> Spain Is Doomed

So, generally speaking, this should make moving to Spain and working remotely from there pretty attractive, shouldn't it? Can anyone from Spain comment on how the life is like there at the moment (assuming the 100K USD income level)?



Spain is a nice country to live in. With that level of income you can live without any kind of economic problems. Our sanitary system is free and pretty good (for now), so no worries about medical insurance.

Crime rates are low, so no security problems neither. Cities like Madrid and Barcelona offer all kind of services and their public transportation is great (you don't even need a car). And, of course, our climate is really great.

In short: Spain is a good country to live in. Although all the news you can hear with "Spain is sinking, Spain is doomed" we still live (I'm talking from my experience) very well.


100K USD?

I make a third of that (a fourth after taxes) and live happily in a coastal town (Vilassar de Mar, if you want to GoogleMap it :)) 25 minutes by train from Barcelona, with my girldfriend (no income). So, yes, with 100K USD you'll be fine ;)
