Field notes
Andalusia's Atlantic-coast peninsula city — claimed-oldest in western Europe (3000+ years of continuous habitation). Same Spanish DNV (€2,650/mo, up to 3 years renewable). Schengen. La Viña and the Casco Antiguo are the dense walkable cores. The structural advantage over Seville is the Atlantic breeze — summers cap around 30°C rather than 40°C+. Roughly 20% cheaper than Seville. The Carnival (February) is the big municipal rhythm.
