Nah! I’m just not into paying both a mortgage in Barcelona and rent in the center of Madrid, which is about 1000€ a month. Let’s see you fork out 2k a month before bills love

Ask your new landlord. He'll put you straight.

Well I’m all in and settled in my jamas… flat’s nice, family are lovely and the area is like the back end of Blackpool  

I honestly thought I was going to be shouted at by the strange group of 60something year old, never done a days work in their life, putting empty beer cans on top of a car alcoholics. But they were too busy arguing with what I could only fathom as, thin air They weren’t even arguing with each other, apart from when they disagreed what thin air said. I sat and watched with a spliff 

I do love a bit of an adventure

Sounds bit of a  swanky neighbourhood

I moved last year and used discountmoving.ca/fr/ for the heavy stuff—they were solid and didn’t mess me around with surprise fees. Took a load off during a stressful time. I'm sure you'll find equally good ones in Barcelona. Make sure to double-check customs rules and paperwork before you go though, especially with animals.

I moved out here two years ago—tough at first, especially with the language, but locals have been sound. Loads more sun, and the food’s spot on. Miss proper bacon though.

I moved back to Barcelona. Couldn’t stand the rain, grey and public transport
