An estimated 1 milliion Britains now live in Spain and after years of living like “Little England” are now intergrating into the Spanish way of Life!
In previous year Britons had moved to Spain and stayed in holiday type areas making there own communities and it has been very home from home with english being the main language. Increasingly a number of expatriates are now finding a way into real Spanish Life and are buying property in Spain.
Mojacar is an excellent example – Very few Spanish residents had been left in this Town in Almeria and in the 1960′s, the Government wanted to close it altogether. In a last ditch attempt they started to give away the beach side properties to ambassadors and artists, saving the town by throwing it open to foreigners. Today the expatriates outnumber the Spanish residents but the town still remain truly Spanish. This does not upset the Spanish Town Councillors as it has allowed them to further develop Mojacar and people can live there all year.

The locations that are slightly more remote are also proving to be extremely popular with people following the Spanish dream and are now looking to live it. With spiralling household costs, fuel and mortgage rates in the UK people are taking a close look at the life they are currently living in the UK and making these life changing decisions to move and are buying property in Spain.
