Schooling and Living in Competa
Hello 
My partner and I are looking to move to Competa, with our two boys aged 2 and 3. I have been over recently looking to rent somewhere to start with....found the perfect house but with no oven....
I wanted to look into schools in Competa for my children, I was wondering if someone could help me with this? I cannot remember what the school is called to look into it!
Also, what are jobs like in Competa? English teaching at schools or graphic design...if anyone can help that would be great! My partner has a job, but I am not the stay at home type! If anyone can help introduce me into living in Competa that would be great!!
Thanks

As Concierge for the Spanish section of BE I would like to say hello and welcome.
BE is a very large expat website, so if you have problems finding your way around we have concierges who will try to direct you. The moderators for the Spanish forums are Mitzyboy and Fred James, moderators are there to ensure that the site runs smoothly within the rules of BE. Problems and complaints should always be addressed to a moderador who will look into the matter and deal with it efficiently and fairly. Our members who post in the Spain Forums are friendly and helpful with a wealth of knowledge of the issues of living in Spain. At the top of the page you will find a quirkily named thread called Free Beer which is full of important and useful information. Hope you enjoy your time participating in the forums.
Please let me know if you need any further help.

Re: Schooling and Living in Competa
perfect without an oven ??
you were lucky, many Spanish homes don't have a kitchen so you have to buy one and take it with you when you moved.
looked at Competa but considering the number of illegal properties and the crazy roads up there decided against
hope it goes well

Hi AliHall
Cómpeta is a tiny town, just a few thousand people. Given that unemployment is around 40% then I cant imagine that there would be any work at all, even if you spoke fluent Spanish
I dont know the name of the school, but I would be worried about sending my children to a school in the villages of Andalucia, they will have a whale of a time (as long as they pick up the language quickly and are boisterous and not shy) but the educational standards are not great, especially because there is not a culture of education is such villages. Still, given that they are so young then it could be great.
Beware of unfinished houses. Summers will be boiling and winters freezing
