If you are moving to Spain rather than a holiday you need to be absolutely sure that it’s the right move for you. So many people leave their brains on the runway and get caught up in the holiday mode, it’s so easy to go wrong, you need patience and a dogged determination if you don’t want to end up as a sad statistic like so many have before you.

The good news is that by following some simple guidelines and thinking hard before you commit to anything, there is no reason why you cannot enjoy a much better standard of life in sunny Spain.

What seems to attract most of us is the thought of the glorious weather and how nice it would be to wake up every morning to the sunshine but remember, this will eventually ware off and you will take it for granted, so ask yourself would you really be happy living in a hot climate? (I’ll bet you answer a definite YES to that!)

Strange as it may seem, although the sun is fantastic in the beginning every so often most of us yearn to see a cloud and some ice cold rain in your face.

The lifestyle in Spain is a lot more laid back and even the simplest things tend to take an age to get done, it’s that mañana syndrome which is still very much alive. It takes a bit adjusting to and can be really frustrating at first, then you either accept and adapt or have blood pressure issues! One thing’s for sure, living in Spain is a complete change of lifestyle for the better but it’s not a holiday, you should think really carefully about it.
