Why Distant Horizons?

Distant Horizons was created to help British expats and prospective movers understand the realities of life in Spain.

Welcome to Distant Horizons

The site is written by Sarah Collins, who moved from the UK to Spain in 2018 and has spent years navigating Spanish residency, healthcare, banking, taxation and everyday life as an expat.

The aim is not to provide legal or financial advice. Instead, Distant Horizons combines personal experience, independent research and information from official sources to help readers better understand the processes involved in moving to and living in Spain.

While regulations and procedures can change, the goal remains the same: clear information, practical context and honest accounts of what the process is actually like.
