MYRA AZZOPARDI "Founder"

(Estepona Office and consultant for Spain and the Canary Islands)
Fully bilingual - English / Spanish

In 1995 Myra was asked to set out a list detailing the type of problems that the non Spanish community and visitors were experiencing whilst visiting and living in Spain.

Assisting a group of interested people, the first office for foreigners was eventually set up in Estepona by the then  newly elected Government.  As a result of this, Myra became very involved in helping people with little or no knowledge of the Spanish language. Demand for a more extensive service, concluded in Myra setting up the Costa Advice Bureau.

Today, more than ever, the non Spanish residents and visitors need advice and assistance. Included are a wide range of services which they can now find at The Costa Advice Bureau.

Myra also has a regular and informative column in an English language newspaper so that the expatriate community can better understand the system and bureaucracy and the continually changing laws. Coupled with her mediation skills, this has meant that she has become a popular invitee to give talks to members of associations and groups of expatriates. Her seminars focus on current affairs.

The seminars include information on numerous topics that can affect the non Spanish communities who are working and living in Spain and those who are considering relocating. This service is provided at no cost.
