Living and Working in Spain "The Book"
Hi all,
I have just bought the book Living and Working in Spain 2005 by David Hampshire. For those that would also like it the ISBN is 1-901130-75-452495
I wondered if anyone else, who now lives in spain bought this book as part of their research before migrating and if so, what their opinion is of it?
It seems an excellent book to me, so far

Things appear to change in Spain from week to week, and every region seems to make up its own rules, so I'd suggest you interrogate websites covering the specific areas you are interested in, such as costablancaexpats.net, for example.
Then you could ask questions of others on that site, such as "How do I get an NIE if I live in(say) Torrevieja?", and hopefully you'll get the benefit of their expeiences.

I read two of these books, the Hampshire and another which seems to have gone walkies in our disorganisation or on permanent loan. A third book to have is David Searl's "You and The Law in Spain", from Santana Books (cheaper than the on-line shops when I bought it: http://www.santanabooks.com/list.htm ).
Again, situations are always changing, so never act without corroboration, but they do provide and excellent starting point and assistence with the right questions.
Read, inwardly digest, reference back when you have an issue, then check with someone in the know, then check again if it was a Spanish civil servant, because they probably couldn't be bothered to give you the right information first time round.
