What do expats find most challenging?

Answer this Question

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Benidorm. They wrote...

"Expats in Benidorm often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not being fluent in Spanish can make everyday tasks like shopping or visiting the doctor more difficult. The Spanish lifestyle, which includes late-night dinners and siestas in the afternoon, can also be a challenge for expats who are used to a different routine. Additionally, some expats may struggle with the slower pace of life in Benidorm, as things often take longer to get done compared to what they may be used to in their home countries. The bureaucracy in Spain can also be a challenge, as dealing with paperwork and official procedures can be complex and time-consuming. Lastly, while Benidorm is a popular tourist destination, some expats may find it difficult to integrate into the local community and make Spanish friends, particularly outside of the tourist season," remarked another expat who made the move to Benidorm, Spain.
