The Spainfully Honest podcast is your friendly guide to moving to Spain, living in Spain, and actually feeling at home once you arrive. We talk openly about Spanish visas, paperwork, working in Spain, relationships, and everyday life in Spain. No hype, no horror stories for clicks, just real conversations, honest advice, and the things we wish we’d known earlier.
Hosted by two friends and long-term residents of Spain, Catherine and Paul, the podcast is based on their real experience of relocating to Spain, settling in, and building a life here.
In this episode of Spainfully Honest, we sat down with Margaret from Camino Collab, who helps people make the move to Europe, mostly Spain, and is based in Barcelona.
We talk about what life in Barcelona is actually like once you’re living there, not just the holiday version. Margaret shares her own experience of living and working there, and what she sees from helping others make the move.
We get into the importance of Catalan, especially when it comes to choosing schools for your kids, and why it’s something you really need to think about early on if you’re planning a move here.
We also go through some of the different neighbourhoods in Barcelona and what they’re actually like to live in, how to start integrating properly, and what tends to make a big difference when you’re settling into a new country.
Margaret also shares some really practical tips and honest advice for anyone thinking about moving to Spain, the kind of things you only really learn once you’re here.
A really open conversation about life in Barcelona, what it’s really like behind the scenes, and how to make the move a bit smoother.
