Description
Historic 1-bedroom apartment in iconic Gran Hotel Mondariz with gardens, pool, parking, and thermal surroundings.
Location
Open in Google MapsLiving in Pontevedra
A beautifully preserved Galician city that famously pedestrianized its entire old town, making it one of Spain's most walkable places. Cost of living is very low, the seafood is world-class, and it rains more than southern Spain — think mild, green, and Atlantic rather than Mediterranean.
Morning coffee in sun-drenched plazas, afternoon siestas, and late-night tapas with neighbors who become family while the rest of Europe shivers through winter.

Next steps for moving to Spain
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
