It's a fact -the British love affair with Spain goes on and on. Millions of us go there every summer - to enjoy the weather, lively nightlife, stylish shopping and gorgeous scenery.

Spain is also becoming the perfect place to re-locate to being so accessible with so much to do and enjoy on a daily basis. More and more people are pulling up their roots and investing abroad for a better return for their money.

Spain is a popular choice and the Costa Blanca in particular can not only provide a better quality of life, but is also a sound financial investment.

The cost of living there is much lower than the UK. Approximately £20 a week running costs on an average sized property includes electricity, gas, water rates, community charges and house and contents insurance.

The area is agricultural and has little industry. And for those suffering with rheumatism, arthritis and chest ailments, the air is clean and recommended by the World Health Authority as one of the healthier places in the world.

Medical facilities on the Costa Blanca are excellent, there is a local 24 hour clinic and brand new fully equipped hospital. And persons receiving state pensions in the UK qualify for free medical care.

It's also a golfing paradise with many first class courses with green fees as little as 24 euros.
