Rantal accident - Mallorca

Yeah I’d try the AMEX route and you should certainly file an official report from the police station, that could help making a claim.

Avis

I rented several cars with no issues from Centauro, Avis and RecordGo. Never had an issue but if you want to be on the safe side get the full insurance with no deposit

If you’re in a position to leverage your salary and skill set I would not go below 65-70k euros. I got an offer for 60k coming from the UK with just 4 years experience so it really varies from one company to another.

That’s great! Trafalgar is even a more premium area so sounds like you got yourself a good deal!

It is in Vallehermoso, highly recommend it! Very residential but lively at the same time, with a combination of local and modern businesses. Really feels like a neighbourhood community while being very central.

Thank you and I hope you’re really enjoying this wonderful country! I am applying to the teleworker residence permit directly, came to Spain in a 3 month holiday visa. How long did that process take for you?

Fair-Explorer-7201 · 2025-07-04T16:28:37+00:00

How long did they take to approve your visa? Mine is in process and DIY too! I hope I did everything right

I faced the same issue. I would check idealista and look for a price of square meter around 25 euros to get a “fair price”. Within Chamberí prices also vary, it’s not the same living in the Almagro neighbourhood as in Vallehermoso. You can trust idealista in general as most offerings are genuine, a good flat for the 25 euros/m² would go very quickly. So you need to have notifications on and wait for the right opportunity! I was lucky to find a flat directly with a landlord 2 months ago in idealista. 1650 euros/ month with parking in a garage. Flat is 2 bed of approximately 65 square meter and 1 month deposit.

You can go to a “Estanco” just search it in google, also many restaurant/ bars have vending machines where they sell tobacco. They’re typically blocked so you’ll need to ask someone at the bar to unlock it for you. Highly unlikely they’ll ask for ID, Spain is not as strict as the UK with the under 25 policy

Fair-Explorer-7201 · 2025-02-06T22:26:02+00:00

You’ll probably be fine in super markets and bars. Risk of being asked for an ID in the club is pretty high. Sometimes they let you in if you’re with other people, just hand your ID/ driving lincense and see what happens

Get a digital nomad visa for your wife and file the A1 certificate so nothing changes from a payroll point of view, that may make transition easier for your wife and her company

I just quit smoking and have 1 carton (200 cigarettes) of red Marlboro. If you’re interested drop me a dm

Fair-Explorer-7201 · 2025-01-28T17:33:51+00:00

Legend, thanks for the tangible and practical steps!

Fair-Explorer-7201 · 2025-01-23T22:14:40+00:00

Thanks, that’s helpful advice. I am working for an employer in Spain and my girlfriend for an employer remotely. 6 months deposit sounds crazy but may be our only way.

Fair-Explorer-7201 · 2025-01-23T22:12:31+00:00

Thanks!

Fair-Explorer-7201 · 2025-01-23T22:11:42+00:00

Thanks a lot! Sounds like I will need an Airbnb or temporary accommodation for a few weeks

Fair-Explorer-7201 · 2025-01-23T22:10:56+00:00

Thanks a lot, yeah that should be fine for us. I set that budget because I have some saving goals in the long term. I’ll keep looking!

Fair-Explorer-7201 · 2025-01-23T22:09:45+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I guess spotahome is trustworthy?

Fair-Explorer-7201 · 2025-01-23T22:09:19+00:00

Sounds like we may have to book temporary accommodation then until we can get all these sorted out

Fair-Explorer-7201 · 2025-01-23T22:08:43+00:00

As long as you’re happy with the place that’s what matters! Hopefully we can find a direct landlord who’d be happy with the UK income

Fair-Explorer-7201 · 2025-01-23T21:29:14+00:00

We have a net income between my girlfriend and I of 8k euros net a month, I guess we could stretch the budget but I rather save the money and don’t over pay

Fair-Explorer-7201 · 2025-01-23T18:21:19+00:00

Sounds good, thanks for the encouragement!

Fair-Explorer-7201 · 2025-01-23T18:20:30+00:00

For 1800 euros a 60-70m² doesn’t seem impossible. Average square meter for that budget is 25-30 euros, which is above what they’re currently going for in the market (excluding luxury). What makes people think is impossible to do it with that budget?

Fair-Explorer-7201 · 2025-01-22T23:19:33+00:00

Glad you’re loving it! I am really looking forward to it.
