I don't drink beer, don't smoke but I do know I picked a bottle or two of rose for Gill in the local supermarket for 1.5 euros and she said it was lovely

I am slightly surprised at the level of taxes you have to pay in Spain - along with bank charges and high utility bills but then we were spoilt in Turkey - but our sites fees and council tax actually work out cheaper than in Turkey - so the savings can off set the utility bills !

Yeah, it's swings and roundabouts regarding bills in comparison to Turkey I reckon.  You definitely need an accountant/tax guy to do your first years taxes, just so you get a grip of how its done.  A lot of Spaniards pay someone to do their annual return, so when in Madrid..

Where we are heading a 500ml (roughly a pint) of Estrella is €1.50 and a smaller beer (300ml) is 90 cents.  Glass of wine, probably about 175ml, is €1.20 and a sherry is €1 a pop - fino, oloroso etc.  Spirits kick off from €3 inc mixer and fags are €4 plus the odds.

Wine, spirits and beer are incredibly cheap in the supermarket - decent quality reds, whites and roses €2/3, better quality stuff €4 to €6 and some seriously nice bottles still well under a tenner.  Spirits are half to two thirds the price compared to the UK and a quarter of the price compared to Turkey!

Eating out is pretty cheap but the biggest difference from Turkey is quality of ingredients and variety of what's on offer.  We can have 3 or 4 tapas and couple of drinks each for well under €15 at our local bar - and the portion size for tapas are a lot bigger than what you'll get in a tourist area.

Good luck to all those off on a new adventure.  We started ours two years ago in North Cyprus and truly haven't looked back.  Twelve years in different parts of Turkey, all of which were wonderful. But unfortunately I couldn't remain in the country with the political situation as it is now.  We toyed with Spain and the Canary Isles but decided here was the best move for us as our private medical insurance with Güneş sigorta could continue.

I really hope we shan't lose the input on here of people who understand what is going on as although I couldn't stay I am still very interested in following the situation. 

Once again good luck with new adventures.

Love North Cyprus Bernie. Kyrenia is beautiful. I know Guardamar and Quesada well Ian as my ex mother-in-law has a villa 10mins drive from both. Used to go every year. Nice areas and Guardamar nice in the evenings with the market stalls. You should take a drive to Elche and Guadalest up in the hills, it's beautiful.
