...u could probably get by on €300 per week + what ever the private health insurance costs you ...€300 per week would put food on the table and pay your utility bills ...if you intend going out socializing / eating /drinking /running a car / maintaining your property then you will need a minimum of €400 per week eating / drinking out is marginally cheaper ... buying food in the Spanish supper markets is sertainly no cheaper than the UK... when and if you apply to become a resident you will need proof of income  especially if you are a early retiring... don't let what I am saying you put you off ..I dare say someone will say you can live like a king on €100 per week .. good luck with that .

Have a look at the (Epat in Mazarron) videos . These videos are far more informative than the 60 second clip that was shot five years back on place in the sun...the TV program have filmed on Camposol atleast 4 times over the years.
