Spain

Once one of the world’s largest conquerors and empires, Spain has left a lasting mark across geographies from South America to the East Indies. After Chinese, Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world when measured by native speakers, and the strength of its Spanish-speaking movies, TV and music helped push the country to the top.

“From the Spanish language to religion, cuisine, festivals and many other aspects, wherever I travel it is always pretty easy to find a bit of my country,” said Inma Gregorio, who is from the Galicia region and blogs at A World To Travel.

Spain’s tapas culture is one that has spread internationally, but continues to connect people locally. “Food here is a way of living,” said Andre Arriaza, who lives in Barcelona and is the founder of Barcelona Eat Local Culinary Experiences. “Eating is sharing, either with a bunch of friends, or with all the strangers that are around you, whom always engage in chit-chat,” he said.

This kind of socialising is key in a country that always puts family and friends before work, with long lunches (including the sobremesa) and family gatherings the norm. “We work to live, not otherwise,” Gregorio said. “Even during last year’s [constitutional] crisis, bars were full day in and day out.”

It’s a welcome change to expats like Cory Varga, a UK citizen who has lived in Seville for the past six months and blogs at You Could Travel. “We love living in Spain because everyone seems really relaxed. The attitude towards life is that it should be savoured and enjoyed.”

This isn’t easy for all expats, who must adjust to more easy-going schedules and late dinner starts. Knowing Spanish also makes life a bit easier for expats, but it’s not a huge barrier; most cities have lots of Spanish language schools and residents will usually try and help. “Spanish people are friendly,” said Bernard Sury, originally from Brussels and currently lives in Valencia, and is the co-founder GuruWalk. “Even if they don't understand you, they'll try to help you anyway.

Spain has the most efficient healthcare system in Europe and the 3rd best in the world.

Bloomberg's annual report has shown that the Spanish healthcare system is the most efficient in Europe. Moreover, the Spanish healthcare system ranks third in the world ranking behind Hong Kong and Singapore and followed by Italy.

The UK has pulled off a surprise as it has fallen out of the top ten in Europe in the healthcare rankings, based on 2015 data. The results may be due to the Brexit vote held in 2016, with the costs and efficiency of the National Health Service a key issue for British voters.
