Grand Ammjays Fairview Inn

As one of Spain's largest tourist destinations it's no real wonder that a large number of people want to come and live in Granada. So how does one actually go about doing it? And how do you give your life up to live there forever? Read on and all shall be revealed.

Finances

Head to Granada from anywhere in the UK, Australia, America or other countries and you'll probably be surprised just how much cheaper it is to live here. The fact remains that renting property here is a lot cheaper than most other parts of Spain and probably all parts of your own country. If you want to share somewhere with other people this price can reduce further still. If you want to live in Granada though remember to have enough money behind you so that you can relax.

Shelter

Snagging a place to stay in Granada couldn't be easier. As there are a tonne of notices and advertisements throughout the city you can just take down a load of numbers and begin calling right away. If you don't like that approach you can jump online and begin looking at the listings and choosing something that suits.

Food

Tapas are perhaps Granada's most famous mark and something that makes this city one of the greatest places in Spain to eat out on very little money. Due to the sheer number of tapas bars, eating out in Granada is usually done on the single price of a drink. If you live in Granada for a while you'll soon discover the best places to go.

Going Out

Granada is a great place to make new friends both of the local and international kind. Make sure you jump on sites like CouchSurfing.org and Granajoven.org, which list a wide range of events happening in and around the city. It's also good to get out in the bars during popular events like Flamenco and football.

Learning Another Language

As it is with all new things, learning Spanish can take a fair bit of time. Play you cards right and choose where you live in Granada wisely and you shouldn't have too many problems with the language. Most people here have a good level of English so you can always fall back on other people knowing more than you. Live with locals and you'll learn even faster.
