Looking for the best town in Spain to live in retirement? Many consider retirement to be the golden age, as, after a lifetime of work, it is the time when we can dedicate time to ourselves, enjoy our hobbies and do all the things that work has not allowed us to do. In Spain, more than 300,000 people retire every year and many of them look for different retirement destinations. Coastal towns, with their beaches, quiet life, delicious cuisine and great weather are the most popular destinations for our retirees, so in this post we are going to talk about the best places to retire in Spain.
Costa del Sol, one of the best places to live in retirement
The Costa del Sol is one of the best places to live in retirement. Bathed by the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, its coastline stretches for more than 150 kilometres in the province of Malaga. Its paradisiacal white sandy beaches are perfect for relaxing, the delicious cuisine is also a major attraction, and the great climate, with over 325 days of sunshine a year, is excellent for those who suffer from arthritis or have rheumatological problems. All these reasons have earned Malaga an award as one of the cities with the best quality of life in Spain.
Furthermore, the Costa del Sol is very well connected with the rest of Spain and the world. Malaga airport has very good connections with other cities, so it is very easy to move to this city and stay in touch with loved ones.
Many towns in Malaga are ideal for settling down at this stage of life, so choosing the best town in Spain to live in as a retired person is a little tricky. However, after selecting the best towns based on their tranquillity and remoteness from the noise, we have chosen Mijas and Benalmádena.
Mijas is nestled in the mountains and has that typical Andalusian village charm. It is a white, quiet town, facing the sea, with a coastline full of comfortable beaches. The town is adapted to all needs.
Benalmádena is another popular town on the Costa del Sol, a place to relax, a dream destination by the sea which, despite being small, surprises visitors with all it has to offer.
Costa Castellón, a great place to retire in Spain
The Costa del Azahar, in the province of Castellón, is another of the best places to retire in Spain for those who like the east coast. Like the Costa del Sol, it has a long coastline with more than 120 kilometres of beaches with crystal clear waters and fine golden sand on which to relax. Famous are its long promenades, its exquisite gastronomy and its wide range of leisure activities. The climate is excellent throughout most of the year, with average temperatures of twenty degrees, which makes the Costa de Castellón one of the most popular destinations for retirees thanks to its great quality of life.
Moreover, it is also perfectly connected to the rest of Spain’s cities by train or road, and a powerful incentive is that Castellón has some of the lowest house prices in the whole of Spain.
The best town in Spain for retirement living could very well be one of the wonderful coastal towns in the province of Castellón. For our list, we have based our selection on towns that offer a quiet lifestyle, away from the noise and have all the services and infrastructures necessary for retirees to enjoy all the comforts of life. Peñíscola or Alcocéber are ideal destinations, the best places to live the “golden age”.
Peñíscola is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful towns in Castellón, an ideal place to retire, where sun, beach and a great family and cultural atmosphere are combined. Its beautiful and clean beaches, equipped with all kinds of services and facilities, make this the perfect place to retire.
Alcocéber is a town in a natural setting, in the Sierra de Irta mountain range, a place of great beauty where the mountains merge with the sea, giving rise to dream landscapes. Tranquillity is guaranteed in this small coastal town with about ten kilometres of coastline. It is without doubt a very peaceful and family-friendly destination, one of the best places to live in retirement and to enjoy its large beaches, all of which are of very good quality.
