Madrid rent is €1,600 a month. An immigration lawyer's 8 Spanish cities for expats, with one-bedroom rents from €400 to €1,100 and the honest catch in each. Free eligibility check + free consultation: https://yourspanishvisa.com/?ref=yt3 Giuliana, immigration lawyer and founder of Your Spanish Visa, compares rent, living costs, climate and the trade-off of each city: a beach city on the same coast as Valencia and Málaga for hundreds of euros less a month, the city where dinner with friends costs almost nothing because the tapas come free with every drink, a historic wine capital 54 minutes from Madrid by high-speed train, and an island capital with a 7% sales tax instead of 21%. At the end, one scorecard with all eight cities: screenshot it. Cities in this video: Alicante, Granada, Santander, Valladolid, Cádiz, A Coruña, Salamanca and Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
