ABOUT

Moving East is our way of sharing the journey of our relocation from Devon to Denia, in eastern Spain.

From the initial thrill of researching properties to the ups and downs of viewings, and from the bureaucratic hurdles to the joy of finally finding our Spanish home, we’ll document it all.

Our hope is that our experiences will inspire and guide others who dream of making a similar move.
