Moving from Germany to Spain because of work by kratikus

Hi there, I got a job position in the Electronics Engineering field, and I would be moving from Germany to Valencia in the next few months in case everything goes as planned. I know that a few years ago Spain had a very unfortunate financial ...

GC is lovely . We had a timeshare there and considered moving there permanently. However we ended up in the mainland, in Andalusia. I'm sure there are a lot of Brits there- we know a couple in Fataga who write waking guides on the area. You ... Read More

Want to move to Ibiza by Dec. 2021 by cubanojg33

Hi, I am looking to retire in Ibiza. I would like to work there because my retirement from the United States is good but I feel it's not enough. I would appreciate any info on what steps to take. I'm 56 and a United States citizen. I would ...

Hi Shona- sorry I went quiet on you. I find getting around this site quite awkward- do you fancy swapping emails or fb information? You have to make a special point of signing in to Expat.com and it's not always top of mind! Did you have a ... Read More
