Galicia's second city on a narrow peninsula in northwest Spain — Atlantic geography means cool Atlantic summers and mild rainy winters, unusual for Spain. The Marina-Riazor seafront and the Cidade Vella (old town) anchor the walkable core; Praia de Riazor is the urban surf beach. Same Spain DNV (€2,762/mo income, 1-year + 3-year extension); Schengen. Roughly 25-30% cheaper than Madrid on rent with deep Atlantic seafood and the cleanest air in mainland Spain.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
