We are considering a move to cabrera. We would rent for a year before making a final decision. It seems that the cost of living forums on the dr are all over the place. I am looking for cost of schooling for our 12 year old my 15yr old would do online. I would want to get descent insurance for all of us, basic cost of groceries (we would eat local, not worried about captain crunch). Maybe basic cell phone plans for 4 and internet cost. I am not to worried about entertainment cost. I am sure there are things I am missing and there are 500 questions I have, but this is a start. We would not be making the move to live like kings, just basic simple life and integrate into both the local and expat community. I am looking for a realistic budget to go by.
