    I have a friend that moved to Valencia and likes it there. They moved about a year ago and finding temporary place to stay was extremely stressful and challenging. They literally said book your AirBnB a year out.. Getting long term was also difficult but they had some friends there to help...

    Interesting. We notice the cost has gone up so much in just this past year. Do you own any property in Argentina? I was told cost for housing in Spain (rental) is very high and cost of living is the same if not more. Am I wrong?

    The convenience we do miss. Having some green outside space is something an apartment can provide and previously we lived in an apartment for 4 years and honestly we grew out of it and wanted a change. Miserable in the summer?

    Yep good tea and coffee is pretty expensive here. My gf going through brands to try but it is costly and she can't justify paying 3-4x for Juan Valdez.

    Congratulations. What do you mean extra-Mercosur? Are you holding a passport or residency NOT from a Mercosur country? or since you married (in Argentina) someone from Mercosur country this made you eligible?

    What about going to Paraguay if I go there for the day? I have never been but was told a cheap flight within Argentina but close to teh border and go over by bus.
