A good thing about Spain is that there are quite a few newspapers-both hard copy and online-to help expats find out what is going on in Spain. Many of these cover localised areas, so if you move to the Costa del Sol, say, you`ll be able to read about news affecting your area.

Look out too for free local newspapers which can often be picked up in cafes, shops, hairdressers etc which feature local news, events, places to dine out and more.
