SPAIN EXPAT RESOURCES

Did you know that you can add a listing to the expat directory for free?  There is nothing to pay if all you want to enter is the name of your company, website and description and one category.

Please note that only registered members can add directory listings and all listings must be reviewed before going live to avoid any spam.

If you can´t find the right category to place your listing in just let us know and we will add it for you.

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...

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

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.
