This Is Spain S.L., who are the owners of www.thisisspain.info  are fanatical about encouraging people to learn Spanish if they intend to stay in Spain for more than a holiday. They are delighted to have teamed up with Rocket Languages to offer you a FREE 6 part Spanish mini-course which takes you through the basics. Obviously you are not going to be fluent after 6 short lessons and will at least be able to introduce yourself,  ask for help and order “the perfect coffee”. Once you have mastered these basic steps we can highly recommend their excellent and very affordable online course Rocket Spanish - The Ultimate Guide To Learning Spanish. You will find many references throughout the entire site to the need to learn Spanish and this inexpensive but complete site is certainly going to be able to get you to a good level quickly.    Our intention is to give information for those considering moving to Spain or those already here, particularly those finding their way around. Our specialist area of knowledge is the Costa Blanca and in particular the Torrevieja/Orihuela Costa area. However, much of the information will be applicable to all of Spain. To help those currently looking to purchase a property, we have recently launched a sister site SearchSpainOnline and here you will find an extensive selection of property in all price ranges throughout SpainWell, what is living in Spain really like for an ex-pat?One thing it is NOT is a longer version of your annual two week holiday on a Benidorm beach. It is exciting, frustrating, fun, too hot, too cold, too lonely, too busy, too quiet, too noisy. In short it can be all things to all people and at this stage we have no idea whether you will enjoy or even survive the challenge of living in a foreign climate.What we do know is that your chances of success are increased massively if you have done your homework in advance. What do we mean by that?Well, nowadays, there are many sites on the Internet where you can gain all kinds of information about emigration in general and about emigrating to Spain in particular. There are also several excellent books and you will find many references to two definitive guides.There is David Hampshire’s “Living and Working in Spain - A survival guide” and Blevins Franks “Living in Spain.” You will find details of the books elsewhere on this site but leaving for Spain without studying them in depth is a very dangerous start to your life abroad.As you visit the different sections of this site you will find information about many aspects of Life in Spain. Spain has moved forward to a tremendous pace over the past thirty years and from the sleepy, agrarian state of just a few years ago a dynamic, post-industrialised society has developed. These changes have been seen most clearly on the Costas where you will now find a cosmopolitan lifestyle with prices not markedly different to Northern Europe for many products and services.This site can only be of benefit if it is current and is constantly being upgraded. The speed with which Spain is changing means that we are always under pressure to update it !Nowadays, there are many sites on the Internet where you can gain all kinds of information about emigration in general and about emigrating to Spain in particular.
