Barcelona

An expatriate arriving in Barcelona will often feel as if they have stepped onto another planet.

The Expat Guide to Barcelona, brought to you by the team at Expat Info Desk, is packed with tips for dealing with the infamously complicated Spanish bureaucracy, where to find the best food and drink (and how to order it), where to live, how to get around and the best places to take the kids.

Expat Info Desk realised that relocating to Barcelona can be like falling down a Gaudi-designed rabbit hole. In Spain, you need two things to settle in effectively: patience and knowledge. We can´t help you with the patience but we can offer all of the knowledge you will need.

This Guide is the result of hard-won personal experience in dealing with visas and residency, apartment-hunting, car buying, schools, language barriers and more mundane but necessary activities like grocery shopping and getting around.

In other words, it is the helping hand that everybody needs when they pack up their life and move to a brand new country. Enjoy Barcelona with us, and the incredible surrounding areas that make up Catalunya - arguably the most beautiful region of Spain.
