Retirement in Spain is for people who are mentally finished and are ready to spend the rest of their days sitting in the sun and drinking wine or whatever, chatting to their chums from Chelsmford, watching East Enders on Sky TV.
That sounds remarkably like my wife's parents, who live 10 miles from Murcia.
They are selling up and moving to France though. They've found a nice 4 bed place near La Rochelle, with enough acres to have a decent grass strip and will stick £100k in their back pocket from the move.
Bit of a no brainer really.
Especially when you have seen the summer traffic on the N332 between Murcia and Torrevieja
