Moving To Gibraltar

[orlando]

Hi,
can anyone give me advice on moving to Gibraltar as I?ve applied for a job there. Where will be the cheapest place to live and will there be plenty of work for my hubby? I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks.

Hi Orlando,
I'm with Britbull on the 'don't live in Gib' thing....BUT have to take issue on the La Linea comments.
Of course it isn't as 'pretty' as other places on the coast and 'Brit' bars/cafes offering 'full English breakfasts' are thin on the ground (a plus in my estimation) and of course very few of the 'locals' speak English--but a toilet it is not. It doesn't claim to be a holiday destination-it's a working town and doesn't rely on the tourist trade for it's survival--we're not inundated with burnt pink tourists (unless they come off a coach to go into Gib) and tacky shops selling the usual tourist tat.
I've lived here over six years and have seen a lot of changes take place, not all for the best-but good in the main.
My priority was integrating and making Spanish friends-something a lot of people fail to do, no matter where they move to. Like everywhere, it's what you make of it yourself.
It may not win prizes for 'most beautiful place in Spain', but it is home and I love it here
Many thanks
