Save on International Money Transfers
Moving abroad means transferring money. Our partner Currencies Direct offers better exchange rates than most banks — saving you money on your move.
From your US home to Madrid, Barcelona or the sunny coast, GRC handles every detail of your move to Spain.
Spain's digital nomad visa is one of Europe's most attractive — allowing remote workers to live in Spain while working for non-Spanish companies. Apply before you move for the smoothest process.
Spain offers sunshine, incredible food, a laid-back lifestyle, and a lower cost of living than most of Western Europe. The pace of life is slower, the people are warm, and the culture is rich.
Spain has an excellent public healthcare system (SNS). As a legal resident, you're covered. Private insurance is affordable (€50–150/month) and popular for faster access.
Very affordable by Western European standards. Madrid and Barcelona are the most expensive, but still cheaper than London or Paris. Valencia, Málaga, and Seville offer excellent value.
High-speed AVE trains connect major cities quickly (Madrid to Barcelona in 2.5 hours). City metro systems are excellent in Madrid and Barcelona. Driving is easy outside cities.
Life revolves around family, food, and socializing. Lunch is the main meal (2–4 PM). Dinner is late (9–10 PM). Siestas are fading but the laid-back spirit remains. Fiestas and festivals abound.
Free public schools that follow the Spanish curriculum. International and bilingual schools available in major cities. Spanish universities are affordable and well-regarded in Europe.
Get your NIE (foreigner identification number) immediately — you need it for everything. Open a bank account (BBVA, Santander, CaixaBank). Register at your local town hall (empadronamiento).
Spain has some of the best weather in Europe — especially along the Mediterranean and southern coasts. The interior has hot summers and cold winters.
Spain's cities each have their own personality. Here are the neighborhoods where American expats feel most at home.
Upscale, elegant neighborhood with wide boulevards, designer shops, and excellent restaurants. Safe, central, and popular with professionals and families.
Modernist architecture (including Gaudí's buildings), wide streets, and a central location. Walkable, vibrant, and well-connected by metro.
Trendy, multicultural neighborhood with a thriving food scene. Valencia offers Mediterranean lifestyle at a fraction of Barcelona's cost.
Revitalized historic center with museums, tapas bars, and a growing tech scene. On the Costa del Sol with 300+ days of sunshine per year.
Atmospheric old quarter with narrow streets, orange trees, and flamenco. Seville is passionate, affordable, and steeped in culture.
The old town of Spain's culinary capital. World-class pintxos (tapas), stunning beaches, and a refined Basque culture. One of Europe's hidden gems.
Whether you're moving for work, family or a fresh start, GRC manages the logistics so you can focus on your new life in Spain.
Full-service packing, crating, and shipping of your personal belongings and furniture by ocean or air freight — door to door from the U.S. to Spain.
Household goods can enter Spain duty-free when transferring your residence. You'll need your NIE, a detailed inventory, and proof of your previous US address. Items must have been owned 6+ months.
Your shipment is delivered to your new Spanish address, with unpacking and furniture assembly services available on request.
GRC's concierge services help with the transition — from navigating local processes to settling into your new community. Concierge available in NY, NJ & CT with other locations case by case.
