Our local lawyer helps answer some of the most common questions we have as foreigners in Spain. This topic is going to cover the Holiday Rental Tourist License Andalucia! Keep in mind, that many municipalities are no longer going to issue NEW tourist licenses. They have stopped in the city of Granada and Malaga. Each municipality can make their decision.
If there is one thing we noticed immediately when we moved to Spain, it was the lack of screens on the windows and doors. It seems like a simple resolution to the problem of combating insects entering the home, but for some reason they just aren’t common. Yes, there are mosquitoes in Spain. That leaves us with searching for the best mosquito trap or mosquito repellent, as well as coming up with means to screen our windows and doors.
There are several public and private schools in Almuñécar. Covering infant through high school (grade pre k to 12).

There is so much confusion about residency in Spain. People often don’t understand if they are a Resident, Tax Resident, or Non-Tax Resident. This is especially true for those citizens within the EU who can travel and reside in the EU countries freely and sometimes for the Non-EU citizens too.
Large numbers of jellyfish (Medusas in Spanish) have been a problem from time to time in some Mediterranean beaches during recent years. They tend to arrive in large groups once or twice a season and you need to be prepared in case of a jellyfish sting. On popular beaches a red flag will fly if there are many jellyfish present.
