Hello bramleylad
Also the same advice my cousin gave to me. (As in money wise...) He said to always say "your skint" so no one " try's it on!"
Say your renting even if you own.  He says there are sharks everywhere!!!!
He even used to run up bar tabs so people thought had was struggling that week!

Lol,thanks all for,p great advise. We are really excited about the move but are no way deluded about it. We are saving every penny we have. We own our house here and will be renting it out when we move over so that will cover us aswell.  Trying to find info about the school is starting to become a nightmare! Does anyone have any experience with it? I'd love to send my eldest to a spanish school for the language but she is not the type who would adapt well to it that's for sure.

Hi Mapatt your already having a taste of Spanish red tape its endless. I don't know if you know but there are no free English schools in GA or surrounding areas  the Ga school is Spanish the English schools are all private and not cheap.

Morning gunner

Oh I almost had a heart attack when I contacted one of the English schools and they told me the price!! My understanding is the school in GA is mainly Spanish but does have a bit of English thrown in. As long is one person in the school can speak English I'll be happy. I k ow my daughter will pick it up quickly but I think having someone she can turn to if she gets confused will help Her confidence. Having my mum and dad already lived there for a few years they are pretty clued up with red tape things so that helps. Phew I'll need a holiday by the time we get there lol

Hi ,  I think you will enjoy the move as long as you don't think every day is a holiday.

We have had a place there for 13 years on Novamar opp the school . We do mostly winters and a few summer weeks but retain a bolthole back in the UK. 

The school will be fine for your children as we know Icelandic / Chinese / english and french people who have there children there .

The problem may be getting in as far as i know its full, but there maybe better news on the horizon as they have just approved an extension for the start of term August ,though it may be temporary cabins until a larger permanent school up the hill is built.  This is Spain so anything could happen.

Winter times are far more comfortable though you will find a lot of restaurants may close for part of it,  they deserve it .

Good Luck
