We are a couple from germany but we´ve lived in spain before (6 months in tarragona while studying). We both speak sort of ok spanisch probably around B1 - B2 and we both loved our stay there, but we we´ve had a hard time getting into the catalan language.
Now we are planning to at least try again for maybe a year or two and see how we like it in the south. We are also visiting next year for 2 weeks, but I just wanted a few infos from ppl. actually living there.
We´ve been looking closer at Sanlúcar, Chipiona, El Puerto and Chiclana.
Curious about these four towns on the Cádiz coast and wanted to hear from people who actually live there or know them well.
Differences between the towns? Are they all pretty similar, or does one stand out as more touristy, more lively, more laid back etc.? What would you say sets them apart from each others?
How brutal does it get in July/August? If someone can compare it to tarragona/barcelona this would be helpful. On the Internet I´ve found that the weather is hotter in andalusia but less humid and more windy, this making it overall more tolerable, when compared to barcelona/tarragona, is this true?
How welcoming are people? I’ve heard Andalusians are quite welcoming is this true?
Also how hard is the andalusian dialect, I´ve heard it can be quite tricky even for native speakers.
How is living a little outside the city center?
And just overall anything you think is worth mentioning.
thanks a lot!
