I totally agree with your comments. In fact I am ashamed to be British and find myself quite embarrassed to admit that I am British. I spend as much time over here in my apartment in Torremolinos as the absurd brexit rule allows me to do so. I did apply for residence hereprior to brexit but used ...

...an existing lawyer in another part of the country where I was going to buy originally and Torremilinos turned me down as they felt I hadn’t spent enough time here. The comments regarding the U.K. government are quite correct. I certainly believe that the U.K. are living a lie , this pathetic notion that it is the best country in the world is a total falsehood and the days are over for the U.K.infact the U.K. is shortly to become the worst economy performer bar Russia . Well what should any country that takes itself out of the European Union expect. Yes I am very angry, very embarrassed and very ashamed. I will shortly be applying for residence again and now have a lawyer in Torremolinos. 

"the U.K. is shortly to become the worst economy performer bar Russia"

Yes a saw the OECD forecast low growth but also consider Russia is poor country with  GDP per Capita 10,126.72 USD. UK - 40,284.64 USD  Spain - 27,057.16 USD. Europe is also heading for tricky times ahead and Germany has pledged to stop using Russian gas later in the year which will cause a few problems. 

Inflation is the enemy right now and UK is suffering for a labour shortage having left the EU which is helping cause a wage spiral, however, in Andalucía under 25 unemployment a whopping 36% https://countryeconomy.com/labour-force-survey/spain-autonomous-communities/andalusia

I agree with everything you have said as well. I am also very ashamed about what our country is turning into. I've taken early retirement and from December last year I have been a resident in Torremolinos. Its a completely different way of life enriched by kind, respectful and welcoming locals. I...

...ts far removed from living in UK. I could do without some of the Brits who insist on  showing as much skin as possible in the most inappropriate places such as restaurants and in the town centre (lol) but it's a small price to pay for such  a better quality of life. The Tories are ruining the UK month by month and those that still support them must share their lack of morals. 

 "a better quality of life"

I'm glad you have found that, enjoy, I've had a home here for over 20 years, so I think perhaps a more balanced view, I first lived here for 6 years, the first 3 - 4 years were amazing, then moved back UK due to business and education for children. I then moved back here permanently end of transition period, due to the lack of flexibility and the crazy 90 day rule. (Brexit was a real pain) I would rather things be as they were and just lived here November to May, there are plus and minus points about both countries. (Also UK is like a tax haven compared to Spain) When I first lived here 20 years ago, like many Brits I spent much time in the the sunshine and got 'basal cell skin cancer' which is fine now, but I keep out of the sun most of the time, which is far more dangerous in the summer. 'Be warned' Brits skin not designed for this climate'. -  Enjoy your retirement take care in the sun.
