A note on the corridor.
Spain is our cheerfully chaotic corridor. The Costas, the Balearics, the inland villages of Andalucía — every region has its own rhythm and its own dance with the local NIE office. The eastern route via Lyon, Barcelona and Valencia is what we run weekly; the western Atlantic route serves the Costa de la Luz and inland Andalucía.
The padrón is the bit that surprises people. It's your registration with the local town hall, required within thirty days of moving in for healthcare and most utility connections. We don't apply it for you — that's your visit to the ayuntamiento — but we time delivery so you've got access to the property well before the deadline.
