Love that you care about the animals like I do!

I love Mijas

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

We do too!

Just have to say I was planning on moving to Lisbon area in 2024. However, the ending of their NHR and the highly inflated housing costs there made me consider Andalusia as the weather is superb and no wealth tax in that region and Portugal will be same tax bracket as Spain . Your videos are both informative and delightful. . I’m obtaining my EU passport via Italian citizenship blood ancestry. You’re giving me options to my first choice: Cadiz. Keep doing a wonderful job. ❤

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

thank you so much! ❤️ way to go on the EU passport. I (Guillermo) missed the same opportunity by a generation 😞 You cant go wrong with Andalusia. Best of luck!

[@tadhgshelly488]

a very enjoyable , informative video, , For me Mijas Pueblo is a little paradise, well done.

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

Thank you! We loved it and will be back.

[@mikeandkathyaillon6749]

Another great video. Looking forward to your future videos!

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

Thanks so much! 🥰

[@NavinBagga]

That’s a comprehensive tour. Thanks for making this video. I am thinking of visiting Mijas as possibly a nomad working location. Could you get by with English language alone in Costa del Sol? I know, if staying longer it makes sense to learn Spanish. Kind Regards from London

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

Thanks for watching! You shouldn't have any problem. We pretty much spoke English the entire time even though we speak Spanish.

[@chapter3travels5]

Nice video. Definitely seems like a good place for a vacation/second home - it's so clean and the beaches are just beautiful! But, honestly, I would move anywhere that dog lives. He is adorable! Love the donkeys too!

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

thank you. Yes, Homey the dog is awesome 😊🐾

[@alexknapp6130]

Another enjoyable and information-packed video! I’m adding this city to my list of places to visit.

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

thank you Alex, you won't regret a visit to Mijas 😊

[@alexknapp6130]

@@SeekingParadiseBugs I’m looking forward to your video about taxes in Spain. I hope there is some good news!

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

we're hoping too! we made the appointment. but it will be a couple of months til we post the video. We'll keep Instagram updated tho 👍🏼

[@glauciod2444]

Thanks for the video! With the end of the NHR tax regime in Portugal, Spain and Italy start to look more attractive. Btw, Guillermo should be able to get his citizenship in Spain after 2-year residence. After processing time, you are probably looking at ~3 years in Spain and 6+ years in Portugal. I look forward to the video on taxes. Cheers!

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

Thanks for watching! It will be interesting to see if the end of NHR actually slows the migration of people and if the government sets up any other type of tax scheme in Portugal. We have considered the Spanish citizenship route but we are grandfathered in under NHR and are really loving Portugal right now.

[@sandymilne224]

Keep in mind that your domicile should be different for you and your pension. Money should be in a tax haven and income drawn at an amount that covers your Spanish/Portuguese expenses. Any excess should be left growing in that tax haven. You all should read the book, “Take the Money and Run” by Alex Doualis (SP?)

Great and informative video!

Thanks so much!

Great video!

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

thank you! 😊

[@sarahcronshaw3088]

Thank you for another great video. I’ll be visiting the donkey sanctuary next time we are there. We have a HH in Benahavis. Have you been to the village there it’s absolutely beautiful.

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

thank you! you'll enjoy those donkeys so much, the volunteers do a really good job. We have never heard of Benahavis, but now we are hoping to visit! it does look beautiful at first glance. 😊

Grreat video

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

Thank you! It's a great area!

[@leoz6338]

I think Fuengirola has a bit more to offer year round. I would be interested to see these places in winter when all the tourists are gone.

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

we agree! and we have scheduled a visit to Benalmádena in January and test the weather and enjoy a town without tourists 😊 thank you for watching!

[@leoz6338]

@SeekingParadiseBugs great info as always. I am from Miami so the Spanish is not a barrier.

[@stephs17]

I'm curious to get your take on Estepona.

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

Well stay tuned because we're planning a visit this year. 😊 We've heard so many great things about Estepona and want to experience it for ourselves. We'll definitely share in a video.

[@stephs17]

Awesome. I really love Malaga but I'm curious about Estepona. 😊 Can't wait to see your video. @@SeekingParadiseBugs

[@robklein1981]

Have you found your perfect 2nd home yet? I’m very curious about your impressions of Costa del Sol.

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

We haven´t finalized a decision about the Costa del Sol yet even though we love it a lot. The video we are currently working on is about the tax considerations in Spain and wow, there a lot of them to consider.

[@robklein1981]

@@SeekingParadiseBugs I’d love to hear more. We’re thinking of retiring to Spain as a US citizen on NLV. I’ve spoken with a Spanish tax consultant. Would love to hear more. Is there any way to contact you outside of KZbin?

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

@@robklein1981 We'd be happy to discuss more and compare notes. Our email is in the description box of our videos or you can message us through our Instagram account.

How much for a round of golf in Mijas?

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

oh wow, we actually don't play golf so we never looked into prices. Olivos is a good golf course and they have a website that may have the pricing. The courses are beautiful 😊

[@sandymilne224]

I’m assuming EU current passport holders can easily become residents of Mijas?

[@SeekingParadiseBugs]

Yes, it's in the EU so that shouldn't be a problem.
