But wait, I know what all those KZbin vloggers are going to do next: they will look for another “Hidden Gem” to escape (leaving behind damage). Do you know how many young Spanish people have been forced to leave their hometown Valencia and move abroad during the last years? Because they could not afford to pay rent in Valencia with their salaries anymore. But I know, many of them! So, it seems like all these young Valencians don’t deserve to enjoy their life in their home city? Have you ever thought, why the state of our planet and nature is so horrible?

Housing has no insulation, mold problems in winter, expensive electricity, etc. But, I find Portuguese cuisine more delicious than Spanish :)

My wife & I are planning to retire to Portugal within the year (not Lisbon or Porto, but one of the smaller cities). We are both USA citizens; she is also a dual citizen of Peru. We love both Spain & Portugal and were first looking to retire in Spain since wife already speaks fluent Spanish. However, we wish to obtain EU citizens without relinquishing our USA citizenship. Portugal allows dual citizenship with USA, and Spain does not. And it takes 10 years as a resident of Spain to become eligible for citizenship versus 5 years in Portugal. And there's the NHR tax benefit in Portugal. So Portugal it is for us. Thanks for the video!

I feel like Spain is great for lower-middle class folks going for non-lucrative or digital nomad visas but not someone with more assets. I'm not ready by any stretch of imagination, and I can't be spending 10s of thousands of dollars every year just in that tax alone!

Valencia for me was very crowded with very intense urbanization. Low quality of living in the downtown areas due to noise, bars, traffic and crowds of people. It is nice for a touristic visit but not for long term life. Access to the beach in fact is not so good as there is a big commercial harbor right in the middle of the city's shore. Prices are also quite high now comparing to what the city can offer. Most of the apartments would not have any type of terrace and with interior patios bedrooms. There is small neighborhood by the beach with quite nice area but obviously very reduced supply of housing.

@@chantik taxes are fine, but in many regions of Spain (including Valencia) you are taxed on your world-wide wealth (up to 2% annually or more!). This can make the cost of living higher in Spain, than in the USA if you have some money. This just doesn’t make sense. Fortunately, Andalusia doesn’t have the wealth tax. Giving away 2% annually throughout retirement can be the difference between leaving a legacy for your children, and leaving nothing.

Portugal has too much hype for Lisbon area. According to SEF there are around 9,400 Americans, with 60% retired. Lisbon has the higher concentration of about 2,000 but many Americans live in the smaller towns [ cheaper cost living ] . The advantage of Portugal for retired Americans is a 10% tax [ nhr tax ] [ 20% others ] . Spain has an aggressive / complicated tax system & sales tax. There is the main govt + the different regions with their own tax system. You have to work out the numbers. Portugal language is different from Spain. In Portugal they will understand Spanish & English in the big cities. in smaller towns - Portuguese & Spanish.

Valencia is the best city in the world, in the galaxy, or even in the universe... Things like, a garbage collector in Spain gets €1900, with everything free. Gasoline is much cheaper in Spain than in the United States. Spain is richer than America, when news came out today that Spain is the country in Europe with the highest increase in extreme poverty with 21% against 11% in the US. Health is free for everyone, but people are taxed almost to death, only free for those who don't work. Valencia is not underrated, is just not as good as she wants to make it out to be, it's completely ridiculous to compare Valencia to any major city in the US. Today it was the turn to say that it is better than Lisbon, as it was the turn of London, Barcelona and many others. And in the end, he lives in Valencia with a company that has an address at 728 S. Hill Street, Los Angeles, which charges in American dollars. Makes you think... I don't mean to say that Valencia is bad, or that I have anything against it.

Quedaros en Lisboa, Si al turismo no a la residencia egocéntrica y cerrada. Lisboa, se ha encarecido la vivienda, y la forma de vida de los lugareños por los expatriados anglosajones. Aqui, apenas aportan nada a Valencia, ya que traen su teletrabajo y sus empresas no cotizan aquí y empobrecen a los residentes, consumen productos en su mayoria que se autoimportan de su propio pais, viven encerrados en su cultura, apenas, participan en la vida social con los residentes. Impregnan la cultura individualista anglosajona a la vibrante cultura social Mediterranea, una sociedad monolingüe como la anglosajona es más estrecha de miras. Todo esto empobrece con el tiempo el lugar donde se instalan estos expatriados, al no integrarse al medio, y tambien encarecen el nivel de vida y desplazan a los nativos de su lugar de origen. Está emigración a diferencia de la iberoamericana con culturas muy próximas, que su ajuste al entorno español es muchísimo mas factible, y casi total, en la primera generación de nacidos en territorio, cosa que no ocurre con otras culturas tan individualistas, como las anglosajonas, además los inmigrantes hispanoamericanos aportan más, al erario público seguridad social trabajando en empresas españolas enriqueciendo a todos y a la ciudad. El EXCESIVO INDIVIDUALISMO de la cultura Estadounidense, tan inflado, es un caramelo envenenado en un envoltorio míticamente expuesto en la sociedad occidental por la propaganda hueca y falsa cinematográfica , y que no guarda dentro nada positivo corrompe el entorno, donde se asienta, y como la langosta con el tiempo cuando ya "han arrasado" la ciudad empeorandola emigran a otra ciudad, que tenga luz y humanidad, para infectarla de nuevo con el virus individualista y sectarios que traen. Hay que proteger las ciudades de nuestro entorno manteniéndola como lo que son y han sido, progresando ¡¡Si!! pero sin destruirla, como empiezan hacerlo, al igual que se protege un medio natural, se tiene que proteger la forma de vida de un entorno social y cultural tan rico como el Español y mediterraneo Si quieres, venir a vivir aquí, intégrate totalmente en la sociedad en que vives, somos y hemos sido un pueblo abiertos a otra culturas durante milenios,mucho antes de que existiera vuestra cultura, y nos hemos fundido poco a poco socialmente y económicamente con multitud de culturas que llegaron aquí muchos siglos y milenios antes, y ahora somos lo que somos, por ello. Sin embargo las culturas cerradas egoístas que solo quieren recibir al final terminaron expulsadas, la historia lo demuestra y hay están las cicatrices en nuestra historia. De visita, bienvenidos y disfrutar, de residencia, bien pero hay que abrirse a la sociedad que te acoge, a todas las formas de vida de nuestra sociedad y nosotros nos abrimos a vosotros, integrando mejorando y enriqueciéndonos TODOS, si progreso significa destrucción... No gracias, el mundo es grande para los expatriados, No a los "egogettos" o aportas, o te largas. Hemos hecho estas ciudades y este país sin vosotros, realmente no os necesitamos. Iros a otros "paraísos" y comparar, y pensar. La mano está tendida, no morderla. Un saludo MUY SINCERO.

Can you imagine all those immigrants realizing they are making a terrible mistake in marching North? 😮

I celebrated my birthday (May 21) in Valencia , with my wife . Beautiful city, fantastic historic center, wonderful food (although we didn't like the "Valencian paella" but each of us has our own taste) As a birthday present we went to watch the football match
