I have given up looking for a house here as there none on the market. So am thinking of buying in the Alicante area and have started looking for a finca type house with garden and if possible a pool. Anyone done this? Is it the right time or should I wait a little longer in view of the economic situation?
The idea would be to rent it out before retiring to Spain in a few years time.There is no point leaving cash languishing in a bank account and I cant imagine retiring here in Switzerland. Plus my partnerin is fluent in Spanish

. Any tax issues I should know about.
Any ideas?
