Hi Lance,
I'm also an expat but live in Catalonia.
I'd recommend the Spanish speaking malifaux forum Doll's House (http://malifaux.forosactivos.net/) to try and find out what the local scene is like, I do warn you in advance that the biggest communities here are in Alicante, Madrid, Zaragoza and Barcelona (and from the way we're growing Girona should at some time be able to move into that list)
