Living in Spain: From Scotland to Costa Blanca with Rena | Expats in Spain S1E1

To kick off the podcast, I’m joined by Rena, a colleague of mine who came all the way from Scotland. She’s been experiencing firsthand what it’s truly like to adapt to life here on the Costa Blanca—specifically in Villamartín, a perfect area for foreign residents.We talk about the raw reality of moving: from the culture shock of the first few months and the paperwork, to the laughs (and the occasional scare) trying to understand how we drive in Spain and what’s going on with the roundabouts. She also tells us what she misses most from back home, her favorite spots in the Vega Baja, and how her daily life has changed since trading the rain for the Mediterranean sun.If you are thinking about taking the leap and moving to this area, or if you already live here and just want to have a laugh sharing these "culture shocks," get comfortable and stay with us.And if you have moving to the Costa Blanca or the Vega Baja on your mind and feel a bit lost with the areas, the lifestyle, or the process, leave me a comment or find me on social media. I’d be happy to help you out just like a local neighbor!For any questions—whether you want me to be your real estate agent, you’d like to be a guest on the podcast, or you just want some guidance and advice—feel free to drop me an email at: [email protected] you can find me on my socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mediterranean.homes/?hl=esTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mediterranean.homes.jdFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573696841820Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/javier-dom%C3%ADnguez-gonz%C3%A1lez-927622207/Subscribe and follow.
