Well after my fifth trip to the Town Hall Mum and I are now officially on the electoral register and can start to proceed with our Residencia applications. As I sat there this morning on my fifth visit I thought about all the horror stories I was told about Spanish Bureaucracy and how slow everything is. Well as I sat looking out at a lovely little Plaza with orange trees, roses and other flowers all topped with beautiful blue skies I thought yes this is terrible ! Lets face it we are foreign nationals trying to gain residency in their country, a country where we barely speak the language. In the UK would it be any easier? - and if so why? It shouldn't be simple should it?
So when we moved here I made a decision that it is what it is and to accept it with patience, good humour and a smile - and that is what I am doing. Lets face it there are worse places to fill out paperwork !
