I am seriously considering selling my house and relocating to Spain. At my age, owning a home will become problematic due to my increasing age and the home's age. My house is small, but beautifully located on 25 acres of mature woodlands with mountain views and on top of a ridge here in Western Maine. My mortgage is down to 5 digits, but it has been assessed to be worth in the low to mid 6 digits. My motivation is that I have spent parts of the past 10 years travelling to Northern Spain to hike and backpack with each trip of about a month in length. However on each of the seven past trips I was basically walking from place to place every day, but rarely spending more than a day or two in each town or village.
I will be returning to Spain in September to continue my rambling by finishing my walk of the 820 kilometer Camino de Santiago Northern Route which was interrupted by Covid, injury, and a social commitment. This will be the fourth time on the Del Norte with only 400 kilometers (250 miles) remaining.
I also have recently paid for two months (February and March 2024) on an apartment in Alicante which is located on the Costa la Sol on the Mediterranean coast in order to try and experience a longer stay in one location.
One of my goals is to enroll in a Spanish language immersion course for English speaking expats.
Hopefully. by next Spring I will have decided my course of action.
