Why Distant Horizons?

Meet the team behind our expert legal, immigration, financial, property-related and lifestyle advice in Spain.

Moving abroad? Huge decision. And let’s be real—Spain sounds like paradise until you hit the paperwork. 

That’s where Dream Horizons comes in. We don’t just throw generic advice at you. We dig into real numbers, real legal updates, and real stories from British expats who’ve already done it. 

Because here’s the thing—Google won’t tell you what it actually feels like to deal with Spanish bureaucracy. We will. 

What makes us different? 

✅ No fluff, just expert-backed information 
Visas, tax rules, mortgage laws—we keep up with the latest changes so you don’t have to. Brexit made things complicated? We break it down. Wondering about tax obligations as a UK pensioner in Spain? We’ve got the numbers and the loopholes. Every legal tip we give comes from verified sources, not guesswork. 

✅ Step-by-step, no-headache guides 
Spain loves paperwork. We make it painless. 

  • NIE registration? Here’s how to get it without running in circles. 
  • Health insurance? Here’s what actually works for expats. 
  • Bank accounts? Here’s how to avoid the ridiculous fees banks never warn you about. 

No legal jargon, no confusion—just clear, actionable steps. 

✅ What does it really cost to live in Spain? 
You’ve seen the dreamy Instagram photos. But what does life actually cost? 

We break down: 

  • UK vs. Spain cost-of-living comparisons (bills, rent, groceries—everything). 
  • Where to get the most for your money—whether you want budget-friendly beach towns or high-end Mediterranean living. 
  • Hidden costs no one tells you about (spoiler: Spain has random fees that’ll catch you off guard if you’re not prepared). 

✅ Real stories, real people 
Moving abroad is more than paperwork. It’s a whole new life. 

We talk to British expats already living in Spain—the wins, the struggles, the unexpected culture shocks. We host Q&As, expat interviews, and forum discussions so you get the truth, not just the Pinterest version.
