More Britons Choose to Move to Spain

Brexit worries aside, more and more Britons are choosing to move to Spain. In fact, currently, around 760,000 people from the British Isles now call Spain home (according to research conducted by the BBC) and that number seems set to grow. The number of Britons that the government in Madrid claims are now based in Spain is closer to 300,000. However, the guarantees from the Spanish government that the residency rights of those Britons in Spain will be protected even in a ‘No Deal’ Brexit has once again brought the country firmly into the limelight for those in search of the sun.

6. Food Glorious Food.
