I am looking for some advice on places to live in Spain.

It has always been a massive wish of mine to live in spain, and the job I now have means that I can basically live anywhere in the world where I can have a phoneline and broadband- so I am seriously considering the move.

I am looking for somewhere that is in-expensive in terms of rent, but with easy access to a Major City/Town. I am wanting somewhere less than 500euros a month if thats possible???

As I will be moving on my own I want somewhere that it is going to be easy to meet new friends - English and Spanish.

Also any advice on additional costs of living in Spain, such as there version of Council tax, and utility bill prices.

I am currently Self employed, so does anyone know whether I would continue to pay my tax to UK Gov or would I change to Spanish Tax???

Any advice would be fantastic!!!
