hi all from dave + trace
hello everyone this is my 1st time on this site or any other site like this i am currently living and working in mainland spain in the costa blanca guardamar to be exact. i am in the mind to relocate again and move to majorca
the reason behind this is because i am finding life in the mailand is getting a bit stress full as i am trying to set up my own business.
the headaches that arise are quite a hand full
what with translators lawyers forms to fill in and not knowing wheather or not you are being led in the right direction
to be frank and honest the main land is very black and corrupt ya carnt even trust a solicitor sometimes
so i was wondering if the island life of majorca was more easy going and a bit less stress in getting settled and being legal with peace of mind
if you can help i would be greatfully thankfull

Welcome both, someone from Majorca will no doubt be along to advise; there's the language issue you shouldn't forget, not all Castellano! Not sure it's any less corrupt, but maybe they'll tell you! What's your trade? Might make a difference.

Fiona is right I guess, it may be an island but the system is the same .... its still Spain.
As an ex businessman I have to say that trying to set up a business is stressful anywhere. Add to that a totally new beaurocracy, a different language and a new country ..... that makes it a lot more stressful. personally I would never attempt it, but to those that try ... well you have my best wishes!

If you can't cope on the mainland then I doubt you will cope on an island. You will have all the usual problems you have been experiencing plus logistical problems.

Re: hi all from dave + trace
i do realise that the island is still part of spain however i was in wonderment that with it being a lot smaller and more close knit than the mainland was the red tape and coruption on a much lesser scale
all i want too do is be legal and able to pay my dues to the best of my abillity
in short i want to intergrate no be an allien
every turn and thing you need to do in spain is made as difficult as pos by the legal and tax sectors
re ..warren i feel as i can cope on the main land just checking if it could be easier on the island
but cheers for all your coments x x x
