🇪🇸 Could some wealthy residents who moved from Spain to Portugal now be looking back?

For years, Portugal’s NHR tax regime was a major draw for high earners, business owners and internationally mobile families.

Now, many of those ten-year benefits are beginning to expire.

At the same time, Portugal has tightened parts of its residency and citizenship framework, housing costs have risen sharply, and Spain’s Beckham Law is attracting renewed attention.

For qualifying applicants, the regime can offer a 24% rate on the relevant general taxable base up to €600,000 for up to six tax years.

And for those comparing Portugal with the Costa del Sol, the decision is not just about tax.

Benahavís offers privacy, space, international schools, healthcare, major transport links and one of southern Europe’s most established international communities — all within easy reach of Marbella and Málaga.

We look at what is changing, who may qualify, and why the wider Spain-versus-Portugal calculation may be shifting again.

🚦 Spain’s traffic lights are changing from 1 October 2026.

If you drive in Spain, you may have encountered one of the more confusing situations at pedestrian crossings: pedestrians are shown a green man while drivers approaching the same crossing see a flashing amber light.

That system is changing.

Under the new rules, a flashing amber signal for vehicles will no longer, as a general rule, be allowed to coincide with a steady green pedestrian signal at crossings specifically controlled by pedestrian traffic lights.

The aim is simple: clearer instructions and safer crossings, particularly for children, older people and anyone unfamiliar with Spain’s road system.

For residents, second-home owners and visitors driving around Benahavís and the Costa del Sol, it is a small change worth knowing about before October.

We explain what is changing, what flashing amber actually means in Spain, and what drivers and pedestrians should expect.

A confusing feature of some Spanish pedestrian crossings is disappearing. Here’s what drivers and pedestrians need to know before the new rules take effect on 1 October 2026.
