What should I pack when moving to Alicante?
We asked people living in Alicante to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Alicante, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for warm, Mediterranean weather, including lightweight clothing for the summer months and warmer layers for the cooler winter months. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes for exploring the city and surrounding areas. You should also pack your personal toiletries, prescription medications, and any other personal care items you use daily. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, bring an extra pair along with your prescription. Remember to bring all necessary travel documents, such as your passport, visa, driver's license, and any other identification. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents in case they get lost or stolen. If you plan on cooking at home, you might want to pack some of your favorite non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find in Spain. Pack your electronics, such as your laptop, phone, and chargers. If your devices aren't compatible with the voltage in Spain, you'll need to bring a voltage converter. Bring any academic or work-related materials you'll need, such as textbooks or important documents. Lastly, pack items that will help make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small keepsakes, or your favorite books," explained one expat living in Alicante, Spain.
