Moving to Spain as a family comes with a lot of challenges, not least what to do about schooling. Our daughter is just about to start her 4th year of school in Spain, so we are now used to the Spanish school system and what is expected of foreign children being at a Spanish school….
We’ve been living in Spain for just over 3 years now and have only really scratched the surface when it comes to exploring the country. Having to fit travel in around school holidays doesn’t help (too hot in the summer and no half terms!), but we’re managing to gradually visit more and more places in…
Alicante is a great location, whether for a family holiday or just a day out. This seaside city has so much to offer for all ages, you will have plenty to keep you busy. We know what it’s like though when you go on holiday with children and need to keep coming up with ideas…
If you want to move to Spain permanently, you’ll probably need to find some kind of work to support you and your family. Maybe you’d like to know how to become a digital nomad and live in Spain? Getting a job in Spain isn’t easy. The unemployment rate is high, you will usually need to…

We have had some awful weather here on the Costa Blanca recently – March was the rainiest month since 1927, and so far April has been a bit hit and miss. When you come to Spain on holiday, you’re not usually prepared for rain and we have had a lot of people on social media…
Moving to Spain post-Brexit has brought a lot of hassle for UK citizens as a visa is now needed to reside permanently in Spain. The Non-Lucrative Visa is the most common option at the moment, but since you aren’t allowed to work on this visa it isn’t ideal for those without large amounts of savings….
Before moving to Spain we had never visited Valencia. You don’t seem to hear as much about this city as you do Barcelona or Madrid, but it’s such an amazing place to visit and has become one of our favourites. Is Valencia worth visiting? Yes! A perfect mix of old and new, there is so…
If you’ve started researching a move to Spain, you have probably come across the term NLV or Non Lucrative Visa. Since the delights of Brexit, you can no longer move to Spain long-term without first acquiring a visa, and an NLV is the type that will be needed by most people from the UK. This…
