Social Services In Spain.
This is available to those who register at the Town Hall, and those who have the Community Residence Card. The services vary from council to council. To find out which services are available in the area you want to relocate, check with the Town Hall, or council.
Location.

Be Aware Of Tax and Inheritance Laws.
Laws are very different in Spain and the UK. You should get any advice you can find first.The British Consul will have a list of English speaking lawyers for the area where you want to relocate.
Health Care Provision.
Under the State Scheme of another country, you and a dependant can receive health care if you plan to relocate, and not work, in that other country. There are different “E” forms depending on your age.
If you are under the pensionable age, and can still get UK benefits, then you have to fill out the E106 form. This only lasts for a short while, and after that time is up you don’t get any more coverage.
If you are 60 or 65 or over, and receive the UK pension then you can fill out the E121 form.
For short holiday trips there is the E111 form which is only good for low cost, or free emergency care.
