Many bloggers tell you that Spain or Italy are good places to retire.

But what they forgot to tell you is that there are enormous tax and cost differences inside these countries.

In some provinces in Spain or Italy, you pay certain taxes, while in others, those same taxes are ZERO.

I have spent months researching the best European countries and cities for retirees, considering everything from:

  • taxes,
  • cost of living,
  • healthcare quality,
  • and the ease of obtaining a visa.

You won’t believe how affordable it is to retire in some of these countries while keeping a high quality of life.
