Moving to Spain sounds like a romantic adventure. But anyone who actually takes the leap soon discovers that it also means leaving your familiar life behind, finding yourself lost in a forest of paperwork and regulations, and regularly wondering whether you have made the right decision. In Altibajos , I take you along on our adventure in the south of Catalonia. A story full of highs and lows, sometimes almost unbelievable, yet entirely true. In between the experiences, you will find practical tips and insights that may help if you ever decide to pack your bags and follow the Catalan sun yourself. So it is not only a story to read with a smile, but also a guide in the form of a story that shows that emigrating does not have to be perfect to be worthwhile.
