Hi, agree with people to buy electrical goods in Spain. Try to avoid the cheap adapters as they are a fire risk. Furniture also can be expensive, but with so many Brits going back and selling up many good  quality items are going cheap. We wish we had waited and bought some items second hand. Half the fun of furnishing your home is shopping around!

good luck with your life in Spain

Hi

Do not use a bank to transfer money abroad. Try a company such as the many with adverts on here. You MUST look at the bottom line. For example, some will say no charges but the rate is poor. those that charge you a fee may have a very good rate. This week I transferred £1000 and this was 1680 euros credited to my Spanish bank account no charges either way, but of course reflected in the exchange rate.

 

Ex Barclays by the way!
