buy 10 or so acres on the west coast of Ireland and build tiny homes for all the family members.
