Living in the Canaries
For anyone living on the islands or staying for months: NIE and town hall registration, the health card, buying property, digital nomads, wintering, the resident discount and online orders with IGIC.
The Canarian health card: how to get it and what it covers
The health card is the document that unlocks everything else: without it you may have the right, but you have no way of proving it, and in practice that complicates every appointment.

Most of the bad stories about buying here are not about price. They come from three things the listing does not show: what class of land it sits on, what the registry says, and whether that house can legally be let to tourists. All three can be checked before you sign anything.
NIE, registration certificate and padrón: the order nobody explains
The NIE is not a residence permit, and that confusion costs wasted trips to the office. What each document is, in what order, and where the bottleneck is.
