Which part of Spain has fewest Brits?
My guess is it would be somewhere like La Rioja or Soria. Places in the deep interior with little tradition of tourism. There again, I would have said Galicia a few years ago, but it now seems that (on this board at least) the odd bod has settled there.

Most have partners who are spanish. But from Asturias to the French boarder hardly any Brits and those that are tend to have Spanish partners as you say |

I think the whole North coast is free of Brits. Galicia became popular as property inland is cheaper there so many when to renovate farmhouses like they did in France.

Extremadura (although seen Brit estate agents advertising there). La Mancha? not heard of many there.

If you mean the smallest proportion of brits (do you wish to exclude all other nationalities? or is it just something about brits) then I'd guess the big cities, as there's not much to attract ex-pats to places like that. |

Well, they do have fewest of everybody, so I suppose that's right - but probably not what you were intending. ;)

Not sure about that. Plenty of Brits have asked about buying apartments in Barcelona, although maybe they got scared off by the crazy prices. I remember there was a sizeable number of Brits in Madrid, some were working for IT companies (Sun, IBM), some worked for head offices of international companies, others were teachers of English. Some even set up businesses (generally Irish pubs or other catering outlets though).

Obscure provincial cities maybe - plus Melilla and Ceuta (who'd wanna live there?).

Re: Which part of Spain has fewest Brits?
Not one for straying off topic but.......anyone see the programme on tele5 last night (can´t remember the name of it) where they were calling estate agents and were being offered 40+% discount on houses?
Funny saying about Madrid having English here, I´m sure there are lots here but in the 14 months I´ve been here I´ve only come accross one other English person and that was last week. |

There used to be an ex-pat magazine in Madrid Don't know if it's still around but there were lots of British clubs and societies advertised.

I think the part of Spain that has the fewest Brits could be where ever you are if you dont venture out or mix with them (them - not trying to make Brits sound like a species). I´ve only just realised that I never leave the Goya area of Madrid. All I see is wealthy Spanish and generaly elderly ones at that, it´s still fur coat time here and I think they´re all competing again lol. |
