I can apply for dual nationality, would this make me a spanish resident, or would i be free to come and go as and when. Not a lot of information out there as to the benefits/downside to this subject.

any information welcome

received a much higher than normal     water bill  when I rang they suggested I must have a leak. nothing is obvious but Im currently not using any water for a few hours having checked the meter reading and will check again in another hour or so to see if numbers have changed

Does anyone have, or know someone who has a vehicle that is allowed to collect a few parcels from Torrevieja and deliver to Santiago de la Ribera please?

We can’t leave our area but need these parcels fairly soon. 

Cheers

Hi All

Hope you're managing to stay safe and well. I have a holiday home near Mazarron and use Bankia for my bills.  Earlier this year they jacked their monthly fees up from €6 to €14 as well as other charges. They've just merged with Caixa and it looks like the fees will go up yet again so I'm looking for an alternative bank.

I only use it to pay water, electric and council bills. I don't use a card and deposit euros cash whenever I'm out there so it doesn't get used much and I strongly object to paying so much. I know banking in Spain is different to the UK but.....

So, can anyone recommend a Spanish Bank with lowish fees? Does anyone use one of the UK banks like Starling etc to pay their Spanish bills? If so, which, and how easy/difficult is it to set up.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to buy wet wall panels for shower enclosures anywhere in this area?

I am trying to establish if I am allowed into Spain by air and if someone can tell me I would be grateful. I have a second home in San Pedro del Pinatar and would like to visit it in January if possible. I am not a resident of Spain. I am aware that a negative PCR test is needed with a locator form but maybe I would be denied entry anyway. I would like to fly in to Murcia but as far as I can tell that is next to impossible at the moment so that would mean going to Alicante which involves going from one autonomous region to another and that is probably banned too?

I am not asking for an opinion on whether morally I should travel to Spain but just what is allowed. 

We finally completed on our property purchase in Santiago de la Ribera recently and have booked an appointment for the padron at San Javier town hall on 23-12.20. We are now living in the property.  We need to ensure we are fully prepared for that appointment so we can immediately apply for our Residencia and driving licence exchange and are enquiring for recommendations of companies who can assist with this please ? Appreciate the timeframe is challenging which is why we need help. 

Hi all,

I have just arrived from Gatwick so thought I would post this regarding the test. Whilst in the queue to board Easyjet we all had to produce the Fit to Fly certificate before being allowed on the plane in the U.K. No form..no flight. Upon arrival in Alicante all we had to show was the QR form at a desk set up just past the Passport Control.. Nobody asked to see the certificate in Alicante airport.  Some people saying on this forum that you can get the test at a U.K.airport but would be interested to hear from anyone who has had this done. Everyone I spoke to on the flight had private tests done but expensive in comparison.
