Going back over the thread I note your age, youngster! You can pay 60 euros a month to enter the Spanish Health care system. This enables you to exactly the same care as a Spanish resident. Check at the health centre where you intend to live, make sure you are on the padron and you may have to apply for Residencia.

tfso!
the wife got a job in Wellington. think we're planning on living a fair commute from there in a seaside town on the kapiti coast. house prices and schools are good and still have access to the city . just have to convince the Mrs the 50 min commute will be OK

I didn't really have the intention of going until recently. It was on my mind but nothing set in stone.

Not a chance, I do have kids and a grandson, but no way would I WANT to go back, obviously circumstances etc. could dictate otherwise but I have never regretted leaving the UK.
The advice you've been given is all pretty sound, i will reiterate, rent first, it's not a holiday, and however much you love Puerto Marina, Benalmadina etc, you may just find somewhere even better.
I don't think the language barrier will affect you too much around there tbh, but still worth learning, as I said you may find you will move on one day.
Good luck with the move, you will be waking up to sunshine nearly everyday, what's to regret?
I spent 20 years Asia, most of it in Japan. I came back for family reasons and it has taken me time to re-acclimatise. On balance it's good being near family, the Albion and there's a lot of little things that add up to quite a lot.
But I miss Japan and living overseas. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Yeah but you're choosing to go live in a country that's part of the organisation that you voted for this country to leave and presumably you disagree with. ?
Can you change your username please, it is very misleading

I want to go, trying to find the money for a trip to Hokkaido one winter.
I've recently returned back to the UK, not acclimatised at all.
Hokkaido is special I agree.
Acclimatising is a process of realising the grass isn't greener where you've just left. Or conning yourself if necessary!

How soon is now?
I was joking, although my place is for sale about 3 hours along the coast from Gib.
Learn the language, even if it's only to get the respect of your neighbours etc and it's a good language to learn
Personally I moved out there at the wrong time for me, but for the most part it's a nice place to be
