New research by Moving to Spain has identified Cartagena as the most affordable city for British expats to rent a house. The port city, located in the Murcia region near beaches, offers average monthly rents of €525 (£450) for a one-bedroom apartment.
While job opportunities are limited, Cartagena is ideal for digital nomads and retirees. The city boasts Roman ruins and easy access to Playa de Calblanque, rated the best local beach by visitors who praise its soft sand and crystal-clear waters.
Getafe, just outside Madrid, was ranked second, appealing to expats wanting proximity to the capital. British nationals can stay in Spain for 90 days out of 180 without a visa, but those working remotely should check their employer's policies.
