Short answer. & others will advise. Sax.....good. Olives & almonds aplenty. Rich through that as an income ( not knowing your expectations & hard work to put into that endeavor). After 20 yrs here for only 10,000 sq m of almonds. It would feed me a month. (Minus cultivation etc, enough for pos 6 days). But I am not a farmer!. They have many hectares more. I don't see many rich ones, many working ones!. Sax...... Is not a fruit area. V

To live in Spain you will need apply for residency and a part of that will be to demonstrate a regular monthly income of around €700 going back at least 3 months, that's an awful lot of fruit and/or nuts!

That's not what you said but having savings does not necessarily negate the need to demonstrate income.

"income to pay bills etc , would this be enough to keep myself throughout the year"

Hi Movingon 

Are you saying i wouldn't get residency in spain because off no income?

As I am from Ireland would i need it as I'm from EU country ?
