Bonsoir MR ORADOU,
je me permets de vous repondre dans la mesure ou je suis proprietaire de deux maisons en Andalousie que je souhaite vendre : Elle se situent dans la cour d'un ancien couvent du 16 e sciecle (qui a disparue aujour dhui mais dont il reste quelque remparts a l heure actuelle.
Elles sont dans la toute petite ville d ' Alcaudete tres pitorresque sur la route du Calif entre Grenade et Cordoue (60 km environ de Grenade et 100km de Cordoue) Tres bien desservie par les axes routiers:Les maisons sont centrales mais tres intimes car situees dans un cour interieure sans aucun bruit de voiture.Alcaudete on trouve tous types de magasins très pitorresques et ressemble plutot à un gros village:
Les deux maisons sont mitoyennes : Une a été restaurée en partie nouveaux sols, nouvelle salle de bain, poutres apparentes il reste quelque finitions a faire il y a 3 chambres un salon cuisine, 1 salle de bain et une terrasse avec une vue incroyable sur le chateau arabe et l 'autre maison qui peut permettre d'agrandir la premiere maison ou possibilite de creer un jardin potager selon le projet.
je vends les deux maisons pour seulement 55ooo euros car je vis actuellement à Alcala la real (ville a 25 km d alcaudete ou je travaille)
Pour votre information on peut vivre ici tres tres bien pour moins de 1000 euros par mois.
La vie ici a augmenter mais rien avoir avec les pays voisins car cela reste vraiment tres abordable et agreable.
Bons sinon je peux vous aider et repondre a vos questions si vous en avez.
Sinon je suis francaise d'origine et maman de deux petites filles et je vis en Andalousie depuis plus de 5 ans maintenant et je dois que j'apprecie de part les rythmes de vie et l'accueil des espagnols, l'Andalousie tres agreable....
A tres bientot je l 'espere
Cordialement
Delphine THEVENON

Bonjour Delphine,
Nous sommes toujours dans l'attente d'une vente, mais avons espoir , car le systeme finanacier et economique semble plus dinamique.Je voudrais savoir si vos maisons sont toujours a la vente? En esperant pouvoir vous rendre visite des que cela sera possible. Bon Ete a vous.
Cordialement.

Bonjour GUY,
Je suis actuellement en vacances en France jusqu' au 30 Juillet je reviens en Espagne début Aout. Il y avait quelqu'un interessé pour la maison mais il n'a pas eut l'argent de sa banque donc pour l'instant elles sont toujours en vente et tant que je suis en France elles ne peuvent pas être vendus;
Mais il est évident qu'il serait intéressant pour vous d'envisager un voyage en Andalousie pour voir si la région vous plait déjà et puis si les maisons correspondent à votre projet.
Nous restons en contact et je vous informe si jamais il y a du nouveau;
Si vous envisager de venir faite le moi savoir car je peux vous aider à trouver l'hébergement ici en Andalousie.
Je vous souhaite un très bel été et à très bientôt
Delphine

Cordialement. Guy.

salut je me permet une petite incursion .. un coin d'andalouse qui est encore pas cher est entre almeria .. et granada .. par exemple autour de guadix .. avantages pas mal de maisons a restaurer .. plus ou moins 1 h de la plage ( pas de chaleur intense en été .. ) et possibilités d'aller skier en hiver .. puis l'enchantement de granada !!
dans le coin vous pouvez également acheter pour une bouchée de pain une maison troglodyte .. et en faire de la location ..
condition dans le coin .. parler un minimum d'espagnol .. la contre partie est les prix correct ..

Bonjour.
Je viens de tomber sur votre message vieux de 4 ans qui peut-être n'a plus court, mais cela fait plaisir de trouver une voisine qui s'intéresse également à l'Espagne. Je suis originaire de Valence (Drôme) et connait très bien Hauterives. Je viens de m'inscrire sur ce forum car avec mon ami nous envisageons d'acquérir une villa avec piscine proche de la mer (plage à 300m max.)et ne savons pas trop vers quel région nous diriger à savoir que nous voulons beaucoup de soleil. J'ai oublié de vous préciser, nous sommes retraités et possédons un budget de 200.000 à 250.000 euros. Peut-être pourrez-vous nous aider dans notre choix et nous dire si à ce prix notre projet est réalisable. D'avance un grand merci et "hasta luego"

Merci Delphine pour votre message et votre N° de téléphone, il est possible que je me permette de vous appeler. Une petite question; je suis très surprise de constater que pratiquement toutes les fenêtres des maisons ont des barreaux, le pays est-il si peu sécurisé ? Au fait, mon prénom est Martine. Bonne journée. A bientôt.

bonsoir
pour les maisons avec les barreaux cela depend des regions. en andalousie vous avez des barreaux mais dans la region de Murcia il n y en a pas.Je ne sais pas bien pourquoi d'ailleurs. l'espagne est un des pays d'Europe ou l'on se sent en securité:les enfants jouent dans la rue le soir jusqu a minuit et il y a tres peu d'agressions dans la rue.C'est vraiment un pays ou il fait bon vivre. La nourriture est vraiment pas cher et le logement non plus.

Hi everyone,
My name is Deborah, I’m French. I’m married and have two children. I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in psychotraumatology, and I’m also pursuing medical studies.
For some time now, I’ve been seriously considering moving to the United States. My long-term goal is to practice medicine in the U.S., with a particular interest in forensic pathology. I know the journey is demanding (USMLE, residency, fellowship, etc.), but I’m ready to commit to several years of hard work.
For now, I’m focused on building this project thoughtfully. I want to improve my English, better understand the American system, and connect with people who’ve already gone through this process or are living in the U.S.
I have a few questions:
- Are there any doctors or international students here who’ve successfully matched into a U.S. residency? - When did you start preparing for the USMLE? - What advice would you give to someone still in medical school? - Which states would you recommend for a future career in forensic pathology, with a good quality of life and good schools for kids? - Is it better to do an observership or a research fellowship before applying for residency? - What are, in your opinion, the pitfalls to avoid when planning such a project?
Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to respond. I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share!

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻
Thanks so much for your help and advice! ☺️

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?
Thanks in advance for your replies!

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol

Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
