SummerUK: That scares me too. Thats why I'm thinking of just renting my house out and then going for a wander
My advice...rent your house out,and rent here.That way you havnt given up the chance to return if you dont like it,plus you might want to try differant areas.Rental isnt expensive here,as its a Spanish tradition. May came here trying to live of a small pension,but as is normal,prices go up,and thier UK pension didnt. Others came here thinking they could work,and everyone was suddenly a builder! Come the crisis,no building work. It is however a great place to live,but like anywhere,you have to have some sort of income.

Yes there have been documantaries about it here.
I'm not sure about Spain for those very reasons. I've thought about Eastern Europe and even India, Africa... Lord knows... hahahaha!!!
Still very much in just the thinking stage though.. It could all change next week

time4fun4u: Yes,sadly its the individualas who come here without thinking about how to live! Sun is fine,but you still have to eat and pay your way like anywhere.
