Residents say that Spain has very good hospitals.Services may vary from place to place, so if you can not get your needs met at one place, you may have to travel.
Social Service Provision.
If you have the Community Residence Card, you have to apply for this at the Town Hall.From council to council, the services will vary. To find out which services are available in the area you want to relocate, check with the Town Hall, or council.
Location.
One thing that people do not think about when choosing a place to relocate is public transportation services. Anything could happen and you want to be prepared, someday you may not be able to drive. If you have only been to Spain a couple of times, renting a property may be best to try out the area before you make a final decision.If you are looking for good, honest, financial and property advice in Spain then have a look at IMS Mortgages based in Marbella.

Tax and Inheritance Law.
Laws are very different in Spain and the UK. You should get any advice you can find first. The British Consul will provide you with a list of attorneys in your area that speak English.
Health Care.
You and another dependant can get health care under the State Scheme of the other country, if you plan to relocate there but not work.Depending on your age, there are different “E” forms.
If you are under the pensionable age, and can still get UK benefits, then you have to fill out the E106 form. The time depends on if you can even get the UK benefits.
If you are 60 or 65 or over, and receive the UK pension then you can fill out the E121 form.
The E111 form is only good for short vacations on holidays in other countries that provides cheap, or free emergency treatment.
