...as we have been to Australia before and lived for a few years. we want to make a decision pretty soon and we are visiting over Easter, looking at schools etc. We have so many questions about living in Spain which we hope to answer when over there but was wondering if there was anyone who has maybe moved in the last 2 Years who could offer any advise and knowledge about life over in Spain. As this would be a big move we want to make sure we are as well informed as we can be and the experiences of people living there good or bad would be invaluable to help our decision. 

Thank you and most grateful for any advise and knowledge.

As for schools depending if you want private or local there is a multi lingual just 5 mins from us .... We have never regretted moving here and we love it ... be prepared for lots of paperwork the Spanish love their paperwork stamped in triplicate lol

Anyway welcome to Spain

I am just asking if you have any information about how to apply to the schools , we have a 9 year old and 5 year old and want them to go to a Spanish school . 

Do you know if you need a pardon/residenta to apply for schools . 

Good luck with your move .
