Hello, I am new to Expat forum. I have lived in Spain for a while and have recently had a very difficult, horrible experience with an estate agent. I was hoping to warn other newbies to Spain of the tricks that can be pulled on the unwary

Yours

Hello - My name is Matthew (Mateo)

I currently live in Florida, USA.聽 My family, (myself, my husband, our son, and our dog if possible) are looking to immigrate to Spain or Portugal.聽 My husband and I are retired.聽 Our son is 22 years old.聽 We have been to Spain (Madrid and Barcelona) on vacation and will be going to Portugal for the first time soon.

We would love the opportunity to to connect with folks who have made this move and learn more about the process as well as that kinds of things we should be aware of.

I know a little Spanish, but my husband and son don't know any so we are all concerned about having to learn a new language (especially my husband who thinks he is too old to learn a new language).

Hello, my name is Bob, and I鈥檓 new to the expat forum. I have been living in Spain for almost two years now. I鈥檓 originally from the Netherlands, where I lived and worked my entire life. I joined this forum to connect with people who have recently moved to Spain or are considering making the move.

@Matthew (Mateo)

Hello Mateo

My name is James and my husband and I planning to move to Spain in the fall from South Florida (Fort Lauderdale.).聽 We have done a few trips to Torremolinos on the Costa del Sol.聽 Our destination will be Torremolinos for a few different reasons.聽 (1) proximity to an airport and major train station聽 (2) climate (3) gay vibe and (4) a large expat community ( which usually means more English is spoken.) I am fluent in Spanish but my husband doesn't speak any.聽 If you PM me, I would be glad to share a few of the things we have learned.聽 We are not experts, and are in the process the same as you and聽 your family, but we might be a step or two ahead, and we can share with each other what we have learned along the way.

Where in Spain have you been living, Bob?

Hi. I'm Leigh. My husband, David, and I are coming to Spain in mid-October partly as a vacation/partly to do reconnaissance to see which city might be the right one for us to relocate to before the US becomes Gilead from THE HANDMAIDS TALE.

I'm 58, and he's 50. Neither of us are circuit queens, and neither wants to retire. We want to find an affordable city and a place where we can reestablish our careers or maybe start new ones. We enjoy being in a metropolitan area but don't want to deal with a daily 24/7 onslaught of tourists necessarily.

We are planning to visit Bilbao, Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante, Malaga, Toledo, and Madrid.

We'd love to hear from or meet others who are either in the same proverbial boat as us (considering expat life in Spain) or those who are actively enjoying expat life there.

Thanks in advance for any and all advice

Leigh
