Looking for British Expats in Granada?

Thinking about moving to Granada as a Briton? These pros and cons come from the InterNations Expat Insider survey, in which thousands of expats around the world share what they like and don't like about life abroad each year. Country-level percentages aren't broken out for Granada, so the points below reflect what British expats there wrote in their own words.

• The weather and outdoor life are the big draw. Sunshine and an outdoor, eat-outside lifestyle top the answers — Britons say the climate makes it all possible.

• The pace is relaxed. A gentle, unhurried rhythm and a good work-life balance come up again and again.

• It's affordable, with great food. Cheaper living and wonderful, well-priced food are recurring favourites.

• Nature is on the doorstep. With the Sierra Nevada close, Britons can ski and enjoy the mountains alongside the warm plains.

• Making local friends is hard. Britons describe difficulty getting close to locals, with a mostly transient expat community around them.

• Bureaucracy and corruption frustrate. Red tape and political corruption come up as everyday obstacles.

• The heat is intensifying. Some feel the climate is becoming too hot and dry as the years go on.

• Distance from family weighs. Being far from family, and worries about falling ill so far from home, are a recurring theme.

For Britons, Granada offers sunshine, an outdoor life, affordability, great food, and mountains on the doorstep. The trade-offs are the bureaucracy, the difficulty of getting close to locals, and the distance from home. It suits those who value climate and calm over a busy social life.

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our British members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.
