We're thinking of moving to Madrid or Barcelona. We prefer Barcelona, but there seems to be a lot more work in Madrid, we'll see what happens.
Both of us are in the process of applying for a non-lucrative visa. We haven't actually submitted our application yet, which will take 3-5 months to be processed, because we're waiting on the FBI background check which takes 6 weeks.
It's quite the process to move to Spain but it'll be worth it!
I've approached lots of startups and nobody is really interested in remote employees. I'm starting to think I should try to approach big companies but that will probably be just as difficult to break into.
There do seem to be lots of local jobs in Barcelona and Madrid but I'd rather not wait a year to get a job.
