Ever wondered if you could really start a business in Spain as a foreigner?

In this episode of the Costa Property Podcast, Sandra chats with Kerry, co-founder of Nerja Coffee Roasters, who proves that chasing a dream abroad isn’t just possible - it can be life-changing.

After traveling across Spain in search of a great cup of coffee (and failing), Kerry and her husband Wes decided to do something bold. With no fixed plans, no perfect Spanish, and zero knowledge of how markets work in Spain, they launched a specialty coffee roastery that’s now winning awards and hearts across the Costa del Sol.

In this episode, they chat about:

• Why they chose Nerja after exploring all of Spain
• How the idea for their business was born
• The bureaucratic hurdles (and how they tackled them)
• What it really takes to set up a business in a new country
• Raising bilingual kids, integrating into Spanish culture, and choosing to go all in on the business
