Paperwork
Spanish administration is not difficult so much as strictly ordered, and almost nobody explains the order. You cannot register with social security without a NIE; you struggle to get a bank account without a padrón; the padrón wants an address you may not have yet. These guides lay out the sequence, what each office actually asks for as opposed to what the website lists, and the workarounds when a step will not budge.
