He had everything thought, after more than 30 years working in a company in the real estate sector, in the Department of Engineering and New Technologies, he wanted to retire next to the sea. Therefore, she and her husband began to look for a city or small municipality on the coast of Florida where to buy a house with her savings and enjoy the dream retirement.
But they found nothing in America. One night, while searching for Facebook they found a town in Spain that fell in love from the first day. Retire on Costa Blanca, to Like other older ones such as Alan (74 years)it began to be a fairly affordable option.

“Life was about this? To go to university, leave the skin working more than 30 years, have children, send them to study and then collapse of exhaustion?” Wrote Tara Anderson on the blog MOVETOTRAVELING where he has told his story. “I have worked decades as an engineer and real estate agent in Silicon Valley and we felt squeezed with constant stress, fast food to undo and no time for us.”
Retireing on the beach was impossible
In the United States, getting a house next to the sea pays expensive. So much that with the money they had at the bank I did not reach them. To decide to make your bags and start a new life of retirees in Spain it was enough to review the prices of the housing in Florida, for example. “It was discarded, I hate that place and the price of houses.” “We realized that retirement on the beach was unassumable, even with all our savings.”
His partner of the time, Adam, who was English, proposed to look for something in Europe. “First we thought of Portugal but we put it aside because it was very tourist in winter, and thanks to the advice of a friend I found the magic word: Spain.”
First they wanted to move to Jávea, but although they liked the city a lot, it did not fit the lifestyle they needed. It was then that Denia appeared. “I had everything, beach, port, historic center, Castillo … I was alive all year and could go on foot.”
Then, they visited the town as tourists, in 2017. “We met other foreign citizens who gave us information about lawyers, doctors and even where we could buy peanut butter.” Back to the US decided on a night: June 23, 2018.

His message is clear: “Yes you can, it is not necessary to be a millionaire to retire in Spain, you just have to decide and if it can be, choose the date conscientiously.” He said this because on June 23, for fiscal purposes, it was a bad time, as he explained in his blog, where he has also encouraged American retirees to consider this change of airs.
