Moving to Barcelona (or Spain) from the UK?

So you’re thinking of moving to Spain, maybe Barcelona in particular, or, have you just moved to Spain? This site offers some helpful advice gained from first-hand experience of moving to Barcelona from the UK and living in Spain.

Accommodation in Barcelona

The accommodation page contains information on rental accommodation agents...

Only those rental agents that I feel happy to recommend, of course – for both long-term and short-term apartments in Barcelona.

NEW: An Apartments for Rent in Barcelona page now lists individual properties available, mainly long term rentals and they are advertised by both owners and agents.

If you need short term rental accommodation quickly there is a great, clean and centrally-located hostel where you can choose shared or private rooms with or without en-suite, at very good rates. There's holiday accommodation too in a traditional Catalan tower, a page listing Bed and Breakfast places and now a review of the top five 5* hotels in Barcelona.

Purchase the Connect Club Card

Now you can order your Connect Club Card - a discount card for Barcelona at MovingToBarcelona.com. It gives great discounts at clubs, restaurants, museums, transport hire, shops, rentals... Valuable to visitors and residents, is valid for the whole year and costs only €12.

Learn Spanish in Barcelona

If you don't speak Spanish (Castellano) already you will probably want to learn. Find a list of Spanish language schools and learn Spanish (and Catalan) in BCN.

Catalan cuisine

From el Bulli to Pepe Carvalho's gourmet tastes – Catalonia has inspirational cuisine. Experiment with some typical Catalan recipes and visit the best restaurants in Barcelona.

Legalities, administration, transport and health ...

All important issues: How to obtain your NIE, how to register at the local Town Hall (a legal requirement), how to register with a doctor and receive medical care in Spain, and how to get around Barcelona with public transport and the tickets available.◊
