Three Signs You’re Ready to Move to Spain?

Are you wondering if it’s time you checked out of the UK?
Moving to Spain would be the best decision you
could ever make

As with most of the key decisions in life you will be given fair warning that things need to change. You need to find a new job when your old one becomes untenable. You know you need to get a new car when your old one is falling to bits. You know when you’re ready to start having children when you get baby fever and can’t help but fall in love with every baby that passes by.

So what are the signs It’s time to move to Spain? They can be quite easy to spot at times. Then there are times when you don’t even notice that you’re being steered towards the airport by life. Here are three signs you’re ready to move to Spain.

1.      You Don’t Understand Why Britain has Become so Anti-EU
Many people in England see the UK as cock of the walk and believes that foreigners need to understand their place. They can be quite vocal and you’ll be surprised where they turn up. The main reasons for this attitude are jealousy and a general lack of direction. There was a time when the UK really did have a lot of say in the world, but those days have gone now. These people are not interested in working in a collective of countries that are trying to make a better society for all involved so they begin to lash out.

If you don’t understand why these people insist on posturing, and if you love the EU and Europe as a whole, then you might want to experience life in another country. You certainly have the right to do so as an EU citizen. If that’s the case then you should probably get out now before it’s too late.

2.      You Wonder Why People Don’t Dine Outside
If you’re a Brit travelling across Europe you quickly realise that the UK really is an island unto itself. The British have their own quirks and behaviours that you’ll be hard-pressed to find in the rest of Europe. Some of these are just cherished eccentricities, but when the time comes that you get fed up with pub food served to you on a numbered table, perhaps you’ve had your last supper. At least in the UK.

Dining outside is the way of life in Spain, as it is for most European countries (including the cold ones such as Sweden). Spanish waiters take pride in their work and are very professional about it. They aren’t some snotty, bored, probably half-hungover student trying to drag themselves through a shift. Nearly all of the socialising you do in Spain happens outdoors, in the squares and the plazas, with your neighbours, friends and family. Food may be served, but it is only one small part of the entire experience.

If this is something that has occurred to you too then you should really consider moving to Spain.

3.      You’re Getting Tired of Hearing About Unexpected Items in the Bagging Area
Every fed-up Brit was probably driven there by a machine telling them about unexpected items in the bagging area; whether it came from a self-service checkout in Tescos or Sainsbury’s. It doesn’t matter where it comes from; what matters is that it’s annoying. It’s hardly the only annoying thing either; self-checkouts are annoying in themselves; the omnipresence of Tesco stores is annoying; the lack of choice on the high street is annoying; so is the endless rain and talent shows.

While we could go on we probably won’t have to if you already think like we do. There’s a list in your head of all the annoying things. If you feel that modern British life boring, frustrating, rubbish and annoying then you know it really is time to go.

There really is nothing stopping you either. Spain will open it’s arms to you. There’s the beautiful weather, the busy streets, the stunning beaches, and, of course, the bad TV. Hey, we never said Spain was perfect, but with internet streaming you can watch any channel in the world for very little money with the new IPTV boxes available.
