🌿 Who is Move to Cantabria?

Meet Grace Kiernan & Ríona Kelly — two Irish women who grew up just 30km apart but didn’t meet until they both moved to Cantabria, Northern Spain. ✨

After years of navigating life abroad, co-founding an English-speaking mums' community, and countless chats about the ups and downs of relocating, they created Move to Cantabria — a service born from lived experience and real need.

As the region sees a wave of new arrivals, Grace and Ríona recognised a common struggle: how hard it is to settle in when you’re off the usual expat track. From language barriers to bureaucratic hurdles, moving can be overwhelming. That’s where they come in.

💬 Move to Cantabria is more than relocation — it’s community, culture, and connection. With services like admin support, cultural orientation, and language classes, Grace and Ríona help you not just move, but truly belong.

They're here to guide you every step of the way — because settling in shouldn’t feel like a solo mission.
