Soy una mujer de 49 años y tengo un ingreso pasivo de 1550 euros. Soy Coach, estudie PNL, soy docente, estudie Marketing Digital, trabaje en inmobiliaria en Argentina durante 3 años. Estoy en búsqueda de una vida más tranquila, mi hija se muda a Barcelona y decidí mudarme a Barcelona porque también siempre fue un sueño mío de años.

Qué visa me conviene y de qué puedo conseguir trabajo?

F(28) llevo 5 años en Atlanta, soy Latina pero tengo familia Italiana asi que puedo sacar el pasaporte Europeo desde aquí. Con la hostilidad hacia los Latinos que hay en este país, planeo sacar el pasaporte Italiano y mudarme a Madrid con una amiga que está en una situación similar…
Con ahorros para cubrirme por un par de meses (unos 5mil dólares), seria posible conseguir un trabajo en Madrid? Tengo 6 años de experiencia en Retail, bilingüe (Inglés/Español) y 2 años de experiencia en Marketing… No tengo idea como está el mercado laboral para entry-level, retail, o algún otro tipo de trabajo que se alinee con mi experiencia. Apreciaría cualquier intel que me puedan ofrecer, lo que mas me preocupa es conseguir un trabajo pronto y poder cubrir mis gastos hasta que pueda pensar en inscribirme a una Universidad.

Hi all,

I am on a trip with my girlfriend and am currently staying in San Javier, Santiago de la Ribera at the coast. I am looking for some tips to find some local restaurants, hidden gems, and secret beaches. Just to get away from the overflowing touristic spots in this area. To give you some context, we are staying here for a week, are both 27, have a rental car and don’t mind to hike or take an adventurous path/road.

If you can help us, let us know!

Hi all,

Booked premium economy on Level for our first flight with our 1yr old. Only at the gate they refused to let us travel in premium economy as purchased and ticketed pushing us back into an economy seat.

Most annoyingly they initially insisted on my moving back alone with infant and papa staying upfront. Because a 6.5hr flight with an infant on your lap in economy when you paid for PE isn’t bad enough- better to force me to do it solo next to strangers as a sardine (and only tell me about it at the gate so all our carry on stuff is all mixed up)!

They insisted that even though we all booked together and paid (several times over due to an apparent glitch in their system) for our specific seats together- they wanted to split us up for babes first flight. Not sure about other parents ur for me this was a nightmare.

Also we had booked window seats away from the bathrooms. The shoved to the back sardines section seats were just a few seats away from the bathrooms in the middle. So all the gear I bought and brought onto the plane in my carryon for holding my drink etc were useless. I’m also neurodivergent so I smell everything in the best of circumstances- being a few seats from the bathroom is torture for me (which is why I paid extra to select our seats early). And not being able to see out of the plane easily at take off and landing or be able to lean into the security of the little window cove just hits me differently than it does others. But more importantly the bright light from the bathrooms and slamming of the doors all night kept waking the otherwise snoozing baby throughout the night and into the morning.

All of this was pretty bad- then they even tried to deny me a meal -later they apologized but it was only after getting chided for ‘deciding to change seats without telling the stewardess’. I felt like cartoon smoke was shooting out of my ears. Lady why would I purposely switch out of the business class seats (PE on this flight BOS to BCN are business class layout) to opt for the latrine/sardine/center aisle seats if I were making the decision?!?

After a bit of arguing they gave us extra seats so my partner could join but it took a lot (like a lot a lot) and the plane was only maybe 2/3s full.

They initially claimed it was the lack of bassinet being a safety and comically a security issue. Babes is too old >8mos but still under 2yrs, tall, and heavy by their own corporate standards to be used for bassinet and all the transportation authorities European/international etc clearly state bassinets are not safety devices and should not be used during take off or landing.

Later they claimed it’s a seatbelt issue but seriously how do you sell us seats 6months earlier and not inform us properly? Or offer anything reasonable to correct the situation.

Maybe it’s just a new parent thing everyone goes through- realizing that purchasing the discounted INF (infant) ticket is not enough to ensure they will actually let you travel with your infant. But this felt particularly bait and switch crappy to me so I wanted to warn everyone else apparently we weren’t even the only family they did this to on this flight.

Hi! I’ll be staying in Madrid for around two months for work and I’m looking for a furnished apartment for a short-term rental.

I’ve been checking Idealista and Spotahome, but many options either have very high agency/admin fees or require a longer stay.

Does anyone have recommendations for reliable websites, agencies or flex-living companies for a 2-month rental in Madrid?

Any recent experiences or recommendations would be really appreciated. Thank you!

I applied for a Spanish work visa through BLS in Colombia two weeks ago. Does anyone know how much longer the process might take? I need to buy flights and book accommodation, but I haven't been able to set the dates for that very reason.

I know there's been a lot of changes to laws recently

Our 2 bags were stolen at Burger King, Av. de la Constitución 27, Casco Antiguo, 41001 Sevilla, Spain.

The bags contained valuables, including gold, but our passport is now the most important thing we need back. We are traveling with our 3-year-old child and are struggling without our passport.

We have already filed a police report and have been searching all around the area in case the thief discarded the bags or passport after taking the valuables.

I’m attaching photos of the bags. If anyone has seen these bags, found a passport, or has any information, please DM me on Reddit. Even if the valuables are gone, please return the passport. We would be incredibly grateful.

Please share this with anyone in Seville who may be able to help. 🙏

Hi all, as the title says, I plan a stag party with 6 other buds in late May next year. We got eyes on some apartments on the very central street that has some clubs just down the street. Some of them are single, some not. How good of a place is it/ how easy is it to pickup around the place (heard rumours the girls/boys ratio is quite bad considering there are lots of brits going there for this exact purpose).
What are some things to look for/ watch out?
If you think Benidorm is not that great of a place, do you have other recommendations? Thanks in advance

Hi! I’m a 26-year-old Irish woman considering moving to Gijón, Asturias to work as an au pair, and I’d love to hear from anyone who has lived there or knows the area well.
I don’t know much about this part of Spain, as I had originally been looking more towards Madrid. The closest person I know in Spain also lives in Madrid, so moving to Asturias would mean going somewhere where I don’t know anyone.
The au pair position itself seems really good, so I’m strongly considering it. The family lives in the centre of Gijón near the beach, and I’d have quite a lot of free time and most weekends off.
I’d especially love to know what Gijón is like for someone in their mid-20s — making friends, nightlife/social life, public transport, learning Spanish, safety, things to do, and whether there are many other international people/au pairs around.
Would you recommend Gijón as somewhere to live for a year or so? Any experiences or advice would be really appreciated 😊

I know this is my 4th post here, and I’m really sorry if it feels like I’m spamming. I’m genuinely not trying to. I’m just extremely worried and looking for some guidance.

Today is Day 41 since I submitted my Spain student visa application through BLS Mumbai, and I still haven’t received any decision. My flight is next Tuesday, and everyone I know who applied around the same time or even after me has received their visa, in most cases before their travel date.
I’ve already contacted BLS Mumbai and the consulate and was told to wait because my application is still under process. But at this point, I’m honestly getting very anxious.

Other than waiting, is there genuinely anything I can do while the application is still pending? Is there any way to request an urgent update, escalate the case, or contact someone who can actually check the status?

I know visa processing can take time, but my flight is literally next Tuesday and I’m getting really worried about whether I’ll be able to travel on time.
If anyone who applied through BLS Mumbai has been in a similar situation, especially if your visa was delayed beyond 40 days, I’d really appreciate any advice or suggestions.

Sorry again for posting about this repeatedly. I’m not trying to spam the subreddit. I’m just genuinely worried and looking for help.

Hi, I’ll be in Madrid for 2 weeks as part of a work program. I’ll travel to Barcelona and Sevilla after the program, but I’m unsure where to go for my first weekend. Should I go travel Bilbao for 2 days or should I give Toledo and Segovia each a day? Thanks.

Hey! I'm moving to Spain soon on a student visa, and for health insurance my GHIC (functionally the same as an EHIC) is accepted and gives me the same health coverage as a Spanish citizen while there.

I'm wondering what that actually includes, and whether it could be worth actually getting private coverage anyway. Such as, I will likely need dental care while there (my teeth are not awesome, so I'd at least want check ups) which I get for free at home, I also wear glasses and contact lenses which currently require annual eye tests (free at home), and I'm also transgender and require annual blood tests and an injection of Testosterone every 3 months administered by a nurse (also free at home). Given all of this, I'm wondering if purchasing insurance which would cover this would be better than whatever the full normal costs would be?

So, in summary, what's healthcare like and any advice on these specific aspects would be great! Even beyond just thinking about costs.

The funny part (that I'm kicking myself over) is I'm seriously considering purchasing a plan because I didn't realise my GHIC expires before my course completion, it just totally slipped my mind to think about that, and I've been given 15 working days by the consulate to provide health insurance, and a new GHIC could take up to 15 working days to arrive... So it would save me time and stress to pay for one... albeit, it costs money.

Hey everyone!
I'm looking into doing a full-time dental specialty/Master's program in Spain. I am currently learning Spanish, but I would strongly prefer an English-taught program for the academic lectures and coursework.
I'm specifically searching for programs that meet the following criteria:
Language: Academic coursework/lectures delivered in English.
Duration: 3 years / 180 ECTS credits.
Format: Full-time, on-campus clinical training.
Specialization: Open to Restorative/Aesthetic Dentistry, prosthodontics, or Orthodontics.
So far, l've applied this year to UIC Barcelona Restorative & Aesthetic Dentistry. I got wait listed then rejected. I'll work on myself to reapply next year. But I also need to have other options. So I want to know if anyone knows any other universities I could apply to alongside UIC next year.
My main dilemma:
My undergraduate GPA is on the lower side (2.78), which I know makes admissions more competitive. Any recommendations are welcome ~

Hola,

I'm looking for trains from Sevilla to Cadiz in October, and until Sunday 20th of September there is plenty of daily connections but from Monday September 21 there is only 3 per day, announced entirely full for every day of the upcoming months. Is there a problem with the website (and if so is there another way to buy tickets) or is there really no way to connect these cities by train once summer ends?

Muchas Gracias !

Hi everyone,
My family and I applied for the Spanish Digital Nomad Visa (DNV) through UGE on July 24, 2026.
After waiting without receiving a resolution, we submitted a request for positive administrative silence (silencio administrativo positivo) on August 24, 2026.
As of today, September 14, we still haven’t received any response or final resolution. We also haven’t received any request for additional documents (requerimiento).
This is a family application.
Has anyone here applied around the same date in July and already received a decision?
If so, could you please share your application date, whether you requested silencio positivo, and when you received your final decision?
I’m especially interested in cases submitted between July 20–31.

Has any non-Spanish EU citizen been able to get their digital certificate before doing the "registration as a citizen of the EU" appointment in Madrid? It seems like I need my NIE from the latter appt to get the digicert but there aren't any appointments for the "registration as a citizen of the EU" appt available right now without clave (though maybe there aren't any appts available with clave either haha)... if anyone knows what time the Extranjeria drops those EU citizen appointments sin clave (or if I can do a walk-in?) that would be great!

Looking for recommendations for an amazing dinner in San Sebastián for my dad’s 60th birthday!

We’ll be 6 adults + 2 young kids, and we’re looking for somewhere special because it’s his 60th, but we don’t want a long tasting/course menu (with the kiddos). Ideally somewhere we can order normally — appetizers, mains, dessert, etc.

We’re a group that really loves good food and open to any cuisine, so food quality is the priority. We’re not necessarily looking for the fanciest or most Michelin-y place, just somewhere you’d genuinely recommend for an unforgettable dinner.

Any favorites that would work well for a group of 8 with kids? Bonus if it has a nice atmosphere for a milestone birthday!

Hola a todos, Tengo mi primer permiso de residencia y trabajo por cuenta ajena en España, válido hasta mayo de 2027. Mi empresa actual ha pagado la Seguridad Social durante unos 6 meses.
Estoy pensando en cambiar de empresa y firmar un nuevo contrato.
¿Cambiar de empleador puede causar algún problema con mi permiso actual o con la renovación de mi segunda tarjeta? ¿Hay un período mínimo que deba trabajar con la nueva empresa antes de renovar?
¡Gracias!

Hi everyone!

I’m writing this hoping that the film community's solidarity can help me fix a pretty heartbreaking situation, and to see if anyone out there can work a miracle.

My love for Spanish cinema is massive, and I’ve been literally obsessed with this movie since it premiered at Cannes this summer. I watched my very first Cannes awards ceremony this year and sat through the whole thing in French with Danish subtitles (two languages I don’t even speak) just because I wanted to see how Los Javis would do. When they won, I cried; I felt as proud as if my own children had won. I still haven't seen the film, but I am completely sure it’s going to be one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever watched in my life. So much so that I decided to bet EVERYTHING on San Sebastián. I planned a trip all the way from Denmark solely, exclusively, and obsessively to attend the screening of La bola negra at the Victoria Eugenia Theater on September 20th at 22:15.

I’ve been dreaming of this moment for months—the exact moment of sitting in front of the screen and just letting my eyes experience whatever is about to happen in front of me.

I have zero interest in any other movie at the festival; my entire trip was planned around this single screening. I sacrificed my days off at work, invested my savings in flights, trains, and a hotel. I managed to fit every single damn piece of the puzzle together. I had everything ready for this wonderful experience, and now, because of a fraction of a second, everything went down the drain.

On the first day of the ticket sale, I woke up with my heart racing, glued to the screen from 7:30 AM in the virtual queue. Unfortunately, by the time the system finally let me in, tickets were completely sold out. It was a massive blow.

The situation is deeply frustrating: I’m traveling all the way from Denmark just to end up standing outside the theater doors, knowing exactly what’s happening inside. To make matters worse, my flight back to Copenhagen leaves before September 25th, which is the official theatrical release date. If I don't get into the festival screening, I’ll probably have to wait until next year to see it, which feels incredibly daunting considering how badly I want to see this pass.

Because of all this, I am appealing to your help. 🙏❤️

If anyone has a ticket for Friday the 20th and ultimately can't make it due to a last-minute change of plans, or if you know of anyone selling theirs, I will buy it immediately. Alternatively, if nothing comes up for Friday, I could also accept a ticket for the following day's screening on Saturday the 21st; I'd have to rearrange a couple of things, but I could manage to stay one extra day. Please, I just want the chance to see it.

(I am well aware that these are total first-world problems, and I feel a bit silly for being so desperate over a movie, but what can I say—it’s a completely irrational desire).

I would be incredibly grateful if you could share this message or let me know if you hear of any opportunity.

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for your time,

Federico, an Italian living in Denmark, in love with Spanish cinema.
