Hi acpc200,

We have just moved from La Nucia to Ireland due to my work, there are plenty of places to rent in Altea/Albir but the rents seem cheaper in La Nucia

Hi, I taught for a while in an international school but had to return due to falling numbers. I have an interview with the same school you are going to in a week's time. So it will be interesting to see what happens.

Rents are about 500-800E roughly and depends on what you are looking for in accommodation, you will need to get your residency, open a bank account, get your NIE and your padron. You can pay someone to get that for you but you are best getting them yourself.

Yeah, I suppose stranger things have happened. I taught for a year in Spain and I really enjoyed it. There's just something so positive about getting up to the sunshine every day makes the journey to work that little more pleasant. I had minus 15C this winter and snow and ice for at least 5 weeks. So I know what cold is.

So, here's hoping!

So did you get the job? Maybe we can meet up. I have been here for a couple of months now. Thanks for the other messages too :)
