Many people dream of living in Spain. But this is nothing new. Since the 1950s, many have enjoyed vacationing, living and discovering Spain. And since then, every year, thousands of people have travelled to Spain for sunbathing, swimming and escaping the dark and cold winter.
Even some choose to spend all winters in Malaga, Marbella or the Canary Islands, where the temperature is rarely below 10 degrees. Others work remotely and stay a few months. And others prefer staying a while longer and make Spain their permanent home.
