General Expat Sites

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, then Madrid Man (http://www.madridman.com) or jeremy’s multimadrid (http://www.multimadrid.com). A recent addition to try: Lucy Peacock’s Spanish forum (http://spain.othercountries.com/forums/forums.asp), Escape Artist (http://www.escapefromamerica.com) An immense maze of links (though many are dead). Or go directly to the Spain section (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.)
