Where In The World Is Best For Expats?
Escaping the grey weather seems to be a major priority for those emigrating from the UK as sunny Spain tops the list of favourite British expat destinations. With some areas basking in as many as 300 sunny days a year, almost one in ten expats from the UK heads for Spain. Nearly seven in ten saw the weather as an advantage in leaving home, according to InterNations' Expat Insider Report.
