typical living costs in Almeria area

Mobile phones try lobster 12 euro a month.

A previous post on here said health cover 90 euros a month for a couple although this would obviously depend on any health issues. 

Good luck

Thanks JAS

Looking into buying 3bed villa in Albox with private pool in the near future 

need to know what cost it will involve per month mortgage free 

 how much do we need to live comfortably

  we have a car do we have to go for a driving test in Spain 

Can we register our car or do you think it is better to buy a Spanish car 

Hi, it would all rather depend on how you wish to live, is for example the pool heated / cooled?  How much of a garden do you plan to have and how much water will you consume?  Is the villa connected to mains water or is it bought in by tanker?  Will you have AC units throughout the villa, will you be on mains electricity?  So many variables but if I were you I would at least double your estimates, if it comes in lower then great.   

Good luck 

The UK government website has lots of useful information about living overseas.  It is also fact based so may prove more useful than anecdotal information.  

Hope this helps. K
