Ok I am a grandchild of a spanish citzen. I know legislation was passed on Jan 9, 2003. This legislation permits children of spanish citizens to immediately become citizens (Even Castro could), and for me as a grandchild to become a spanish citizen after a year of residency.

I am having a horrible time dealing with my consulado to get information about visa issues and what actually constitutes residency. I have family in Madrid I could live with, I would like to study and work on my langugae and grammar (spoke spanish with abuela but it is not great and while I can read, I cant write). There is also the chance of me attentding a graduate studies program in the EU shortly.

Does anyone have any information, links, tips, ideas- anything I really would like to try and figure some of this out ASAP

Thanks for everything in advance!
