Congratulations on your move to Spain! I love hearing how different the day to day is there like the people not saying excuse me when they cut in front of you and things like their dinnertime, drinking patterns and bedtime routines. I love learning about different cultures & countries.

Don't use the dryer frequently because your energy bill can easily be 500 euros or higher your first month. Using the washing machine, the dishwasher and dryer daily will make you pay around a 1,000 to 2,000 euros monthly.

We went to Spain last year. We visited Barcelona, Sitges, Mallorca and Madrid and we fell in love with Madrid once we got off the train. I can’t wait for more of your Spain videos! You’ll figure out how to get around and all that and it definitely helps you speak Spanish already!

Hola! Nice to see you in Spain, all the best in the new adventure… and btw since you do groceries at Mercadona.. try the raviolis filled with parmesan and truffle and/or the butter squash they made.. the store branded, both are delicious!!!

I am Spanish. A cultural shock for me was when I travelled to Dublin (my first ever overseas trip) and people were constantly saying sorry, sorry for sneezing, sorry for walking too close to me, sorry for crossing the street, sorry for coughing, I was so overwhelmed 😂 Then I got used to it and I went back to Spain and I was apologising for everything and everyone was asking me what was wrong with me 😂 Just cultural differences!

The sound was good! No issues at all Ale!

Hola. En Mercadona venden unos tarros de tomate que son maravilla para hacerte el pan del desayuno en casa. Lo tuestas y despues pones tomate, aceite y sal y riquisimo. Estan en seccion frio ( donde ensaladas, guacamole, etc). Un super cambio de vida pero a mejor seguro. Bienvenidos.

Love seeing day to day life in Spain through your eyes. Haven’t lived there in ages, but it’s so interesting to see how life is there vs US. Glad to hear you got all your bags back! ❤

Envy! !!! You have a El Cortes Ingles ...within walking distance! I LOVE that store; everything there is definitely a tick upward in the costs €€€ but they HAVE everything! Ours in Coimbra, Portugal is a half hour away and it is only the grocery store, so I shop at Continente and Pingo Doce, as it is just myself. Spain is SO different than Portugal, the streets are flatter (Coimbra -- 3/4 of the city is uphill over cobblestones :-( and Spain's big cities just radiate so much more bustle, sophistication and "city vibe" than in Portugal. I would live in A Coruna in a heartbeat. However, VISA D7 (retirement) was easier to get in Portugal than Spain, so here I am and there you are! WE NEED A HOUSE TOUR!

Your nails look sooooo good queen. Loved this whole vlog filled w so many candid moments ❤ Spain looks beautiful I dream of visiting one day!

Hi Ale, what part of Spain did you move to?

I know Ale would probably address these things at some point but for those of you wondering. Spain is a first world country, very developed, I would dare to say, even more developed than the US in many aspects. Their public transportation is one of the best in the world. I did my masters in Salamanca and I go to Spain anywhere from 2-3 times a year. Their healthcare system is very good. I had to have a procedure done and I went to pay, I paid only about 680 from the original 1100 I was quoted because they government subsidized some of it even though I am not from there. I mean the 1100 was already like 5x less than what it would have cost me here in the States. I would live in Spain in a heartbeat if it weren’t for the salaries. Obviously not everything is perfect but it’s a great place to live.

People are so “chismosos” or should I say “cotillas” like they say in Spain. Everyone asking her about their finances. The only thing I really want to know and see is your commuting to work from Spain. I saw a couple of videos of a girl that’s based in Miami and lives in London and it can be quite stressful, hopefully it’s easier for you. Buena suerte!

Ale, you are glowing!! I love this new adventure! ✈️

I bet you miss Trader Joe’s

I would feel like I was on another planet. So brave of you to take off & taking buses etc. Did George's job transfer or what will he be doing. Are you in culture shock & what is your overall feeling so far.

I’m tickled pink I grew up with my wash/dryer in my kitchen so I didn’t know any different. I hear and see all the time now that most have theirs someplace else in the home

Hi ❤ what differences do you see between usa and Spain?😂

Wow! What an adjustment. Riding the bus. Guess I wouldn’t mind if it was just me but. You really are a trooper. You do what you need to do and you make it work. Seems your children are loving the adventure. I think it helps that you have family there and you speak the language. Yo go girl!

Love seeing your new home & all you’ve shown us - my son & grands have just landed in Madrid today for a few days. They’re on a 3 wk European vacation. I’ve watched your vids since Alex was a toddler… where has the time gone?! Enjoy your new home - we’ll enjoy watching over your shoulder❣️

Hi Ale, I'm in the USA. Also, a fellow FA. Can you give advice on starting the ball rolling to move to another country? I want to move to CA. for retirement. So, the visa process seems hard to me. I'm only months from retirement age. I just always wanted to live there, no relatives or disire to further education there.

I totally get you when you hold the door and people don’t even say thank you!

Did the airline find ur lost luggage yet?

Lovely to see you Ale 😊 So happy that your suitcases all turned up that was for sure a weight of your shoulders and one less worry 🙏. Nice to hear you’re😢 slowly settling in finding your way around 😜 oh yes a Bruschetta brood with the tomatoes, garlic very tasty 😋 . Thank you for taking us a long. It’s nice seeing where your now living 🥰 have a Good week take care 🥰

I loved this video. It was so interesting. Please do more videos of you adjusting to your new life in Spain

hi Ale, glad you are getting settled in Spain.

So glad you guys are doing well! Remember when or if things get hard to speak positive words in for your life! Sending lots of love and blessings on your adventure😊

Your microphone works well. No problems with that sound.

I just started re-watching you, I'm so excited to see your new adventures in Spain Videos!!

It's great seeing you getting "settled in" to your new home. I lived overseas for 10 years ago, and the experience is full of so many new sights, sounds, tastes and surprises. Enjoy it all, you are making memories that will last forever. Take care and God Bless you and your family. 🫂❤️🙏🕊

I don’t think you need to hold the microphone so close maybe clip it to your shirt. Love watching your videos ❤ and this new adventure.

I’m Colombian and I can say for a fact that is sooo true 😂

Thank you for sharing your day with us!! So glad you and the family are doing well! I look forward to these vlogs! Spain is one of my favorite places

I don’t known if I missed a video but I was wondering how you are make it work with your flight schedule? I wondering if move out of country would work also for me. I haven’t meet anyone doing an out of country move with this industry.

Do your kids speak Spanish?

How are you and your husband going to make a living there?

Wishing you and fam all the best in your new home.❤

Ale, you are looking so relaxed, and fitting into the European lifestyle seems to be doing wonders for you. The microphone sound is perfect, in my opinion. I'm so happy you got back all the missing bags. Thanks for showing us the Spanish way of life. I love these new vlogs. 😊

So are the working hours shifted back later since the meals are so late?

You have a lovely color! I love it! 🥰

Why did you move the spain to begin with

I miss this videos ❤

❤️😊cute

You should try local cafeterias for early breakfast, they open between 07 and 08 and offer a variaty of savoury and sweet stuff. In Spain locals get up pretty early

I think your sound with your microphone is fine. It's not a problem, so use it whenever. Im enjoying your videos and your apartment looks nice. Great, your 5 bags arrived. and were delivered.

Bienvenido a España 💛❤️

How are you doing on the time change and the weather

El Corte Ingles - means the English court. See if they have a supermarket in the basement. The football was probably the euros.

Ĵobs?

I hope you updated your address with KZfaq because they're gonna have to send you that 100K button soon !
