Arriving in Spain. Thank you, Christine Giraud, for helping me settle into Granada. Christine helped me navigate banking, school enrolments, The NIE office and so much more. It would have been a nightmare without her.

We could not have done it without YYIS Christine has been an incredible support to us before, during and after our relocation to Granada. Her knowledge and expertise have proven invaluable as we navigated deciding on a school for our children, negotiating a lease on our rental, obtaining our resident permit and even buying our car! She has always been so patient and kind and we appreciate her optimism and outlook. We could not have made this big life changing move without her (or at least it would not have gone nearly so smooth).

Invaluable! Christine was a HUGE help to our family as we transitioned to Spain this fall, assisting us with school placement for our daughter, our apartment lease, our NIE application, and numerous other details like finding after school activities, helping with medical appointments, even getting us the right SIM cards for our phones. YourYearInSpain’s services are very reasonably priced, too — I wish we had discovered them earlier so we could have tapped Christine’s expertise when we were applying for our visas (instead of hiring the expensive immigration lawyer we used). She is knowledgeable, responsive, and a pleasure to work with….thank you Christine!

We couldn't have done it without her As others have said, Christine's help was invaluable. Besides handling the paperwork for our residency, finding a physician, and even suggesting cultural events, Christine helped us find an apartment, negotiated the lease (firmly but graciously) on our behalf, set up appointments, and even got us out of a tricky and mildly embarrassing banking situation. She is patient, warm, efficient, effective, and the voice of reason and calm.
