Pet Insurance

E-mail Print PDF

Spain is not renowned for being a particularly pet loving nation and while they do offer pet insurance it tends to be more for the obligatory insurance you are supposed to have in case your dog bites someone for example.

Protectapet was set up by Wayne Massingham who realised there was a market missing for expatriates living abroad.    There are useful links on his site and a search for dog breeders, vets etc.

New Download: Spanglish Crossword - Shops

E-mail Print PDF

Members can now download the first in a new series of crosswords that will help you learn Spanish in a slightly different way. They are called Spanglish crosswords because the clues are written in English, but the answers are the Spanish translation of the clues.  So if the clue is ´hello´ the answer would be ´hola´!  Don´t worry, you get the vocabulary list first so that you can practice.

You can find it the crossword which will teach you the name of shops in the Free Downloads section.  More to follow soon...

 

Expat Jobs

E-mail Print PDF

Have you seen the Expat Jobs section?  We have put together several RSS feeds to save you having to search through lots of different websites looking for work.

There is a Spain Jobs section which covers traditional jobs with a company and a Freelance section for those of you looking for something that you can do from home.

At the right of the list you will see a list of Job Searches.  One side is in English with the equivalent translation in Spanish on the right.  Even if you don´t speak much Spanish it is worth looking at both as the Spanish listings often have the description in English and may be an English speaking firm who has posted on a Spanish website.

If you know of a good website that lists jobs in Spain that you would like us to add, just send us an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

Have a look at the jobs section and see if you can find something interesting!  Expat Jobs

 

Spain: The Expat Survival Guide

E-mail Print PDF

Spain: The Expat Survival Guide Would you like to have a sneak preview at what is inside The Expat Survival Guide before you buy it?  If you visit Amazon.co.uk you can flip through some sample pages of the book including the table of contents or if you prefer to download a sample in PDF format you can always visit www.bookshaker.com and get a copy there.

Reading this book was like sitting down to dinner with a best friend who'd already made the move and having them explain just what you need to know and how to avoid the many pitfalls. Mrs Solo writes in a easy to read fashion and you feel that she is completely open with the reader. I cannot recommend this enough. I thought that I knew the problems awaiting my family when we make our planned move but it's given me plenty more to think about which I hope will give us a better chance of success. Thank you Yolanda Solo!

This is not your usual kind of guide to Spain and may well put you off coming to Spain!  But it is so important to be aware of what is contained in the guide to make sure that if you do come, you dreams are not shattered because you are not properly prepared.
