Hi @DJFAHRNBRUCH Thanks for your question!
Alicante is lively, sunny, and inexpensive, but it’s also charming and fairly sophisticated. Its ambience is as Spanish as Madrid’s. The Costa Blanca’s climate is arguably the best in Europe, with 325 sunny days a year and low humidity.
Expats from the U.K., northern Europe, and Latin America make up about 15% of the permanent population, so English is widely spoken. Alicante’s airport, the gateway to sprawling Benidorm and other Costa Blanca resorts, hosts flights from across Europe.
To permanently move to Alicante and enjoy all it has to offer, you will need:
A visa that grants you the right to live in Spain. For this you will need the contact information of an immigration attorney who can help you.
Somewhere to live - either a long-term rental or a property to purchase. For this you will need the contact information of a real estate agent in Alicante.
Health insurance - provided by a Spanish insurer or an international insurer with a Spanish arm.
(Optional) A moving or relocation company to transport your belongings to Spain.
You can find all of these contacts, plus tons more information about moving to Spain, in our Escape to Spain guidebook.
