Keddies right, people come here cos they think of "old Spain" and as it was all those years ago when it was simple and easy to come over, have a quiet life and do a bit of work here and there to make ends meet when necessary. Spain is not like that anymore, its trying to be like everywhere else in Europe, but sadly its still recovering to a degree from its years under Franco and its tough now! Its a wonderful place but if I were to offer advise to those who want to move here thinking it will be easy, I would say before you do, try to set up a business in somewhere like Cornwall first, that would be cheaper and easier cos you know the language, the rules and regs and a you'll have a safety net if it all fails

Depends what medical condition you suffer from. Under the new Valencian Health shake up where we now have to have private cover from the Health authority, you will pay anything from 4% to 90% of the cost of medicine. For example, if you suffer from what is termed a "chronic" condition (you have to take medication for that condition for the rest of your life), you will only pay about 4% of the medication cost. On the other hand, if your doctor prescribes medication for a condition that is temporary you could pay up to 90% of the cost.
I suffer from asthma and have to use an inhaler everyday and they last for 1 month. The cost of each inhaler is €60 but as asthma is classed as chronic condition I only pay €2.50 per inhaler.
