Cars

If you need a car here in Spain and you probably will, the best thing to do is buy one here. To do this you must be resident and have an identity card to prove you live here. Second hand cars hold their value and can be quite expensive, but importing your own can be a nightmare.

If you must bring your car with you you will need to seek a gestor (pronounced hestor) This is the person that can help you through the process, taking you through the paper-work in the right order, This is most important as, here in Spain the rubber stamp rules.

For any information on this and other legal matters get : You and the Law in Spain by David Searl. This book is invaluable. Try to get the most up to date version because the law changes each day. This book is available in our book shop.

 Please note .

Comercial vehicles cannot be changed and registered on Spanish number plates.

For more infomation on cars, car insurance and driving in Spain. I have found this website please click here.

Spares for your car are very expensive. Most main dealers here, do not carry any stock and have to order it.  As a rule takes 2 weeks if you are lucky. 

Computers

Buying a P.C in spain.

Computers here are a little cheaper than in the U.K. and it seems like a good idea to buy one here. Unless you intend to use your own operating system from the U.K. or you can speak fluent Spanish. DONT ! Buy one.

Nearly all P.C.'s that we have seen in Spain come preloaded with the operating system in SPANISH and you cannot change it to English. When we bought our p.c. we were told we could change it to English. We could not. Even complaining to the company who made it, had no effect. We eventualy had to buy an operating system from England for 200 pounds to make it work in English.

All my research on the internet to change the language pointed to getting an English version of the o/s.

Again.

     DON'T DO IT ! ! ! ! ! IT GETS EXPENSIVE.

If you already have a computer and you would like cheap phone calls or free calls to any other P.C. then Click Here

Update for 7th of May 2009 there is now available a solution to changing the language on any windows Vista operating System from Spanish to English The only drawback is you will need a good working knowledge of your pc if you are not sure that you can do this yourself get a professional to do it for you it will still be cheaper than buying a new O/S.

Post Office

In most small Towns and Villages the Post Office (Correos) is only open for a short time in the mornings Mon to Fri. In the Village near us it is open from  8:30 to 10:30

If you need to post a parcel surprise surprise the post office is where you need to go. There are post boxes but they are few and far between.

If you need Stamps you have to go to the Estanco (tobacconist).

T.V.

If you have sat t.v in the U.K. and you are relocating to Southern Spain, bring the decoder with you. Decoders or set top boxes call them what you like, can cost you up to 500 euros here. Make sure you also bring the Sky card and you will get all free to view channels.Without the card you will not be able to watch itv or channel 4.

The sat dish you have is probably no good here unless it is a big one 1.3 m. A large dish is nessesary, As we are on the edge of the satalite footprint. For information on the set up of your dish click on this link any problems after you have setup your system then here is a link to a forum That could help you.
