At last, some other people on here who really want to be in Catalunya. I dont see living in this area on a day to day basis as any more difficult than living somewhere like the UK. The problems we have also effect the Catalan nationals, for example many of my Catalan friends are also having problems getting cedula's and they live in apartments in the towns. They also frequently get broken into and robbed, and have just as many problems with the red tape of this country as us immigrants, and if you ask them they dont know the laws which affect them on a day to day basis either.

I recently spent 2 days in the UK, travelling from Birmingham to the North east and west. The roads were clogged up constantly, and were a breeding ground for cones. The shops did throw your shopping at you, normally without a bag, and the queues in banks, post offices etc were undiscribable, and dont get me started on the social behaviour I witnessed in the streets.
Please remember why you came here, before posting on here, it is a wonderful place to live and most local people are fantastic, and would do anything to help you.
