Hi there, and good luck with your move.

I can recommend Banc Sabadell, English speakers in most branches, and a fantastic App in Spanish or English.

I can also recommend my own abogado close by in Albir.

Both Orlando and his assistant Maria speak English. A small practice with low overheads and reasonable charges. Plenty on street parking around the office.

For rental I recommend PMR in Alfaz de Pi beside Altea https://www.pmrspain.com/en

They are an efficient rental agency (English speaking) and can also help with translation services etc.

We've used them for years.

For a local bank I like Sabadell. There is a big branch in town and several of their own cashpoints. However I also use Transferwise and their Borderless account which is all done online. As a US citizen you will find it really easy to move money back and forward at extremely good rates and with very low transaction costs. I live in the UK but my wife is from the USA so we are constantly using Sterling/USD/Euro. You get accounts in several currencies available that you can pay and receive money in multiple currencies. Go online and there is a video about the Transferwise Borderless account. I didn't really do online stuff and my son told me about this but its so easy and so cheap. The only thing I don't like is that if you draw cash using the debit card its expensive so I just do big transfers to my Sabadell account and then draw cash from that. 

Hope this helps.

Alan
