Hi Tina,
Padron is easily obtained from Oria town hall and is free, you will need an electronic (print out) of said document for Residency application along with proof of income which is easily done at present by asking your Spanish bank to provide proof for Residency. I think as a coupe (married) it is around 8,700 euros needed to show in the bank, single person is 5,500 euros minimum. NIE, passport and copies of required plus a tax form TASA 790 which is 12 euros, EX18 Residency form and proof of health care. In my case as under retirement age and not employed I needed a years private health care. Shop around if this is needed and if it is then needs paying whole year up front as receipts to prove payment required, plus policy needed in Spanish but make sure you get English copy too for yourselves if Spanish not good. If Spanish limited then you will be best advised to have an interpreter for the foreign office in Almeria once appointment made there. Private message me if need further details as just got mine last month.
