    Looking at retirement from a broader perspective, does anyone have any experience renting a property abroad, for example Spain or Portugal, in the off-peak season and for a couple of months? Are properties readily available? Is it cost effective? Is it regularly done??

    Just toying with the idea, but no idea how realistice the idea actually is.....

    Thanks

    try https://www.britishexpats.com and ask your questions on the relevant country's board.

    I know in Spain rentals are normally readily available in the winter. Many people spend the winter months there.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton
