A British expatriate pointed out a mistake made by immigrants when choosing a region to live in Spain

Many British retirees are attracted to Spain because of its warm climate, beautiful beaches, and relatively low cost of living. However, according to one expatriate, they may not make the right choice by moving to the south of the country, where there is a strong tourist influx throughout the year.

An expatriate who has been living in Spain for two years now claims that the northern part of the country is the best place to live for British expats seeking a change of scenery in a new phase of their lives. Express.co.uk writes about it.

He gives several reasons why he thinks so. First, the weather in northern Spain is milder than in the south. It can be challenging for Britons accustomed to a rainy climate to adapt to the heat of southern Europe, which is increasingly prone to forest fires and record high temperatures.

Second, northern Spain is less touristy than the south. This means that British retirees can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and avoid large groups of tourists. By the way, Spaniards have long preferred northern resorts for their vacations.

The third argument that the expat cited in favor of regions such as the Basque Country or Galicia is the excellent cuisine.

An expatriate said, "The food is better. While gazpacho and paella are good, the Basque region is known for its top-notch chefs and gourmet food. If I'm not mistaken, I believe San Sebastian has the most Michelin-starred restaurants in all of Spain."
