Marbella or Sitges? by Seixas Rei

Thanks @jdfish for the info on Sitges! We're looking to move from inland ndalusia to somewhere within a few hours drive of Girona. Just need to find somewhere affordable to rent/buy! Sitges sounds promising! Read More
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 ...
I would agree- Spain has so far (4 years) been a great move for us. However, I'd say that you have to do it with your eyes open and make sure you have a job/business and some kind of financial back up plan, as nothing is guaranteed in life. And ... Read More

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

Hi, I'm Diane. My hubby & I moved here to Andalusia, Cordoba province, but not far from Sevilla, 4 years ago. So we didn't have any Brexit worries at that time and cant give you much advice on that. But I'm happy to offer what i ... 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

Hi Shona! I feel like we're pen pals!! Remember them?? You're life sounds fun, and probably quite muddy!! As is ours! With the rain and the cold, and no central heating, our house tends to be quite muddy during the winter months! At ... Read More

Hi again Shona! WowWow- what you're doing sounds amazing! And very brave! But Menorca is beautiful, so I guess that really helps!! We're not off grid (at least, not by choice- but you know how it is in Spain and its islands!). We live a ... Read More

Hello Cheryl Thanks for your message. I have read the rules, but fail to understand how I can answer someone's question when they have expressly asked me for information. I did not spam the thread- I simply told someone who is looking to ... Read More

Hi, I am a 58yr old Brit and I moved to mainland Spain almost 4 years ago, after my husband was made redundant. We seized our chance and took early retirement rather than get back on the corporate treadmill for another 10+ years! My ... Read More
