Soon to be Expat living in the north west f Spain

Hi Liam... What you will find as regards "touristy" in this area is that is really only in summer, and the vast majority of the tourists are Spanish. Most foreign tourists head south to the beaches of the Med. The rest of the year there are very few tourists anywhere, except perhaps on the Camino around Santiago.

The window for boating is quite small as i am sure you are aware the Bay of Biscay is brutal except for a few months.

Have you checked out Oviedo in Asturias? I am an expat considering buying there. Prices reasonable, not too far from the coast and mountains. It's a small city that does not seem to be a magnet for tourists.   

real?

You will require a license to fish in the sea, whether from a boat or the shore.

It may also be necessary to register your boat.

Cee is not very crowded during the off-season, whereas Ferrol is an industrial city, especially with the news that MG cars may soon open a factory there.

The decision of where to live is very personal, and I will not try to sway your choice.

You are responding to a 1 YEAR old post!

You're absolutely right! 😄

I only joined Expat.com a couple of days ago and didn't notice the original post was already a year old.

Thanks for pointing it out!
