Hi All,
I´m new to this forum and was wondering if I could have a little help?
We currently live in Barcelona but come from the UK. We are planning a move to Malta later in the year as we think it will be a better life for our daughter than Spain. We have approximately a small transit vans worth of stuff to move over with us but all the quotes I have found are for a minimum of a 3.5 lorry so the cost is crazy!!! We have no furniture apart from a child's cot the rest is household comforts. Does anyone know of another way we can move our stuff slightly cheaper. Many Thanks xxx

Hiya,

We just moved from Alicante to Malta, driving to Barcelona to get the ferry. We put out life in a hi-top transit, dogs in the car and jumped on the ferry. Even with high ferry costs, saved a fortune. (Unless you eat in the Ferry restaurants.... take some tins of pate hehe).

Good luck.

I never thought about getting the ferry but that sounds a good idea especially with our little one as flying is always a bit of a handful as she won´t sit still. I´ll look into this I think although we don´t have a transit maybe buying a really cheap one might be worth it!!! How are you finding life in Malta, we love Spain but think Barcelona is a little crazy for our daughter and want something a little bit more laid back and there also seems to be a lot more for english speaking children x
