Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon.
It very much depends on which part of Spain you were thinking of. Inland is a little cheaper than the coast, you also have expensive areas such as Marbella, Puerto Banos, Barçelona... All vary. Also what sort of accomodation were you looking at, apartments, villas, town houses, with gardens swimming pools....

The cost of living in Spain as a whole used to be much cheaper than the UK, but nowadays it isnt, theres little difference in it

As steve says, have a look through the forum and see what you turn up. There are references to estate agents which may give you some clues as to prices and areas.
