Escritura (setup company part 3)

The first day we went to the bank we also emailed the notary to tell we were going to make the deposit and ask if we could proceed with the next steps that Friday. She responded quickly and so did we. Hence we could answer al questions and setup a the needed documents before our Friday appointment.

One of the documents we had to send, were the estatutos. We already made them in Spanish together with ChatGTP. The first time we used it and it worked really nice. We asked for a default estatutos and it came with a document. Than article by article we asked for a translation and we adjusted or changed some what we wanted different. ChatGTP translated it back to Spanish when we were done. We also asked for some items which could be added and it came with a list of things. We added some of them, within an hour or so we had an official document in Spanish.

She also needed a name and DNI of an apoderado, which we didn't understand what that was, but she was going to explane on Friday. It turned out to be a third person that can do legal stuff for the company, that you are not allowed to do yourself: a gestor. A gestor seems to be something between a bookkeeper and an accountant. As there are gestors all over the place we decided to change from Burgos to a gestor in Briviesca, which was just across the street from the notary.

It also turned out to be very easy for tibi b.v. to buy the shares from Tibor. It will only be a signature at the notary that after tibi b.v. has a NIF. This could be done on the same day as when we buy the village and land.

We only needed to sign some forms and Ardbol Globo S.L. existed and has an NIF.

The first week of work

After the transaction we had time to think about what we could do in the village, as now we are the owners. The next option for us to go to Spain was in the autumn holidays. Earlier on we tried to combine it with Spanish classes for the kids, but we couldn’t arrange extra free time from school, so we had to stick to the one week of school vacation. We thought about starting at one of the houses which is in the relative good condition, like getting a door, so we could close it and store stuff there. But we had no electricity or tools as we had no space to keep stuff safe. So we were kind of stuck in a chicken and egg problem. To get out of this we set up a plan to get a container which we could lock. But that would not be there for this vacation. Then Maaike’s parents asked: “Would it be of any use if we were there with some tools to clear away the burrs, bushes and so on?” Of course that would be great! We were happy that they were enthusiastic and by itself there was a plan to do ...

Never alone in an abandoned village

One might expect that being in an abandoned village will be lonely. But a part from Carlos and all the people who we knew were going to visit us, everyday there were people visiting the village. let's start with the people we knew were going to visit us in order of appearance. Mirthe, Rick and Vos who came visiting with their camper to find out if they want to live in Bárcena and to help us some days. They are now in the process of preparing to move to Bárcena so it seems that the answer is yes! Maaike's Brother Teun, his wife Marieke and daughter Sarah , who were there for 2 weeks and took a lot of trips with the kids and cooked for us almost every day! But most important: they really liked being there, so hopefully they will come often when we live there. As an ultra runner Teun explored the area by running and cycling. For example he explored routes to Lences and found three different ones. Tibor's daughter Fiona , who helped a lot with ...
