Moving to Costa Del Sol from England

Hi everyone!

my partner and I with our dog are planning to move to spain mid to late next year. I am just wondering if anyone else has done this or has any suggestions of planning and places/sites to go to for help.  I am learning the language here in england so that wont be a problem

also does anyone have any suggestions on job sites/centres etc? WE have enough saved up for a while but just a bit of forward planning is what we're trying to do.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks so much

 On the job thing not much about and the web sites dont really work. So make sure you have plenty of cash in hand probably for a year so.

Sorry but thats how it is but it is a delight to live here 

good luck to you in your venture.

Thanks for your reply!  yea i know ts a struggle with the job thing in spain thats why we will make sure we have enough cash to get us through plenty of time!  and as for it being great living there, that is exactly why I want to move. For a better quality of life! :-)

You need to consider self-employment options.

There is work out there if you are good at what you do ie do a good job and charge a reasonable price.

Do you have a profession, skills, trade etc

I know someone coming out soon and he has lined up gardening work through a contact who cleans pools.

 Gardening when its 30 plus, rather him than me

I am a qualified veterinary nurse but would like to do something different, either completely or still in the animal field. My partner is a skilled Piling Operative and house foundation layer with many years experience, he also is a 3yr experienced gardner and would be open to any kind of work really! 

yes Janie2003 i wouldnt like to do gardening in that heat! where in spain do you live and have you moved from the UK?
