Looking for any tips and guidance for relocating from the United States to Spain. What were the major steps you took, lessons learned, and recommendations for making this move as easy as possible.
My wife Le and I are looking to move to Spain from Tampa Florida in April 2018. We are both retired and would like to live in a coastal city within a 45 minute train ride of either Barcelona or Valencia. Also would welcome thoughts about potential cities / towns that might be good places to relocate either from expats or locals. Our plan would be to rent a 2 bedroom / 1-2 Bathroom house or flat for 1 year, a Terrace overlooking the Sea would be ideal.
We of course have our US Passports and are working on our retirement or Non Lucrative Visa for non EU Citizens paperwork (will go thru Spanish Consulate in Miami, any experiences with this process?), but are interested in understanding additional steps we need to take to make this move happen.
Thanks for your help.
