You want to move to Spain without expensive mistakes, wasted weekends in research rabbit holes, or constant second-guessing.
You’ve done the research, but it’s still unclear what applies to you and what to do first.
The issue is not a lack of information. It’s knowing which questions to ask, in the right order.
If that’s you, you’ve landed in the right place.
Hi, I'm James — Kiwi-turned-Madrileño.
I moved to Madrid in 2011 with my wife Yoly, and what started as "let's give Spain a go for a year or two" somehow turned into building a life here.
I started two businesses, raised a family, dealt with Spanish taxes, and eventually bought property.
So why am I the right person to help you figure this out?
I trained as a lawyer in New Zealand before switching careers entirely to direct TV commercials.
Turns out both skills come in handy when you're helping people cut through Spanish bureaucracy!
After moving to Spain myself, I learned the hard way how confusing the process can be.
Over time, friends started coming to me for advice, and I began to notice the same pattern: smart, capable people getting stuck.
Not because they lacked motivation — but because they had too much information and no way to tell what actually applied to them.
They weren't missing information. They were missing a framework.
That's why I built Spain Revealed.
One thing worth saying upfront: I'm not here to sell you on Spain.
No rose-tinted glasses, or pretending the bureaucracy doesn't exist. (Oh, it exists...)
Just an honest picture of what the move actually involves.
The goal is simple: help you figure out what's actually involved, so you can make a smart decision and move forward with confidence.
