My girlfriend and I are planning on moving to Spain within the next 2-3 years.  We want to be fully prepared and have things go as smoothly as possible.  My friend is a Pharmacist and is worried about pay-cut and lifestyle change.  I am a photographer and fluent in German. Does anyone have any helpful information about either of these to scenarios? 

Thank you!

Get jobs and be fluent in Spanish before you arrive.

Preferable travel and live in Spain for a period of time before you decide on a location to settle, Spain has very different regions.
