MEMIS

The text in the book reads:

Spain, Europe's Retirement Haven

A new kind of colonization: that of over a million foreigners, the vast majority elderly, who have settled along the warm coasts of Spain over the past twenty years.

Is it a self-fulfilling prophecy?

The Making Ends Meet in Spain (MEMIS) research project aims to understand the migration patterns of British retirees living in Spain.

In "defence of Brits in Spain", the often-romanticised notion of the "Golden Years" as a fulfilling life project is challenged by the reality that, for many, it is more about making ends meet with limited resources. This study goes beyond previous research by exploring how British retirees age in Spain, their access to healthcare, and the impact of state pension transferability within Europe.
