Nows not a good time. Spain and its people are struggling
if you have steady work and security where you are now, then you should hang on to it. Maybe do some fact finding visits and get a feel for the cost of living, the area, jobs etc...

Advice on moving to Tordera, Barcelona!
G
Hello,
We are a couple (Claire 30 from UK, Danny 36 from Ireland) moving to Tordera. I have a job based in Tordera that I start in June and Danny will look for work once we start iving there.
We want to live in and around the area of Tordera so are also considering Palafolls and Santa Susanna.
We are looking primarily for advise on where to find long term lets with a private landlord that have a minimum of 3 bedrooms,2 bathroom, terrace and ideally a swimming pool.
Can anybody tell us where to look for private lets as we would like to remove the agency fee from our relocation process. Alternatively if anybody can recommend a trustworthy letting agency that would also be good.
We have to this point been looking on fotocasa, idealista, segundamanos and alquiler.
We have a hundred different questions we would like to ask but finding somewhere to live is the most important.
We only found out 3 days ago that we are moving and only have 5 weeks to achieve this.
So it's all a tad hectic at the moment.
All advice will be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance

Good points. Barcelona is an expensive area, you will also need to have contracted employment/proof of income and healthcare before you can become a residentHi
welcome
i would suggest that you start your own thread to ensure the best responses as this particular thread seems quite old.

Living Costs
How longs a bit of string. We are moving next year and have based living costs in Spain as they are here. I suspect some things will be cheaper but you cannot know that until you are actually there. Others may feel different, but some on here may need 20K to live on some others need 13K or even less
Decent wage
Well that depends on your job, presumably you have a job to come to.. although I am not yet in Spain.. there is high unemployment in Spain particularly in your age group. Do you speak spanish...
As for the area I have not got a clue but i am sure others will.
Best wishes
