This is our lifestyle fair for internationals and expatriates living and working in Spain. Mark it down in your calendar and visit us. Bring your family and friends for a fun day out. The "i am not a tourist" Fair features a kids room where you can leave your children in professional hands while you talk to exhibitors and enjoy the programme.
The "i am not a tourist" Fair will have a range of valuable resources from previous European fairs, but with extra attention given to community-related resources for the experienced expat. Those of you who already have your bearings in Spain can therefore enjoy as many of the features as the newcomers; including food and drink, entertainment, local clubs and workshops.
So even if you have lived in Spain for some time already, do come to our fair to discover what's going on in the rest of the expat community and learn more about your adopted country. Our fair is all about enriching your life abroad, whether you are new to the expat lifestyle or an experienced hand!
Regarding those practical necessities, for those new to Spain and in need of information, our fair will supply a selection of the best resources this country has to offer. The "i am not a tourist" Fair brings a broad range of companies and agencies who specialise in expatriate services together under one roof. From banks, investment firms and insurance companies to schools, local clubs and tax agencies, all have their place at our community fair. The stand holders are there to help you with house and job hunting, immigration and permits, staying long term, starting your own business, having fun and more.
Whether you've lived in Spain for 5 months, 5 years or even if you haven't yet made the move, you will surely find something of interest to you. The "i am not a tourist" Fair gives you access to the international community, be it through individuals, groups, clubs, or businesses. This one-day fair presents a wealth of information and resources to boost your life abroad. Tickets are free when ordered online.
