SpainMadeSimple.com was created in 2004 by Mark Eastwood, a journalist and entrepreneur who moved to the small town of Javea on the Costa Blanca in Spain.
Website owner Mark Eastwood is a qualified travel professional with a BTEC National Foundation Diploma (Business and Technology Education council) in Business/Travel and Tourism.
Originally known as CostaBlancaUncovered.com, we rebranded to the current name of Spain Made Simple to reflect the fact we have over 20 years expertise in the whole of Spain and not just the Costa Blanca, having lived, worked and helped many people successfully move to Spain.
As experts in Spain we can help you decide if you should also move to Spain. As relocation experts and travel agents we can help with a variety of services you may need in order to move to Spain full or part-time and we understand the pros and cons associated with each region.
Examples of how we can help you…

Our work and jobs section is massively popular in helping match job seekers to employers seeking to fill vacancies. We have many companies and recruitment agencies posting their jobs on our website.

How We Started – Our Story
Originally from the United Kingdom I moved to Spain in 2004 and as a result of a lack of useful information I decided to start the website costablancauncovered.com.
“When I moved to Spain myself with my family, I was shocked at how confusing it was. I needed a website just like Spain Made Simple where all the various important bits of information I needed was contained in one website making everything easy to understand. I started Spain Made Simple to help others like me also move to Spain, which I will be honest, is far from easy!” Mark Eastwood, owner of SpainMadeSimple.com
In 2012 I decided to rebrand this site to Spain Made Simple because I felt the name gave the impression all we covered was the Costa Blanca – that is definitely not the case!
We have helped thousands of visitors to our website get answers about Spain that they were searching for.
Many visitors have also kindly contrubuted to the useful content on our website by wriiting guest articles or they have answered other people’s questions in our comments sections.

Very useful site! We are starting to think about moving to Spain from London. One request though: Would it be possible that along with the articles, you include the date when they were originally posted. Otherwise, it is difficult to tell how relevant they are. For example, I was reading an interesting article on Costa Blanca, only to realize it was written 11 years ago! Thanks

I have just moved back to the uk and needed to bring my belongings back. I found Gary Faetz who did a wonderful job. My stuff was loaded into his van and he drove to the uk. I was kept up to date with his progress and my belongings arrived safely and quickly unloaded by this lovely man. I would recommend him and suggest that you contact him if you are considering moving to or from Spain. He can be contacted via Facebook.

Hi
I am looking for either a part time or full-time vacancy within an estate agency.
I am visiting Vera from 22nd November until 2nd December to find a property,
as I am looking at relocating in the New Year. I am experienced within the
letting industry, as I used to be an Operation Director for the
largest letting agent in UK. My role was to develop the office and
train all the staff. I am passionate about property and know I would be
a great asset to your team.
Kind regards

My own experience of yoga changed my lifestyle. I started practicing yoga in 2006 in order to manage stress and fell in love with yoga. I cured many of my chronic illness with the practice of yoga which led me to complete my two hundred hour training in 2012. I believe that everyone can practice yoga and find their way to healing and wellness. My yoga practice has sustained me through life’s upheavals and changes, giving me healing for my body, mind, and soul. It is with this spirit of healing that I approach each yoga class I teach. I want to give each student the tools in their practice to not only grow physically and emotionally, but to also learn a new level of respect for themselves.
