Spanish law, explained in English, for residents and property owners across Alicante province.
Who we are
Santamaría Baeza Abogados is an Alicante law firm. Every lawyer here is registered with the Ilustre Colegio de Abogados de Alicante with a public bar number you can verify — worth checking before you instruct anyone in Spain.

Three deadlines worth knowing now
Spanish limitation periods are shorter than most people expect, and missing one is usually fatal to the claim.
| Matter | Deadline |
|---|---|
| Inheritance tax return | 6 months from date of death |
| Road accident claim | 1 year (restarts on a formal insurer offer) |
| Unfair dismissal | 20 working days |
