Your ten best new friends when you move to Spain

Moving to a new area can be quite daunting so when you decide to change countries, it’s good to know that help is at hand. In Spain particularly you don’t need to find your way through a forest of bureaucracy alone as there are many people here to help smooth the journey for you.

Of the many thousands of people who move to Spain each year (by no means all from within the EU, by the way), most head not to the coasts, but the cities. They come not just for work, but for the sophisticated lifestyle, shopping, restaurants and entertainment.
