Advise and help for me to move to Spain

Hi, I’m new to the site. I’m looking to move to Spain possibly Andalusia. I’ve been wanting to move for a few years and I have an aunt that has been living in Spain for years. I don’t want to live near the coast I would like a nice quiet life in the mountains but still be nearish to some town or shop. Any help would be much appreciated as I would be moving on my own and am nervous about it.

Come to Mijas Pueblo or Benahavis!

Hi , Alison! I do know what you’re feeling, 2,5 years ago moved to Andalusia, myself. In case if needed you can ask me in DM, maybe you will need an advice from the relocation expert : taxes, documentation and etc . Feel free to contact.

  Maybe consider doing an exploratory trip or two? 


Think about what you are looking for in an area.  I moved to a place with great infrastructure, close to airport, public transport is great. 


Once you find some spots that interest you, do a search on youtube.  There are many channels by people who moved from the U.K. and the U.S. and some other countries.  Some go into a lot of detail about the whole process.  But the first think is probably to make a list of what you are looking for and what is important to you.

Hello everyone,

My name is Ayoub from Morocco. I am 29 years old and I work in agriculture.

I am looking for volunteer opportunities on farms around Valencia.

I am hardworking, motivated, and I want to learn and improve my Spanish.

If anyone has advice or knows a farm that needs help, please let me know. Thank you!

Even to do volunteer work, you need to apply for a visa, so you need to contact your nearest embassy.

I made the move to Spain myself, and if you're looking for a peaceful life away from the busy coast, I'd definitely recommend looking at inland Andalusia.


Places like the Alpujarras (Granada province), the Sierra de Aracena (Huelva), or the Sierra de Grazalema (Cádiz/Málaga) are beautiful, with friendly communities, stunning nature, and plenty of charming white villages. You can enjoy mountain life while still being 15–30 minutes from supermarkets, healthcare, and other services.


My advice would be to rent for a few months before buying or settling permanently. Every village has its own character, and it's worth taking the time to find the one that feels like home.


Moving alone is a big step, but Spain has a very welcoming expat community, and you'll soon meet people through local events and groups. Wishing you the very best with your adventure!

Hello Alison,


There are so many beautiful, peaceful places to live in Andalusia. If you could share a bit more about what you're looking for—your budget, lifestyle, whether you prefer the countryside or within an samll town, and any other priorities—I’d be happy to suggest a few areas that might be a great fit.


Off the top of my head, I would recommend looking for somewhere within 30–40 minutes of a major city such as Málaga or Seville. That way, you can enjoy a quieter lifestyle while still having easy access to airports, hospitals, shopping, restaurants, and all the amenities of a larger city.


The good news is that you have thousands of options, so I'm sure we can find an area that suits you perfectly.
