NEW – Updated for 2007!! Imagine waking up one morning, to hear the sound of gently undulating waves washing up on the shore of a white sandy beach…the smell of roasted coffee beans fills the air, and you get out of bed. In a few moments you are on your balcony, admiring the gorgeous views of a vast ocean, the bright rays of the sun caressing your face, and you wonder if life could get any better than this. Life in Spain can be just like this…or it can be different. Life here can be whatever you make it. If you like fantastic beaches, then Spain has everything you could ever want and more. The beaches in this country are among the worlds cleanest and best. If you like the wonders of nature, Spain has plenty of mountains and parks for you to enjoy. If you like big cities, nothing beats places like Madrid and Barcelona, with their passionate nightlife, dazzling art and architecture, and tasty cuisine. If you like historical small towns, Spain has plenty of those too. Most of the country is dotted with precious small villages, where life has not changed in years, and where you can enjoy the hospitality of the warm and friendly people of this nation. In short, Spain has something for everyone. But your experience here can be different from anyone else’s. If you stay here long enough, Spain will inevitably carve its place inside your heart, giving you memories and experiences you will cherish forever.
If you want to come to Spain, then this book, updated for 2007, is the guide for you! When I tell people that I’ve lived in Spain, and enjoyed a quality of life that few other countries can match, I often get a look of utter disbelief. For most expatriates, living in Spain seems like an unattainable fantasy, something they can only dream about but never actually fulfill. But it need not be this way…because YOU too can relocate to Spain and enjoy a first-class lifestyle for just a fraction of what it costs elsewhere! The reason I’m telling you this is that living in Spain is something definitely achievable, and certainly not impossible, even for a non-EU citizen. Of course, there are difficulties when one moves to a foreign country. But the procedures of moving to Spain and living there are not very different from what you would do to move to any other country. And the reward of living in Spain is definitely worth the effort. That’s why I’ve written this guide, “An Expat’s Guide to Living in Spain,” with the hopes of helping others achieve their dream of living in one of the world’s most fascinating countries. This new e-Book tells you what to do in plain language, when making a move to Spain. Most of the advice I give you is not readily available elsewhere and is the result of my experiences and research, as well as the experiences of others who have made the move. |

There’s not a person I know who hasn’t thought about coming to Spain…and the people who have followed my advice and came, don’t ever want to leave. Think about it, almost everyone is enchanted with Spain, and for good reason! In addition to all the reasons listed above, another reason why many expatriates love Spain is the relatively low cost of real estate. Spain is one of the only places in Europe where you can still buy beachside properties for a reasonable price (i.e. less than $250,000). As I write this, I see listings for apartments on or near the beach in Spain for around $200,000. You would easily pay at least twice as much for a similar property in Italy or Southern France, and at least four times more in California! Not to mention that Spanish beaches are considered to be among the cleanest in Europe. For example, beaches in the Costa de la Luz area (near the city of Cadiz) receive the “blue ribbon” award for cleanliness, given only to the most pristine beaches in the world. But what exactly does the e-Book offer? What I’ve done here is compile a comprehensive guide, which will tell you what you need to do through each step of making your move to Spain and living there. |

And, unavailable elsewhere - My guide also has a step-by-step guide to purchasing real estate in Spain, which literally walks you through the process and helps you avoid the headaches associated with buying a property. You’ll be able to buy property like a Spaniard, and take advantage of the benefits that Spanish residents have! And, as an added bonus, the e-Book comes with a set of visa forms, which you can use to apply for certain visas (such as a residence visa). In addition to all this, at the end of each section, I’ve included some links and contacts for you. One of the most common complaints of expatriates when they move to another country is that it is difficult to find good and helpful sources of information and contacts. Well, I’ve done all of that hard work for you…I’ve included heaps of contacts and helpful resources in my e-Book, and you have access to their expertise, right at your fingertips! You can either read this guide from beginning to end (which is what I recommend) or you can read whichever section interests you the most. However, whatever you do, I hope you will consider coming to Spain and enjoy all that it has to offer you. This guide is for those who are yearning to move to Spain and live there, but aren’t sure exactly how. My e-Book gets right down to business and tells you in plain language, what you need to do to make your dream come true. If you have any interest in moving to Spain, then my e-Book will provide you with the details of how to do it, and will give you an absolutely clear idea of what it entails. Here’s what people have said about my e-Book: "This book opened doors for me that would have probably remained closed had I gone to Spain without having read it first. Following the wisdom in this book made my transition to Spain smooth and enjoyable." – J.D., Sydney, Australia “Arin really knows what he is talking about... I contacted him through this site before I came to Madrid in January and he proved to be an invaluable source of information and advice. He definitely helped to make the transition easy and I highly recommend his book.” – M.S., Los Angeles, California I’ve helped many others achieve their dream of living in Spain…and now, I’d like to help you. So are you ready to fulfill your dream? I hope so….because if you follow through, you too will be able to live in Spain and become the envy of expatriates around the world! Happy reading!
