Visa for Non EU Spouse by velja
Hello, I need a bit help on this topic and I cant seem to find any lawyer in Murcia area (any recommendations are more than welcome). I've came to Spain several months ago, so in the meantime my Schengen Visa has expired. I got married here (my ...

Weather in Lliria by AyshaK
Hi, I'm thinking of moving from Manchester to the countryside near Valencia with my dogs. I particularly like the look of Lliria but have been told that it gets very cold there. I don't mind the cold, happy with snow, as long as its not ...
"I'm in a very similar situation. Visited Lliria in February and it was pleasant weather then - not cold at all. Maybe this was unusual though" There were a few nice days in February this year but overall this was one of the worst ... Read More

Denia and Javea (northern Costa Blanca) are definitely the places to be right now... they have all the things you mentioned with lots of Spanish and Valencian charm, close to the hustle and bustle of Valencia, Benidorm, Alicante and Ibiza but far ... Read More

Thanks for that update Ribeira. Wow, I can't believe how quickly they passed that law and with no opposition at all! I just read about the potential amendments on El Pais three weeks ago! I supposed it's a good plan because there's ... Read More

No worries at all Tamara and LOL @ how to guide. I'll definitely add it to the list of books I have to write! :) Yeah, Valencia definitely has a serious "buzz" that could be a bit much for people from the west coast or the east ... Read More
