I was born in Mexico and moved to the US when I was 3. I’m planning on moving back to Mexico soon to a small Pueblo in Jalisco where my family is from and the expat community is essentially 0% and would like to find a potential secondary home somewhere coastal. I’ve been all over Mexico but would like more input from others who either have Knowledge or experience in this specific matter and know of coastal cities with relatively small or smaller expat communities. . I know areas around Lago de Chapala, Puerto Vallarta, etc have large swaths of foreign expat/immigrant populations and it’s just not necessarily something I willingly want to relocate to. If I wanted to live around retirees from the US I’d move to Palm Springs or Florida—I want to move back to Mexico to be around Others Mexicans is all.

Hi all. Will be visiting Next month and staying in the eastern part of the neighborhood a few blocks east of Casa Batlló near Girona metro station Since the neighborhood seems quite large and I’m from nyc where neighborhoods vary drastically block to block, how is this specific part of the neighborhood relative to the rest of it if at all?

I know Malaga, Nerja and Almuñécar are moderately easily accessible from Granada so trying to decide which is best and makes most sense. Partner and I are into dining, shopping, checking out bars, and overall general interesting sightseeing. Since these are coastal we’d also want to prioritize a city that has a great swimmable beach in early June. We’re both fluent in Spanish so in case any one city is less “accommodating” to foreigners who don’t speak the language that shouldn’t really be an issue. Any other input/ general thoughts about any city is appreciated!
