Retirees from the UK are still turning to Spain as their number one destination for spending time in their later years. Many UK nationals are now deciding to purchase Spanish property as an investment for their later years. There are a number of reasons for buying a property in Spain for the retirement years. The cost of living, for example, is much cheaper than it is in the UK. A couple can dine out at a good restaurant for less than 10 pounds. And the price of fuel is still considerably lower in Spain than it is in the UK. Medical care in Spain is also top-class with many towns and cities investing in new hospitals and medical infrastructure. Coupled with the Mediterranean climate and all year round sunshine, retirees couldn't hope for a more refreshing place to spend their time.  With sterling strengthening against the Euro and the relatively cheap price of property in Spain compared to 2007, there could not be a better time to purchase Spanish property for investment purposes. Despite its current economic problem, Spain still remains the number one retirement destination for Brits - beating Australia, the USA, France and Ireland - and property prices are still resillient making an investment in Spain a good option.
