Hi Richard
Whilst I agree with some of your comments I am a little upset at your generalisation of Aspe, but respect your opinion of course.
I live beyond Aspe in a tiny little Spanish village and it is lovely. Back end of beyond it isn't, out of the way it is! Personally, I did not like Crevillente, perhaps I only saw the built-up/industrial side of the area?
I found that moving away from the coast I can get more value for my money and I am further away from the 2€ breakfasts and the likes of Horrorvieja (which actually has a lovely promenade - sea view side!) I also wanted to live in Spain, not Little Britain!
ALL that said, looking at the age of the OP's children, the 10yo will struggle being thrown in to complete Spanish, or as Richard rightly points out Valencian. As for the other two, they will not know any difference and will simply become multilingual. My daughter is tri-lingual. Arrived when she was 2.5yo and picked it up in no time.
So back to the OP's point. I have heard of Brits moving to Aspe as it is a halfway house and provides most needs. I can personally recommend that you contact Lydia at Carousel Homes (http://carouselhomesspain.com/) who operates in that very area. She will offer you friendly advice and location information, such as schools etc.
Hope it helps
