Alicante has an awfully high unemployment rate and is widely known as a run down area -you just have to look at some of the properties you linked-, except for a few towns in the Costa Blanca.

Alicante is in no way representative of Spain. It should be very close to the bottom of the list, if not at the very bottom.

> I have a high german salary and chose to live here in Spain because quality of life is much higher than in central Europe, including Baden-Württemberg, Czechia, Poland, etc.

Guess what, most people working in Spain don't have "high German salaries".

Also, the average engineer in Alicante makes way less than 40k. Actually, there's a ~20% chance that they don't have a job in the first place. The average senior engineer makes about 45k in the most expensive areas of the country, before paying ~20-25% of it in taxes.

Keep in mind that 43% of Spaniards save less than €100 a month, with 23% of the population not saving any money at all. https://www.europapress.es/economia/finanzas-00340/noticia-4...

All lies and false information, you sound like the typical unidas podemos or PSOE supporter.

I've been many times to Alicante and could work there in an office for 400€/day if I wanted, stop spreading lies.

This is one of the craziest things I've ever read.

How can you say that Alicante is run down? What are you smoking? Putin has a mansion in a nearby neighbourhood worth millions and goes there regularly, huge companies have large facilities in Alicante along with the best comsetic surgery clinics in the world. A very rich and developed area in Europe full of northerners, please don't talk about things you don't know or understand. It's incredible how spoiled some people can be in Europe, you have no idea buddy.
