With wrong attitude by Carlozz
Watched some time ago Great Escapers tv series. British °µÍø½ûÇøs moved to Spain " to make some money in the sun". By all means, there is nothing wrong with that. But, when Brits arrive here for serving only other Brits, that is a bit ...

They are people who, in my experience, have no real knowledge of their own culture or history.Pray tell, what is English culture? Read More

I have to say that the English are one of the most ethnocentric people I've come across. I used to live in the United Arab Emirates, and the level of arrogance they had - perhaps still believing they were the old colonial lords of the country - ... Read More

In Great Escapers, one British couple opened a restaurant in Spain. During the opening night, the British lady, after serving customers, looked very scared asking her husband: " Somebody said to me Hola. What on earth does it mean?.Are you sure ... Read More

Hello everyone, I’ve just moved to Toronto as a permanent resident after some time in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I’ve been here 3 times before so had no hesitation once I got my PR, and I’ve also studied in the USA ... Read More


Police clearance certificate from Spain by funkdakarma
Hello all! I'm wondering whether any of you on here have ever had to get a police clearance certificate to validate that - during your time in Spain - you had no criminal record? I have an Indian passport, living in Dubai, planning to migrate ...

On the website it says that a passport can also be used, as long as it is a certified true copy. I do have an NIE, but they would only need the number of it (not the ID as such) on the application form. Yes, the police clearance is only required ... Read More

Thanks a lot for your reply. I was actually thinking of flying to Madrid (from Dubai!) just so I can get the certificate, and therefore not risk missing something out via post and wasting all that time for the post to reach and then come back to me. ... Read More

Thanks. But that's not the certificate I need, since I am not applying for a job to work with young people. This is purely for immigration purposes, so a general clearance certificate suffices. Read More

Suggestions about neighbourhoods in Madrid by funkdakarma
Hola everyone. I'll be moving to Madrid next month to begin an MBA program at UC3M. The campus is in Getafe, but I've been advised to stay in Madrid. Could anyone advise a cheaper neighbourhood that's somewhat central, close to metro links, and ...

Thanks for the recommendations Brian. Retiro sounds very nice, mainly due to the proximity to the gardens. I'm coming from the desert so appreciate any green I see! Will keep your suggestions in mind, good to know that my budget is appropriate! Read More


Living in Madrid by Sorsola
Hello! I was sent to Madrid on business along with a few other colleagues. We were only supposed to be here for a short time but we've just been told we could be here for a couple of years! More than happy about that, but we need advice about ...

Hi, I would also recommend Easypiso.com, I've received a lot of replies from tenants who are interested in sharing and it's a very easy site to navigate. Read More

Hi Funkdakarma, It kind of depends on what your willing to pay for a place. Would you be willing to share? If so, it's a lot easier. From what you're saying, neighborhoods like La Latina, Tribunal, Malasaña, might be what you are looking for. ... Read More
