Testimonials

I arrived in Barcelona with my son on the 20th September. Neither of us speak Spanish, but we had downloaded the guide to finding a property in Barcelona. What a find that was!!  It is without a doubt the most comprehensive, accurate, practical and clearly written guide I have ever come across.

By following this guide and despite being told by the estate agents that it was the worst week of the year to be looking, we located a flat by Wednesday, in the area that my son had selected. movingtobarcelona.com, generously provided us with a translation of the lease at a nominal cost. – Marie

Just a few pages into your book already many of my questions have been answered! – Glenn

At present, I’m working out the hoops to jump through in organising my resident’s permit, phones and bank accounts. Your information has been very helpful, not only in finding my way around, but in letting me know what needs to be done, and I would recommend you to anyone who wanted to come here. Nice work! And thank you again. – Bill
