What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Tarragona often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English and the locals primarily communicate in Catalan and Spanish. The Spanish siesta, a long afternoon break, can also be a challenge for expats who are used to a different work schedule. Additionally, the Spanish dining schedule, with late lunches and dinners, can be difficult to adjust to. Some expats may also find it challenging to integrate into the local community, as Spaniards tend to have close-knit family and friend groups. Lastly, navigating the Spanish bureaucracy can be a daunting task for many expats, as it often involves a lot of paperwork and can be quite time-consuming," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Tarragona, Spain.
