So your thinking of moving aboard/overseas ? That is great but your unsure where to move , well that is understandable the world is a large place with many many fabulous countries 

And yes you can call us biased (As moving people to Spain is what we do ) (But we also live in Spain so )
Have you concerned Spain ?
Well You Should 

Easy to reach 
For one it is only a few hours by plane from the UK with regular flights from many UK airports to many Spanish airports so unlike some further afield destinations it is easy to still visit family back in the UK and for them to visit you. (And this is also true of many other European countries but that is okay while this blog article is about Spain we do also cover places like France and Portugal ) And depending on the route it is just over a days drive as well to Spain. So you're never far in that sense from the UK and Family and friends 
(Plus it is also easy to move to as ourselves and many other movers offer it as a  regular service between  Spain and the UK)

​Oh but I might miss British food (this is more a quick throw away point ) As Spain is home to Many British people all over the place (But which part of Spain is right for me (Read part 1 here of that article  ) Well as Spain is home to many British people you will in many areas find British food shops and even many of the main supermarkets will stock British food 

Lower Property prices 
Well as you can guess in our work we see a wide range of properties as we move people in, and one thing people will say is oh it cost x or Y and well I sold my UK home and brought this and have money left over, so what your say, maybe the home is smaller, well 99% of the time  it is actual larger than what they had preciously and often even has a pool 
And yes while in Spain property prices are higher on the coast than in land, in most cases your money will spread a lot further when buying or renting in Spain 

Lower cost of living/Shopping
And talking of money going further, in Spain the average living cost is a lot lower than the UK, again this is though both personal experience and customer comments and how much more they can buy at the supermarket and how that includes more luxury products than than would have in the UK and even after converting the money they spent less than they would in the UK for more 
And again it is worth noting that this is very true on your fruit and vegetables (Which are often best brought from your towns weekly market) and as we all may know many of the fruit and vegetables you buy in the UK come from Spain so you will likely notice how fresh it is as of course it has not travelled as far and was more recently growing )

Also worth noting is that many people ourselves included find they pay less in Euros for the same sort of internet usage volumes than they would in the UK
 
The great weather 
Well this point is a well known one but many areas of Spain average 320 days or so a year of sunshine, so Spain is ideal for those of us who love the sunshine (And combined with the closeness though air travel to the UK it is a place some people make home all year round for that reason or just to escape the winter in places like the UK or Norway (As We know several people from that region who do that) and as many thou not all Spanish Regions have winters with day time averages of 20 c it is not hard to see why (But wait you say Spain gets Snow and gets cold , well yes in the winter the nights are cold that is true (But in some regions cases it only feels cold due to the day time to night time temperature differences ) any way back to Snow yes Spain gets Snow often just in the higher peaks ere you find the ski resorts and some regions up north ) 

The Culture 
Well it is often said the Spanish know how to party, and that sure is true, Spain has many festivals and parades though out the year.
And theses festivals cover a wide range of themes from Christmas to Easter to Historical events like the Moors and Christian festivals many towns along the med hold (but only in regions where there was battles between the two groups)
And every town has a town festival every year which is about a week long and a mix of a fair and party/carnival 
And while not sure if this should be under the heading Culture or not it is not unusual here in Spain for people to say Hola as you pass them in the Street

Unfortunately at this current time many things are outside of our hands and the situation is very fluid and changing/developing rapidly 
The current situation includes a lock down in Spain and France (As of 8am Est Monday 16th March) which has forced us on safety and legal grounds to postpone all jobs on the route leaving the 18/03 from Spain and leaving from the UK 21/03 (The current lockdown is scheduled to last until the 31/03/2020 (So as it stands should right now not effect any routes leaving Spain on the 1st April On wards however if this changes we will advise any effected customers )
 
These deliveries are not cancelled and are been treated by us as postponed/delayed we will work with all customers effected to find suitable alternative dates that work for us and them 

We apologises for the inconvenience but this insinuation is outside our control and all we can do is keep monitor the situation and advise you as things change 

Please note that the office side of things will still be operational as we work from home so customer message, enquires etc will still be dealt with and we are still taking bookings for April, May , June etc as it stands 

And we will return to normal full operations as soon as we are legally able to 
​​

When people think of Spain they often think of Sun, Sea and Sangria,in other words the beaches and yes Spain has many many many miles of Lovely Coast and beaches and lovely coastal cities and towns there is loads more to Spain it is a varied land. 

Which is in fact for example the 2nd most Mountainous country in Europe second only to Switzerland 

Spain there for has many many ski resorts, in fact in some resorts cases you can ski in the morning and sun bath in the afternoon. And many mountains in Spain come all but to the beach so you can for example go walking in the mountains in the morning and sun bathing in the afternoon 

The point is that there is something for most people in Spain and every area has something to offer different people, it is a varied country
