Cost of Living

GoinGlobal’s career experts regularly update details about inflation, purchasing power, and costs of goods and services. Below is a brief excerpt from this section:  

Spain is a perennial favorite among expats, digital nomads and retirees due to its high quality of life and affordability. Generally, costs vary significantly depending on your location. Typically, life in the south is cheaper than in the northern provinces, and smaller cities tend to be more affordable than bigger urban centers. Popular tourist destinations, particularly coastal towns during the summer season, are pricier than other areas.

Even with recent high inflation, Spain remains one of the least expensive countries in Western Europe. It has below-average prices for the most basic consumer items in the EU, according to Eurostat. Inflation, and thus prices, are expected to remain high this year. The country’s energy sector is particularly vulnerable to price fluctuations.

This is just a brief sample of the extensive information in the GoinGlobal Spain Career Guide.
