Galicia Experience

We took the plunge. Having searched for, found and bought a property (the project) in Galicia, we are now experiencing all the issues surrounding a move to Spain, renting our house in the UK and at the same time opening a support office for our company.

Have we bitten off more than we can swallow? Well time will tell. Telling about the whole experience and unearthing the often hidden, forgotten, glossed over or taken for granted little issues is one of the aims of this site. We would value any participation, comments and probably need lots of encouragement.

Having moved from Germany to the UK 15 years ago, expatriation is not an  unknown for us and for example the bureaucracy in Spain brings back memories of Germany. So some of the "quirks" when moving within the EU will have some interesting insight. This site will nevertheless be centered around the UK & Spain.
