Try http://www.123propertynews.com/ - you can pick up their magazine at Gibraltar airport (and presumably other places as well).

Gibraltar is expensive because of the tax regime - if you’ve got quite a bit of cash, domiciling yourself in Gibraltar can significantly cut you tax bill. One of the conditions to achieve this tax status is to buy or rent a property in Gibraltar which has the effect of driving up prices. Have you thought about living somewhere between Algerciras and Manilva and commuting? I haven’t done it myself, but I would think the quality of life in Spain would be much better with more open space, nicer beaches…

Hi

Well I am never going to leave Spain Like I say in all my posts I am never going to leave My roots are rooted!
I was told yesterday that I be one of the 7000 people to go In my work…

So as Spain IT Work has now nearly Dried up… My employer told me to Look at Gibraltar So There is couple of things lined up..

BUT!

If I Work In Gibraltar They pay health care there and not in Spain…

There is a lot of pros and cons Fine I will get money from my Employer when I leave In August But As much the nest egg is worth I do not want to live off of it and I certainly do not want to Sit at home like A veg!...

So I am not sure ...
