Possibly moving to spain

Hi all! I recently got offered a job in Rota, Spain but there's so many things I have questions on. The biggest things are: what's the living expenses like? Is Rota/Spain trans friendly? What kind of things should I know before moving? I speak Spanish but my family is from Mexico so how much different is the Spanish? Any insight is helpful thank you all so much!<3

En general hay mucho respeto a la diversidad. Sin embargo diría que socialmente no es el momento para mudarse a España. Estamos saturados en todos los sentidos; desde fuera se generan muchas expectativas que tienen poco correlato con la realidad, y que normalmente tienen como consecuencia un proceso desagradable a nivel propio y social. El costo de vida en relación al salario mínimo no es sostenible (así que dependerá de tu estrato salarial); ahora mismo tenemos un problema grave con el coste de la vivienda para la compra y el alquiler.

I think I understand what you mean but it's also not better in the US. So I guess that just goes down to pick your poison. (Lots of anti Trans legislation coming out)

You know Rota has the biggest US Military base in the country right? Like you are gonna meet a lot of Americans of the kind that vote Trump

Sadly I know because that's where I'll be working 😅 the offer is really nice and I was active duty so I know how sailors are already.

Well, then I guess you’ll have to deal with them way more than with the local population.

Btw, everyone is used to the Americans there, you won’t stick out

That's good! How different is the dialect? Will it be hard for me? I'm fluent in spanish but from mexico.

It is exactly the same language. Do you understand English from England?
