Why Retire to Fuengirola?
The Canary Islands sit off the northwest coast of Africa but are fully part of Spain—offering a subtropical climate that’s ideal for retirees escaping northern winters. Tenerife and Gran Canaria have the largest healthcare networks and expat communities, while Lanzarote and Fuerteventura appeal to those wanting a quieter, more scenic lifestyle. The cost of living is lower than mainland Spain, and many areas are well adapted to international residents. Whether you prefer beachside bungalows or hillside villages, the Canaries deliver great weather, low taxes, and a laid-back rhythm all year round.
