"Spain tops global health league but all is not well for expats", The Olive Press, 19 | 03 | 2019 - Opinión (Michael Doherty, CEO of the Woodbrook Group)
A world health index has declared Spain to be the fittest nation on the planet.

Now another major rating agency, the Bloomberg Healthiest Country Index, has gone one better and placed it top of its rankings. ... The index gives Spain the highest life expectancy at birth among European Union nations... Its big plus appears to be its diet. ...

Brexit may curtail that ... although it seems likely that their rights will be preserved. ... Most Spanish pensioners are looked after by their own families. Unless you are fortunate enough to have family members close by, you may need to pay for care.
