Where are the most British expats in Spain? Which area, town?

Istvan

Costa Blanca and Costa Del Sol are the most populated expat areas, doubt that you could narrow it down more than that, For large towns, perhaps Torrevieja, Marbella.

For an official breakdown of individual town populations in Andalucia by nationality go to http://www.juntadeandalucia.es/insti...adistica/sima/
There are probably similar data sites for other regions.
Of course, the data depends on the number of foreigners who actually register, but it's as accurate as you're going to get.

Torrevieja has to be the most English feeling area in Spain

Think Benidorm could possibly figure quite highly on any list

There was an article in one of the expat papers last week which showed the number of foreign (not necessarily British) voters in local town hall elections.

Some of the small inland towns like Hondón de los Frailes had over 30% foreign voters! Torrevieja naturally has the highest number of foreign voters in the region - over 6,000 IIRC of which just under 60% were British.

Clearly, this only represents those bothering to vote...

I find it amusing that places like Estepona are generally quite free of brits, yet 10 miles down the road in Puerto De La Duequesa and its full of them!
The biggest britzone i saw was in Benalmadena Costa, where the big hotels are. (Jupiter etc)OK its a holiday area but its full of brits! Theres hardly any spanish there at all.
