About Paula

I moved to Spain myself — I know what it means to settle here.

I was born in Romania and came to Spain as a child, watching my parents build a life from scratch in a country that wasn't theirs. I know first-hand how confusing — and how stressful — that can feel. Spain is a wonderful place to live, and I think that experience is exactly what led me to this work. If you want to call Spain home too, I want to help you get there as smoothly as possible.

Since making that move myself, I've gone on to help many people do the same — and no two situations are alike. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach: before I recommend anything, I take the time to properly understand your circumstances — your family, your finances, and what you're actually trying to achieve.

A life built here, not just a career

I love living in Spain — it's home, and I'm raising my own family here. That's the drive behind the work: I wanted to make settling in as smooth and stress-free as I could for people going through what my own family went through.

Outside of work, I'm happiest exploring the region on foot or finding somewhere good to eat — ideally both in the same afternoon — and most weekends you'll find me at baby swim classes with my son.

Qualifications

I'm a law graduate (Universidad Internacional de La Rioja, UNIR), and I provide guidance and hands-on support across residency, property, immigration and tax matters. I'm currently registered with the Colegio de Administradores de Fincas, reflecting the community-management work I do. As my court-facing casework grows, I'll be registering as a practising abogada with the Colegio de Abogados.

Working across languages

I offer consultations in English, Spanish and Romanian, working across Almería, Murcia and Alicante since 2021.

Just send me a message and let's talk.

It could be your very first step to a new life in Spain — no forms to fill in, and no charge for the first conversation.
