Winter in Almeria - Page 3

Found the links.  First is from gov.uk

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/living-in-spain#visas-and-residency

And this from Relocations España; it speaks specifically to EU / EEA citizens coming to Spain

https://www.relocationspain.com/en/guide-eueea-citizens-moving-spain/

I found the link you spoke of as well - dangerously incorrect information there.  These two I hope should Present themselves as a shade more reliable.

For those coming here, the following, posted first elsewhere by Chrisso50 may be useful.  Please note the restrictions applying to beaches:

Hi everyone 

As we will be buying a property in that area very soon, my husband and I are Keen to know all the places to buy things like DIY , bed linen, furniture, and also local tradesmen and all that. If anyone can give us good idea of where to go as we noticed Mojacar, Los Galllardos, Bedar, Garrucha don’t seem to have anything like that. Maybe I’m wrong but we didn’t see any major stores around.

We would love if anyone can give us ideas of where to go shopping for the above. 

Thanks in advance for any information.

Hi, just interested in what you said about the gates at the Airports checking your Passports. What if you drive into Spain from Say France or Portugal, theres no checking of Passports then is there .

As soon as you cross from the UK, there is passport control, and it’s as soon as you leave UK and enter the Schengen area that your 90 days starts, so whilst your passport won’t be checked France to Spain, any subsequent check for any reason will show the date you entered Schengen area
