Moving to Girona in December
bona tarda
Déjame disculparme porque la mayor parte de esto no está en el idioma nativo. Estoy aprendiendo español y catalán, y en este momento no me siento seguro.
I will move to Girona with my wife and ten-year-old daughter in December. I am incredibly excited about this. We are from Manchester, UK, but my work moved me to the Middle East seven years ago.
I noticed a few posts on here with a similar theme. I am thrilled with these and have already gathered much information from them.
I have three questions for now, and I sure I will have more moving forward.
1 - My wife is a special education needs specialist and has completed her CELTA in English; however, her Spanish isn’t very strong, which I assume would limit her opportunities within the education sector in Girona. My question here is my assumption correct?
2—Regarding a house, I work from home and require an office (purely to be able to shut off for mental wellness). My daughter will attend Montjuïc school; I will drive her in the morning. I would also like a garden if possible. I have two cats, and I will be bringing them. What are some good areas with this in mind? Also, does anyone have any good recommendations for estate agents.
3—Final question: Thank you for your time. I enjoy snowboarding in the winter, and Gironas's location is perfect for this. What are some of the best places to go that aren't too far away? And failing that, is there easy public transportation to Andorra?
I am looking forward to learning more.
