Hello, 

        My name is Helen. I'm hoping to move to the Costa Blanca with my family over the summer. I would love to hear from anyone who has recently moved to Spain with a family.

Hi Helen, Mandy and I have just signed for our dream villa near Pinoso about 45 mins from Benidorm. We are just back from Spain and packing everything up before driving over with our little dog, Jet at the end of June. Mandy's daughter aged 15 will be joining us after summer holidays in August. Eilish will home school using Oxford Home Learning courses and on-line tutors to complete here studies for her exams next year. Our purchase experience has been fantastic with lots of help from our agent and others.

Good luck with your move. Regards Paul and Mandy

Thanks for your reply. Our children are 8 and 11 so we are looking to send them to British Internatonal schools. We are going to visit 3 over May half term. I hope you settle in well. We are all excited about a new life. We are hoping to rent to begin with to make sure it's what we want.

Hi Helen, my wife and I moved here in December with our 2 daughters aged 11 and 9. They attend El Limonar international school in Villamartín and have settled in really well.  We are currently in our second rental property, the first wasn’t very nice, and are taking our time before buying to ensure we all settle and pick the right location. The weather is fantastic, most of the people we’ve met are really friendly and helpful. 

I’m sure you will all love it!

We are excited about it all!

Do you and the children like their school?  We are coming over to visit schools at the end if May. Wondering whether to put it in our list?

Thanks
