I'm on the verge of moving to Spain, buying land, and starting a business. This past summer, I spent 5 weeks in a village I "found" three years ago. This time convinced me to move there. Within 5 weeks, I made friends, found a place to live, and wasn't looking to drive elsewhere to find things to do on the weekend. The town and I both passed the test. 

I'm back home tying up loose ends and intend to move over in a few weeks. I have filled the allocated two, 50-pound bags to fly over and have given everything else away.

Anyone else out there changing their life in such a way or have done so in the past? Would enjoy hearing from you.
