Scenic Spanish village with cheap houses offers Brits £1,600 a year to move there

A SPANISH village with cheap house prices and breathtaking scenery is offering Brits £1,600 a year to move there.

Nestled in the mountains of north west Spain, officials in Rubia will supplement the income of expats with up to £128 each month.

The scheme is aimed at families with children to boost the number of students at local schools.

And one of the perks of moving to a smaller town is the far cheaper cost of living.

A seven-bed home set over three floors with a huge terrace, heaps of land and even a farm is up for grabs for just 95,000 euros.

With a population of just over 1,400, expats will be able to enjoy the quiet of village life and earn extra cash while they do so.

Located in the region of Galicia, the nearest major city is Ponferrada, roughly 22 miles away.

Elsewhere in Spain, another town with year-round sunshine is offering Brits £2,600 to move there – and even more if you have a baby.

Located in the mountainous region of northern Spain, the idyllic town of Ponga is offering the cash to anyone who wants to settle there permanently.

And there’s an extra bonus – couples will be given £2,600 for every baby they register in the town, according to Spanish media reports.

Ponga is also perfect if you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful life – with the nearest city roughly 35 miles way.

New residents will have the rolling hills of Asturias on their doorstep, as well as the stunning surfing beaches of the Costa Verde.

Home to the stunning Ponga Natural Park, locals can wander among beech forests on their doorstep.

The picturesque town is also close to incredible gorges such as Los Beyos.

Ideal for food lovers, Ponga is also known for its high-quality local products, including cheese, honey and cured meats.

In Switzerland, officials in the serene village of Albinen have also made an enticing offer to ramp up the population.

Under the new scheme, families of four could cash in on £22,440 per adult – with each child getting £8,975 for moving to the village.

And for those looking to move further afield, anyone who resettles in Quilpie, Queensland, has been offered £10,000.
