I decided to quite working (I'm 60) and start enjoying life a lot more than I have been the last 10 years. Valencia is calling me. From what I've read the cost of living is low (nice apartment $us 600, condo purchase $us 100,000) and food and utilities also reasonably cheap. Is this true?

I would also like to meet a woman - my age - for a long-term relationship. What are my chances of meeting someone once I'm there?

Lot's of other questions - but the above two are critical to my decision to get the ball rolling.

 

I appreciate the response; however, I haven't lived there for 10 years, I'm planning on moving there after 10 very hard years at work.

Two key decisions for me are: is it as cheap to live there as I read it is and 2) how likely is it that I'll meet someone when I'm there that wants a serious relationship.
