Nach Spanien ziehen: what your euros buy in Spain
Germans have been Spain’s most loyal second-home buyers for fifty years, and EU citizenship makes it the simplest move on this site: no visa, no permit, just register and live. Budgets here are in euros.
Where movers like you actually buy
No visa needed, ever: as an EU citizen you can live, work and retire in Spain freely. After three months you register for residency (certificado de registro) and the padron at your town hall; that is the whole process.
Add roughly 10 to 13 percent on top for ITP transfer tax, notary, registry and a lawyer. No currency risk: same euro.
Dense year-round connections from Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Dusseldorf, Hamburg and Stuttgart into Malaga, Alicante and Palma, around 2.5 to 3 hours, with heavy seasonal capacity.
