Spain Expat's list of links to other expatriate- related sites, both general and spain oriented.

For a well-summarized and up-to-date list of general expat links, Expat Expert’s links (http://www.expatexpert.com/links) can’t be beat. The following are the best of the expat sites, most with sections on Spain. If you post questions to the message boards on these sites, they’re likely to go unanswered. Your best bet is the message boards here at Spain Expat Forums. Escape Artist (http://www.escapefromamerica.com) is an immense maze of links (though many are dead). Or go directly to the Spain section here (http://www.escapeartist.com/spain/spain.htm). Escape Artist’s focus is on tax havens. (Laos wouldn’t have been a good choice for Luis Roldán.). Expatica is a fairly well known online expat hotpost with up to date features and a nice design.

i spoke to expat a while ago about setting up a recording studio in the costas
i wondered if anyone had any advice about planning permission for a building and leasing a property to sound proof.
also as you have guessed we are musicians and we are also considering setting up a cover band or even a fleetwood mac tribute band(my wife sings exactly like stevie nicks believe me and i am a drummer) to earn a little extra cash,can anyone tell me who i would speak to or sites and newspapers with classifieds i can check out to find other musicians and possible venues to play at.
we have our house up for sale and are determined to start again in spain.
we spent a week in fuengirola in march trying to check things out and i am sure i want to make the move though!my wife is not so sure.
