Hi Albert,

Welcome to BE. I hope you enjoy being part of our little community.

Please give me a shout if you get stuck on anything.

Hi, and welcome to the Forum! I live in France, but I would suggest that you post again on the Spain Forum, with details about yourself and what line of work you're in. There are other factors to take into account, which are more important than the weather, e.g. work prospects, family to provide for, language, etc...., which you should find out about before your final decision.

to BE.

I'm pleased to hear that you are enjoying BE...thank you for taking the time to say so.

We have several excellent Spain forums. If you post any questions you have about moving to Spain...I'm sure our lovely members living in Spain will do their best to answer them.

Good luck.

Please pop over to the Spain section, plenty of information there.

If you want to ask specific questions can I suggest a search on the threads there as many of your questions will already have been asked and answered.

Not wanting to put a damper on your hopes, BUT, if you are looking to work in Spain, remember it has a very high unemployment rate, some ares over 50% and if you are not fluent in Spanish then getting a job will be very difficult, also there is virtually no benefit net to help people out while unemployed, and no free health service, even pensioners now have to pay for prescriptions.
