Recently there was an article on money.cnn.com on best places to retire (see http://money.cnn.com/best/bpretire/) which listed for example Ann Arbor, Michigan; St. George, Utah; or La Paz, Mexico as great places to retire.

To you who follow the press in Spain: have you run across this kind of an article recently on "best places in Spain"? What was the gist, any links, do you remember what cities were listed, which Spanish mag might cover this kind of topic (so that I can keep an eye out)?

Thanks,

Hello,traveldog3,

We share an interest. I too am looking for a quiet village with good bus lines available and near a train station, preferably in Northern Spain. I believe I have found it in Aviles, Asturias. I have a few cousins that live there and after looking at the housing market in other areas, I've found that Aviles is the town for me.
I searched "google" for housing prices in several towns, and found that Asturias is a very resonable area to either lease, buy or build a small 2 bdr/2bath cottage or piso.

My questions now center around the type of visa I will need to live there without being hassled. Let me know what you find. Good luck on your search!
Carmen
