Everything the forums argue about, sorted into the order you actually need it: residency, padrón, bank, healthcare, schools, tax and what a month really costs here. Written locally, in English, for the Axarquía specifically — not generic "moving to Spain" advice.
One-off price under €50 at launch. Waiting list gets the first chapters and the launch discount.
Every step in order — NIE or TIE, padrón, bank account, social security, tarjeta sanitaria, driving licence — with what to bring to each appointment and roughly how long each one takes.
Non-lucrative, digital nomad, EU registration and family routes side by side: income thresholds, documents, where the applications actually get processed, and the mistakes that cause rejections.
Real rent ranges by neighbourhood, what a long-let contract should say, deposits and agency fees, plus the buyer's costs (ITP, notary, lawyer) and the checks people skip.
Monthly budgets for a single person, a couple and a family of four — rent, community fees, IBI, electricity in August, water, internet, school extras and a car.
Public versus private, how to register at the Centro de Salud, what private cover costs by age, and where to go for emergencies.
Spanish state, semi-private (concertado) and international options within reach, term dates, enrolment windows and what settling in actually looks like for a non-Spanish-speaking child.
The 183-day rule, becoming resident for tax, Modelo 720, double taxation with the UK, and when you genuinely need a gestor.
Email templates in Spanish for landlords, utilities and the town hall, plus a printable appointment tracker and the official booking links.
torredelmar.club is written from Torre del Mar, and this site already covers the free version of much of it — the moving here guide, the local services directory and the property buyer's guide. The kit is the paid, organised, print-it-out version with templates and a checklist. No affiliate deals with lawyers, agents or relocation firms.
