Buenas Tardes ðŸ˜Ž We are due to move into our new rental property in Arboleas on 1st June. We were planning on leaving the UK at the end of May and driving over through France - but obviously this is all hanging the balance at the moment. I would be interested to hear from anyone else due to move into their Spanish property soon and share any advice, helpful tips or just your thoughts and plans. Thank you

As there’s a plan to start reopening places , I really can’t see how it will be a problem for someone to move home or rent long term , don’t listen to the doubters , get on with it , I hope you won’t regret it , we for 2 will never return to the uk , we just love it so much here , although it’s extremely tough to find work here , suppose we’re lucky as I install kitchens n bathrooms for a living and still have a healthy diary , good luck and I hope u can still go ahead . If u want to send me pm for anything feel free ,

Spain won't be back to near normal on the date that you mention.  There's a lot in the press which can be rather misleading because the president's of certain regional areas in Spain want to get things going as soon as possible and the government wants to go slowly to avoid the virus taking hold again. In the end the government will  have the last word.  Some areas will be back to normal before others but the end of June will be the soonest you can hope for and then only if if borders are open between the UK, France and Spain to non residents.

Thank you Derek,  we are renting for 12 months initially with the plan being to buy if we like it. We will be retiring so no need to work. We have a property lined up to rent but just waiting to see when the borders will be open.

Hi good look with the move.  I have been researching this area .  You will have to let me know your views once you've moved in.  I have pencilled a few areas to look at the I can get over.  Feel free to private message me.  😊
