Hello

I'm hoping to move to Estepona late this year.  I will be bringing some of my furniture with me.  Are you able to bring light fitments with you. Just trying to decide on what / not to bring with me.

Any advise what to bring with me that you can't find in Spain.

Any advise would be helpful.

Denise

I brought lights and furniture and I really needn't have bothered. 

There are all sorts of goodies to be found in Spanish shops and Chinese emporiums. Just bring your absolute faves and have fun searching out new treasures.

It's not as easy as when part of EU, you need the correct customs paperwork and you might have to pay VAT on the value.
