UK → Huelva, Spain
We’re planning a real move to a rural finca near Gibraleón—and sharing the decisions, costs, complications and small wins as they happen.
The practical plan
This is about finding out what moving really takes: a suitable home, a workable visa, continued employment and a life that functions all year—not just in the sunshine.
The search
Our search centres on Gibraleón in Huelva province, reaching roughly 50 km into the surrounding countryside.
The paperwork
We’re working through Spain’s Digital Nomad Visa route, gathering evidence and testing every assumption before applying.
The day job
Continuing to work for a UK employer from Spain brings real questions about payroll, Social Security, tax and employer responsibilities.
The everyday reality
We’re looking beyond property listings to the details that make rural living comfortable, resilient and affordable.
Follow from the beginning
Property searches, visa preparation, employment options, healthcare, solar, costs and the eventual move. We’ll share what works, what changes and what we wish we’d known sooner.
