wow! Sorry didn't notice the music was too loud in some parts
Hello Dani, thank you for this information, do you have a video where you explain how we can rent an apartment as foreigners or tourists or explain the immigration process with visas? We are from Florida and my family and I with 3 children under 3 years old want to go to Madrid in the next few months. Thanks!
Hi! I explain it all in this video actually :) but visas are more complicated. I only know how it is to go through what I went through to get my residency. You can check my video on “how I became a Spanish resident in Spain”. Hope that helps :)
Hey Dani I am moving to Spain with the family. Also from Venezuela originally. What would you recommend more? Malaga or Alicante? We want coastal towns that was well connected. Great videos!
Hiii! How lovely! Thank you for asking. Hmm I think most people prefer Malaga. Is more “city”. If I were you I’d also try to learn about the cultural differences between the 2 regions (Valencia/alicante vs Andalucía/malaga). In Alicante they have bonfires, they speak valenciano and Spanish, their culture is a bit different. In Andalucía they only speak Spanish, they have flamenco events, they’re very friendly happy and loud. Those are things I can think of right off the bat. But you can read more about it and see what is more aligned to your family! Alicante rent is more affordable, but I think malaga could be a better place to live (although I really dislike their port lol)
Hi! We are considering moving to Spain and we also have a toddler and 2 dogs. Is it challenging to find apartments that are more modern looking and have nice amenities? I feel like by having 2 dogs, it will make it very difficult to find a place.
Hi!! IT is super hard to find apartments in Madrid. Especially if you are too used to American style distributions and amenities. We have been looking for the last month and still haven't found. the perfect one. I get rejected in many because I have kids. Im sure pets will make it worse... If you are willing to have a car, look into Puzuelos, Valdemarin, Fuentelareina (here you will find bigger apartments with amenities). If you want to stay in the city and have a good budget, Moncloa/Calle Rosales. And if you have a BIG budget, then El Viso. They have an area with Chalets/Villas and some buildings are big, but not sure about amenities. However, you will have all services nearby so no need to have a car. I also like Salamanca/ Castellana area where I live but not a lot. ofplaces to take kids :( / More questions ??
The prices of the apartments aren't realistic considering the minimum wage in Spain is 1100 Euros a month.
Let me give you a tip. Go to your bank and obtain a service that will allow you to rent by creating some type of collateral at the bank. That's the way to go as a foreigner. You're paying too much to rent an apartment. $1500/month should be max.
Agree!!!
Hey! Would you explain little bit more about this strategy? Thank you!
hence the problem...sadly apartments are not priced for locals and especially those with moderate jobs and income.
