If you're German, you can take advantage of the Schengen area, and take two months "holidays" in Marbella.
I don't get the "two months" bit.
I imagine Pascal was implying that I might really like Marbella once I checked it out? E.g. suggesting to just try it (tm). Maybe host ELS 2016 there? ;)
If you're any EU national then you can just come and live here. Which is what I did last summer when I started working for RavenPack. Not something I would have predicted, even a couple of months before it happened, but certainly not anything that I have regretted for an instant. It's been a dramatic change from living in sleepy old Cambridge, it's quite an adventure, and it's a really interesting job.
I'm sure the opportunity is as good as it gets and if I was having trouble finding (remote) work I imagine I would be more than thrilled to do the leap. But as it is now, I have family that depends on me in my home town, and remote job opportunities are good so far (even if its not writing Common Lisp *sadface*).
