Expat in Spain warns of mistakes people make when moving there - 'you'll miss the best things!'

This is because it can cause expats to miss out on experiencing all the country has to offer.

On the YouTube account Casa Moreno, an expat explained there are a few "mistakes" expats commonly make when moving to Spain, and not travelling is one of these.

He explained: "Travel as much as you can. One of the best things about Spain is its diverse landscape.

"Even though the whole country is amazing, what you find in the north is completely different to what you're going to find in the south."

When living in Spain, it is worth making the most of being so close to different cities and regions.

The expat continued: "[There are] cities that feel completely different. They have unique food and a particular culture.

"The greatest advantage of this is that you can spend time exploring new places and not worry about the problems with travelling across borders that came with the pandemic of 2020."

Travel has become more difficult for Britons in recent years, so living in Spain is a great way to explore other areas more easily.

The expat added advice on the best ways to travel around Spain. He continued: "Our advice is to embark on short weekend trips and try to cover the whole territory."

He added that travelling to different parts of the country at different times will allow you to "find a whole different Spain".

This comes as another expat in Spain shared why calling people at a specific time is considered "rude".

They said making phone calls between the hours of 2pm and 5pm is considered impolite as this is when Spanish people will normally eat.

Locals may also have a siesta during these hours where they might be sleeping or resting.

The expat explained: "And if they don't have a nap, they have their resting time. So after they finish eating at 3pm, they might spend two hours lying on the sofa, watching TV or reading a book.

"And it's considered very rude to phone someone or try and make plans or try and do anything between these eating and resting hours."
