como se dice "living"?

Question

I want to say "I like the idea of living in Spain", but how would I go about saying "living" in that context?

Would I say vivir? or viviendo?

Answer 1

Me gusta la idea de vivir en España.

You use the infinitive in these cases.

Me gustaría vivir en España, also.

In this case, living is a gerund, so it works like a noun.

You use viviendo when living is a participle.

I´m living in Spain = Estoy viviendo en España.

Answer 2

Quisiera vivir en españa = I would like to live in spain, maybe not what you want but best I could come up with.
