A calm living environment, the sun almost all year round and a pretty sum to take: here is the offer of this charming village which is looking for new inhabitants. Maybe you?
It is a village surrounded by mountains and forests with pure air and limpid water rivers. A place far from the big cities and almost out of time. What if you were told that you could be paid to live in this idyllic setting? It is however very real: there is a municipality, faced with a decrease in population, which now offers money to attract new inhabitants and stimulate the local economy. These are also substantial sums which can amount to several thousand euros paid to couples, families with children or even to single people provided that they are ready to settle there permanently.
On the program: an exceptional quality of life, postcard landscapes, sweet weather and real cultural wealth, marked by old traditions. In this classified village reserve of the UNESCO Biosphere, the days are going to stroll on hiking trails, share convivial meals based on handicraft cheeses and regional cold meats or even brown the pill, since the place benefits from 2000 hours of sunshine per year. Just that!
To obtain this living environment, you must however be ready to make a rather substantial change, since this place is not in France, but in the north of Spain. It is a village of 600 inhabitants in the heart of the mountains of the Asturias, called Ponga. It offers up to 2000 euros for single people, 3,000 euros to families and even an additional 3,500 euros for each child born on site.
If the idea of living isolated in a small village makes you hesitate, however, know that Gijon, the largest city in Asturias, is located not far from there, about 1h30 drive. A perfect configuration for those who are seduced by silence, but who appreciate urban animation in small doses! The only condition to benefit from this offer in Ponga: commit to living there for at least five years. So, are you ready to swap urban stress against the sun, nature and a significant little help to start well?
