Pardon, but what is a Padron, do I need one as a non-EU national and where do I get one?

A Pardon, formally known as a Empadronamiento,  is a town hall registration. It basically is a process that tells Big Brother, I am living in this area. Though, it also helps with a lot of legal processes - like registering your student for state Spanish schools and for making sure you can import your household itemd duty-free from abroad. 

The registration process is simple, and you can find more information through the Expat Arrivals "Getting an Empadronamiento" article.
