Guardian expats guide to spain
http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2012...ts-guide-spain
Year-round sunshine and high temperatures, lifestyle choices ranging from the packed Costas to party destinations such as Barcelona and Ibiza, or sedate and relaxing retirement hotspots such as Menorca on the Balearics – why would you not move to Spain? Well, the economy may be one reason not to go. But if you have a secure income and want to benefit from a country with widespread English, easy budget airline access to and from the UK's regional airports, plus houses for sale at 1990s prices, it appears compelling. |

Well it is sunny outside even though it's only 9degs and I'm sitting indoors with a fleece over my jumper. :rofl:

That article is going to get ripped to shreds here, isn't it? :) The Guardian are a sham. They like to think that they are worldly and sophisticated but they are about as wordly as a Greggs sausage roll. Their recent series of articles on independence in Catalunya was equally cringe worthy. One article argued that Catalans are different to Spaniards because they "like to show displays of physical contact and have their own cuisine" :rofl: |

:rofl: Wow, some amazing advice here but you'd have thought a Guardian reader could read the word "taxi"!
How do you spot a cab? They're often black with yellow doors. |

• Spain is five times bigger than the UK, with only two-thirds of its population. |
Re: Guardian expats guide to spain
Ive said it before, I'll say it again.... The Guardian, wrong about everything, all of the time!

Re: Guardian expats guide to spain
The Grauniad is notorious for printing inaccuracies and this article is certainly no exception - what sloppy journalism!
He says you need to apply for an NIE within 90 days - you need it a lot sooner than than, just to open a bank account for starters. Then refers to a Tarjeta de Residencia which doesn't even exist any more. He says you present the S1 form to the local doctor's surgery or hospital - oh no you don't, you need to take it to the INSS office to register. |
