Greetings all,

I am a new member here on the site, from Toronto Canada. My wife and I have been living in Barcelona for six weeks in what was originally to be an extended three month break from life in North America. However, shortly after arriving in Barcelona we fell hopelessly in love with the city, the food, the people, the whole shebang so to speak and now we are hoping to stay. Thanks to our status as dual citizens (Canada and the UK, as both of our fathers were born in Scotland) we were able to get our NIE’s very quickly (it only took us an hour and a half to register, pay the fee, and receive the certificates). Now our next step is to look for work.

Anyhow, we’ve been reading and making use of the resources on this fantastic site of yours for some time now, and I thought it was time to register and say Hola! I’m very much looking forward to conversing with you all in the weeks (and hopefully) years to come.

Adios!

Hello

We have just moved here too. Living in palafrugell which is about an hour and half from barcelona up the coast. If you.re up this way would be great to meet up. We.re not quite ready to make it to the big city yet as have 2 small boys. You,re doing better than us, still haven.t managed to get our NIE! Anyhow, email address is .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) as living off free but slow wifi at the mo so takes forever to check this site.

Sorry, forgot to say from the uk. I.m Orlena, husband Carlton and sons Galen and Dante.

Regards

Orlena
