Hi! I live in the UK and often fantasise about living in Spain or Italy in the future. I speak a fair amount of Spanish, but had no idea about the NIE number or residency number. I found this video really helpful and informative, and I appreciate you making it. Thank you :)

Well balanced Vlog - thanks. After 22 years here I can agree with most of what you have said. It's very useful to have a variety of skills that you can make money from because working for day wage is going to be tough. The life here is fantastic once you have overcome the culture shock. The locals are warm and friendly once you have been introduced. So much history, culture and beautiful, rugged scenery to enjoy. Fabulous food and wine and fiestas. I will never leave.

Or ? not so much - because you think you pick the right country ? There are ssoo many other countries... I am going in 2 days there...Is he American ?no he is not .

Speaking about the climate in Spain from Costa del Sol is like speaking about the climate in USA from Florida.Spain is the second largest country in Europe, the second one mountanious and its geography is very varied. Therefore, they are several climates : atlantico u oceanico ( Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, Basque Country ), Mediterranean, continental ( Castilla, Aragon ) sub-arctic ( Pirineos, Cordillera Cantábrica...) , semi-arid ( Murcia, Almería ) and subtropical ( Canary Islands ).

one of the best vids on this topic... short and iformativ... thx a lot

Spot on! I moved to Marbella 2 years ago and have exactly the same information, experiences and advice. I would also mention that if you are planning to move to Spain as a freelancer be aware of the Autonomo fees that most other countries don't have! Great video for anyone thinking about moving to Spain! As you have mentioned It can be quite challenging and everything takes forever! Banks, police offices and paper work offices tend to close at 2pm so it becomes impossible to get paper work done if you have a full time monday to friday job! Things like car tax need to be paid in the office of which your car is registered! Can not be paid over the internet like most countries! The list goes on! You also need to register in the new town hall everytime you move! Another thing I wasn't aware of! But.... living in Spain is great on the whole :)

My partner and I we are planning to move to Spain in a couple of years. Even if we have lots of Spanish friends it's awesome listen a point of view from a foreigner. Thank you for the tips, they are very useful.

Great advice. An open honest presentation. Liked it so much I subscribed.

We are from the US ... living In Phoenix AZ where our summers are very hot (great winters... so great it's our busy season; and summers are lifeless) my husband and I have been looking to buy a summer home in Spain. Our grown children speak Spanish but we do not. We have picked up a few words from visits to Mexico but not enough to get by. Something to work on. I am also trying to research the process of buying a vacation home in another country etc... Lots to learn! Thx again!!!

I am going to Spain tomorrow, can't wait =) Thank's for the video =)

Wow, your English is near perfect! Thanks for sharing the information. It is a great help.

This is all good information Denmark. ppreciate ya, thanks It does make sense, I mean about the Spanish being lay back. I can totally relate to that. There is a misconception about the Mexican laborer being lazy - yet, they are some of the hardest workers in the field. My grandparents used to say: you work hard, you play hard or you lay back. I would love to see Spain, the other side of my Latin culture. I hope to get a chance before I get old
