Re: Thinking of moving to spain and have some questions.

Thanks everyone - please be assured I am suitably cautious and thinking long and hard about the best way forward. I don't mind hearing about the pitfalls - its part of why I am here - just no...

Re: Thinking of moving to spain and have some questions.

I agree - I wish we had made the move years ago but we were not in the position financially, but I weigh it up against NOT doing it. I suppose it comes down to the kids themselves, mine are...

Re: Thinking of moving to spain and have some questions.

Please don't try and tell me what I will and will not be doing to my children, how dare you. I have never come across such arrogance. You do not know me or my children and therefore you cannot begin...

Re: Thinking of moving to spain and have some questions.

Thanks - as discussed previously we are aware of the ss - we never suggested waiting 2 years.

I know my kids and I have a more open view on what kids need and are capable of and I do not find...

Re: Thinking of moving to spain and have some questions.

As I have already said, I am looking for general info on where the most popular ex-pat areas are - what is confusing about this request? I would have though it common sense. If someone goes to the...

Re: Thinking of moving to spain and have some questions.

Re: Thinking of moving to spain and have some questions.
