Moving a Big Family to Spain, Was It Worth It?

Moving to Spain is stressful enough when you're solo. Try doing it with a husband, mother, three kids, a baby, and the family pets. 🤯

The Reality of Moving a Family of 7

February 2026 Family Interview
Watch on YouTube

I sit down with Heather, who moved her family of 7 from the USA to Spain. This wasn't a suitcase-and-go situation; this was a military operation.

We're pulling back the curtain on what it actually takes to move a large family. We talk about the sheer volume of paperwork, the nightmare of logistics, and the one thing nobody talks about: The Cost.

Heather is brutally honest about the price tag (spoiler: it was a lot), the stress of flying with a baby and pets, and the moment the reality hit them. We answer the big question: Who had the breakdown? And now that the dust has settled, was it actually worth it?

In This Video, We Cover:

  • The Money: The real cost of flights, visas, and relocation for 7 people.
  • The Logistics: How do you organize visas for a family this size?
  • The Pets & Baby: Navigating travel with a newborn and animals.
  • Housing: Finding a home in Spain that fits a family of 7.
  • The Breakdown: The moment it all became too much (and who cracked first).
  • The Aftermath: How are the kids adjusting? Do they regret it?

If you have a large family and think moving abroad is "impossible," you need to watch this.
