Resumo: This paper investigates the international retirement migration from elderly Europeans into Spain and its influence on expansion of urban sprawl there. Key themes analyzed in this paper include the urban sprawl expansion during the Spanish housing bubble, the size and distribution of the elderly Europeans residents in Spain, and the link between lifestyle migrants and urban sprawl development. This paper considers the reasons for elderly Europeans moving into Spain, which are chiefly related with the weather and lifestyle. It also explores the benefits and drawbacks of these en masse lifestyle migration and the environmental and landscape impacts on Mediterranean Spain.
