InsiderSpain connects international residents with the information and the professionals they need to live well in Spain. Here’s how InsiderSpain works — whether you’re planning a move, finding your feet, or you’re a professional who wants to be found by the people you can help.
How InsiderSpain works if you’re moving to Spain
The platform is built to take you from “where do I even start?” to a confident decision, in three steps.
- Start with a city — or the big picture. Browse our city guides to compare Valencia, Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and Bilbao on cost of living, housing, work and lifestyle. If you’re still weighing up the move itself, our complete guide to moving to Spain covers visas, residency, costs and healthcare in one place.
- Get the details right. Dive into Expert Advice for the decisions that make or break a move — visas and residency, taxes, buying and renting property, insurance, healthcare and schools. Each guide explains the jargon and is honest about the trade-offs, with the year clearly cited so you know it’s current.
- Find a professional you can trust. When general guidance isn’t enough, search the Insider Directory by city and industry and contact an Insider directly. No middlemen and no lead auctions — you reach out to the person who fits your situation.
Everything on InsiderSpain is free to read. We don’t gate our guides behind sign-ups, and we don’t sell your details.
How InsiderSpain works if you’re a professional
If you serve the international community in Spain, the platform helps the right clients find you.
- Apply to become an Insider. Tell us about your expertise and your track record via Become an Insider.
- Get reviewed. Our editorial team approves professionals with a genuine record of serving expats. We’re selective on purpose — the vetting is what makes a listing here worth more than an advert anywhere else.
- Get found, and build authority. Once approved, your profile appears in the directory, and you can publish authoritative articles under the relevant vertical to demonstrate your expertise to readers who need it.
How we keep it trustworthy
Two things set InsiderSpain apart from an open forum or a pay-to-list directory: every Insider is reviewed before being listed, and every article is held to our Writing Guidelines — useful, accurate, and written to help the reader first. You can read more about the brand and our standards on our About page.
