Removals from Edmonton to Spain
Spain is the long haul south — through France, over the border at La Jonquera and onto the Spanish motorways. We’ve run it from Edmonton plenty of times.
A move to Spain from Edmonton is a bigger undertaking than France, but it follows the same first steps: we load in N9 or N18, cross the Channel, then keep driving south through France to the Spanish frontier. From there it’s the AP-7 down the coast or inland to Madrid.
Because of the distance, Spain often makes sense as a consolidated load — your goods share the lorry with other Spain-bound moves, timed around your delivery. For a full household going direct, we’ll price that too.
What we move to Spain
- Full households heading for a permanent move to the coast or inland Spain
- Consolidated part-loads that share lorry space to keep a long move sensible
- Retirement and second-home moves, from a whole house to a few key rooms
- The tricky extras — outdoor furniture, tools, bikes and the odd surfboard
Where in Spain
- Madrid & the centre Inland, off the coast road — a direct run for a full load once past the border.
- Barcelona & Catalonia The first major stop over the frontier; well served by the AP-7.
- Valencia & the east coast A steady favourite for families leaving North London for the sun.
- Costa del Sol & Málaga The far south — usually the last drop on a consolidated southbound run.
- Alicante & the Costa Blanca One of the most-moved-to stretches for UK households, and a route we know well.
The route from Edmonton to Spain
Spain is the longest of our four routes. The load travels roughly like this:
- 1
Load in Edmonton
Wrapped and inventoried at the door in N9 or N18, with access planned in advance.
- 2
North Circular → M20 → Channel
The same first leg as any European move — A406, M25, M20, then Dover or the tunnel.
- 3
Through France
The long drive south down the French autoroutes towards the Pyrenees.
- 4
Border at La Jonquera
Over the Spanish frontier on the Mediterranean side, where the customs entry is presented.
- 5
Spanish motorways to the door
The AP-7 down the coast, or inland to Madrid, then unload and reassemble at the property.
Customs & paperwork
A move to Spain needs a customs entry and, in most cases, proof that you’re relocating your home rather than importing goods for sale.
We prepare the inventory and the paperwork, and tell you which residence documents you’ll need on the Spanish side.
The transit and border side is ours to manage — you shouldn’t be standing at La Jonquera worrying about forms.
Why people make this move
- The climate and cost of living still pull North London families and retirees south every year.
- Whether it’s the Costa Blanca or a flat in central Madrid, the route is one we run regularly.
- A consolidated load keeps a long-distance Spanish move within reach for smaller households.
Downsizing from an Edmonton house to an apartment near Alicante meant we only took half of it. They worked out a shared load, wrapped the furniture properly and kept us posted the whole way down. No drama at the border either.
Moving to Spain — your questions
Is a move to Spain cheaper as a shared load?
Usually, yes. Spain is far enough that sending a part-load — sharing the lorry with other Spain-bound moves — often makes more sense than a dedicated van for a small household. We’ll compare both once we know your volume and where in Spain you’re headed.
How do you handle customs for Spain after Brexit?
We prepare a full inventory and the customs entry so your belongings travel as personal effects. You’ll need to show you’re moving your home to Spain rather than importing goods; we tell you which residence papers to have ready and we manage the border and transit side.
Do you cover the Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol?
Yes — Alicante, the Costa Blanca and the Costa del Sol around Málaga are among the routes we run most. They tend to be the final drops on a southbound consolidated load, timed around your delivery date.
Can you move just a few rooms rather than a whole house?
Absolutely. Plenty of Spain moves are a part-household — the furniture that matters and a set of boxes, rather than everything. We scope it to what you’re actually taking so you’re not paying for empty lorry space.
