Product Description
From the Author
Many thousands of British, German and Scandinavian couples move for these reasons. Over the years they have holidayed in there thousands in Spain, enjoying the country, the people and the climate. It is still a relatively cheap country where one can enjoy a standard of living that is just not possible in any Northern European country. It is close to home. Travelling by air, rail, and sea, or by using the Channel Tunnel can be quick and it can be cheap. Keeping in touch is easier and visits by friends more likely.
Permanent residence is not just a continuous holiday. It starts with a honeymoon period, going to many parties and making new friends. Of course this does not last. But there is no returning home; there is no office, no salary and no pressure. It is important not to get bored. Cerveza drinking and sun worshipping can take its toll. Keep active by working part time in a non-demanding situation, or by joining several social clubs and partaking in the many sporting activities available. Have a full and busy life, do the things you enjoy, keep happy, healthy and feel young.
Of course there are some problems. Charming people as they are, the Spaniards do tend to speak very rapidly in a regional language which seems to be quite different to the Spanish learned at night school back home. They have a different body clock too. They can be noisy. Then there are the frustrating delays. People do not rush about. If you need something repaired, it often takes longer than it should. But one adjusts and learns to be patient.
The aim of this book is to help you get the most out of living in Spain; impart knowledge on how to deal with problems and give information on how to enjoy life. Lots of people have now spent many years here and if they were still living elsewhere would not hesitate to make the same decision again. They feel Spain is now home. They have been revitalized, enjoy a different lifestyle and feel young again.

Going to Live in spain:,
This review is from: Going to Live in Spain: A Practical Guide to Enjoying a New Lifestyle in the Sun (Paperback)
I Travel to Spain Frequently on Business and pleasure to see friends and I found this book a most interesting read. I specifically liked the shaded text inserts in most of the chapters entitled DID YOU KNOW. I found these very informative because I DIDN'T KNOW. It has really given me a push to start looking for my first property in spain. Like Spain, this book is different from the rest.

Not really for me,

This review is from: Going to Live in Spain: A Practical Guide to Enjoying a New Lifestyle in the Sun (Paperback)
I gained very lttle from reading this book. Any reader who has alreadystarted to research a move anywhere overseas will be dissapointed with thelack of detail. All aspects covered are very general in deed. If I couldpraise any area covered it would be the aspects relating to retiring toSpain.Sorry but I must be honest otherwise the review would bepointless!

Excellent read,
By jay whimster (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Going to Live in Spain: A Practical Guide to Enjoying a New Lifestyle in the Sun (Paperback)
Excellent read - couldn't put it down even though its non fiction. Plenty of facts but very easy to read and digest. One small gripe - I'd have liked a small map of Spain included for reference.A visit to Spain coming up soon!
