News: ​Four good reasons to be happy you live in Spain

There are many reasons to be happy if you're living in Spain and today we are going to give you only a few, but you can always come over to Orihuela Costa or Torrevieja and find out for yourself.

The weather

The harsh weather conditions which the winter months bring along in most North European countries, full of rainy days and early, dark nights are more than enough to make many people sad. But luckily, in much of Spain and particularly on the Costa Blanca, the sun keeps shining throughout the winter months, meaning you will get your daily dose of vitamin D and this is a big reason to keep you smiling.

The food

According to different researchers, there are specific nutrients that can contribute to making you happier and more relaxed. The Mediterranean diet happens to be made up of most of that food. Including fruit and vegetables as well as heart-healthy olive oil in your diet will surely make a difference.

Highest live expectancy

Spaniards have the highest life expectancy in Europe. This could be due to the Mediterranean diet rich in olive oil, fish and fresh vegetables, the excellent healthcare or the mild climate conditions, but living in Spain can help you pick up some healthy habits to improve your life. Spain is a great place to get back to nature and enjoy the outdoors in a great weather, so just go jogging, cycling or just take a stroll. Not to mention the wide variety of water sports available.

Culture and fiestas

Spain has some of the biggest and most deeply-rooted festivals in the world, from city-wide celebrations to the annual fiesta in each and every little town around the country. From the huge Holy Week celebrations to the Hogueras in Alicante, music festivals, medieval markets or the Moors and Christians festivities, whatever you are into, there will be a Spanish festival for you.
