After that, the caller, the operator and the Chinese interpreter are on the line at the same time, and the interpreter is responsible for asking the caller for information and relaying it to the operator. Once the information is registered and the location of the caller is locked, a rescue vehicle is immediately contacted and rushed to the scene.

Maternity and Childbirth Allowance In Spain, every woman who gives birth receives an allowance of 2,500 euros as an incentive for women to have children. At the same time, the government gives each newborn child a monthly allowance of 100 euros until the child is three years old.

Homes for the Elderly We often see Residencia de Tercera Edad and Casa de Tercera Edad on the road. These are either government-run homes for the elderly, as in our country, or privately-run homes for the elderly. Some of the elderly people living in these places are widows and orphans, while others have children who are too busy to take care of them, or who wish to go to a home for the elderly.

According to statistics, at present, about 50% of Spain's production of scientific research results from institutions of higher learning.
The most noteworthy thing is that Spain's primary and secondary education is all free of charge, and it is the only country with 14 years of free public education. After the age of 16, students are free to choose their own courses of study, similar to China's Higher Schools of Technology, but they don't have to go through the college entrance exams. This period of education is fully aligned with employment. Since 2013, Spanish universities have been subject to the "Bologna" reform, adopting the standard European model of higher education, with four years of undergraduate studies, one to two years of master's studies and four years of doctoral studies, with qualifications and degrees recognized throughout the world.

In addition, foreigners who do not understand Spanish may apply for translation assistance.

After the property crisis in 2008, Spanish house prices fell by nearly 45% compared to 2008, for example (the average Spanish house price in April 2008 was 2,753 euros per square foot, while in April 2016 the price was 1,624 euros per square foot, the data comes from Fotocasa Indix, which is a 41% year-on-year drop), and in the process the original real estate sector bubble has been fully squeezed (with reference to the price of residential construction in Spain is now 800-1200 euros), part of the excellent real estate market, the value for money of the asset is outstanding, especially in Madrid, Barcelona, marvella and other cities/regions.
9, good building quality and private property rights. Spain's building quality has always been adhering to European standards, leaving aside some well-preserved medieval and even Roman period of the building (lifespan are more than 500 years), the average residential building life is basically more than 100 years (refer to the Spanish Códgio Técnico de la Edificación real estate building general rules), excluding a part of the construction of the Second World War period The properties were built during the Second World War, when a number of rotten houses were built due to a shortage of resources, but have been largely dismantled and rebuilt at a later stage. In addition, private property rights, as long as the purchase of real estate will have perfect legal protection. For example, if the government expropriates the property, it must subsidize the price according to the market price. So in Spain to buy a house, do not have to worry about the short-term quality of the property, easy to hold a long time.
10, transparent and reasonable real estate holding costs. Spain's property holding costs are relatively very reasonable, common holding costs include the following parts (in the case of apartments): 1, parcel tax (IBI); municipal tax office (agencia tributaria) in accordance with the value of the land levied by the property holding tax, about the market value of the property (0.4% -0.2% or so), for example: in the city of Barcelona, a 350,000,000 euros located in the city center, the property holding tax is about 0.4% of the market value of the property. For example: in Barcelona city, a set of 350,000,000 euros located in the city center of the property (92 square meters of building surface), IBI for 729.6 euros a year. 2, property costs (according to the content of the property's services need to pay the fee), also take the above property as an example, for 588 euros a year. 3, garbage disposal fees, residential apartments, this part is generally incorporated into the property fee and pay. 4, water, electricity and gas costs, according to the amount of use to pay, but because of private companies, even if it does not apply to, but has been turned on, but also need to pay a basic maintenance costs, and the cost of water and electricity. For example, if the water is turned on in the above property, you will need to pay a minimum of about 12 euros per month. 5, house insurance and house alarms (optional and not mandatory), the price of a total of about 500 euros a year. 6, income tax on non-residents (if non-resident, that is to say, residents who do not reside in mainland Spain for more than 183 days) need to pay 24% of the income tax on the income from the rental of the property. 7, the cost of maintenance of the house, according to the price of the different items of the different houses, according to the above example, about 500 euros a year.

You can also get back 7 months of rental return per year.
11. Active trading market. Similar to China, Spain is a country with many cities, each with different prices, expectations and conditions. Relatively active real estate market, concentrated in the first-tier cities, according to the number of property transactions in 2015, the first and second place respectively for the city of Barcelona and the city of Madrid. In particular, the city of Barcelona, in the center of the city (Aix-en-Provence) in 2016, the period of sale of second-hand homes was 54 days (from idealista), is deservedly the fastest turnover of the region.
12. Good property returns and strong appreciation expectations. According to our real estate data, the net after-tax return on a home in Barcelona is around 2.5-3% (based on the acquisition cost of the property, including fees, taxes and legal fees) after all expenses are removed. This means that once invested the property can generate a positive cash flow return.
