Hi we are the Green family and we are moving to Elda in June, very excited!! Wondering if there are any general need to knows, do's and dont' or must have's upon moving and getting settled. We would also like to know of any expats already in Elda that might have personal insight and knowledge and how they are finding life there.

Thanks very much.    :)

Welcome to the forum. Bear in mind that, as with Google search, any questions you have will probably have already been asked and answered, so learn how to use the search facility.

Also bear in mind that if you ask a question and someone answers it, it's only polite to acknowledge that, either by posting a reply and/or by clicking on the 'This is helpful' button.

For most of the bureaucratic and other procedures you'll need to get to grips with, have a look at the guides I've posted:

Welcome to the Greens, I don't want to state the obvious but start with your Spanish language asap as it's difficult to communicate locally without this!!!

Hi , We live in Petrer ,. Warrens is bang on ! You NEED to learn Spanish ,as there are not many people in Elda /Petrer who speak English. 

Go onto you tube ,I find Spanish with Paul , very good , . He gives you everyday Spanish which you can use , a lot of others tell you you have “blue socks , she has blue socks , he has blue ...etc . 

Welcome to Spain , 

You will find The people here are brilliant , morals , scruples and very family oriented great place to live , but es muy importante aprender español. Use google translate , it can be voice or written or even hand written , very useful 

Cheers 

Allan
