Spain Simplified
Cecilia Löwenhielm - Founder
Originally from Sweden, I have called the Costa del Sol home for over two decades. My journey in Spain has been defined by a deep love for this culture and a passion for helping others navigate it. Trilingual and academically trained in Spanish Philology and Psychology, I spent twenty years at the heart of the coast’s tourism and luxury sectors before founding SpainSimplified.
During my career in tourism—most recently as Sales Manager at one of the Costa del Sol’s premier golf clubs—I recognized a significant gap in the support available to international residents. I saw firsthand the challenges people face when trying to build a life here, and I created this company to bridge that gap.
I founded SpainSimplified to be the partner I wish everyone had when they moved here. My vision was to offer one-off consultations and translations as well as in-person accompaniment and membership-based support that goes far beyond basic administration. My goal isn’t just to handle your paperwork; it’s to provide a comprehensive support system that ensures language, culture, and bureaucracy never stand in the way of your Mediterranean dream.
Whether we are speaking in Swedish, English, French, or Spanish, I am here to ensure you feel supported, understood, and truly at home in Andalucía.
Sasha Nikitovic - Partner
With a heritage rooted in France and Serbia, I bring a truly international perspective to the SpainSimplified team. My journey has taken me from studying Tourism in France to the Berklee College of Music in Boston, but I have called Spain my home since 2009.
My professional life has always been centered on people. With over 30 years of experience in high-level customer service and corporate events—coupled with 15 years as a tour leader and organizer right here in Spain—I’ve developed an authentic, deep-rooted knowledge of this region. I don’t just know the map; I know the rhythm, the culture, and the hidden gems that make life here so vibrant.
As your partner on the Costa del Sol, I specialize in the “where to go” and “what to do.” My goal is to be your ultimate local resource, providing unparalleled guidance on everything from local attractions to the logistics of daily life.
I am dedicated to sharing the very best of Andalucía with you and ensuring your experience here is nothing short of exceptional.
Expert guidance. Local heart. Total peace of mind. Welcome to a simpler life in Spain.
“Living in Spain is a dream, but I’ve seen how quickly bureaucracy can turn that dream into frustration. I founded SpainSimplified to be more than an administrative guide; I wanted to create a lifeline for our community, ensuring that no matter the challenge, you always have a local ally standing by your side.”
