Just think he means by lots of new members asking the same question, quite a lot of the stuff you've asked has already been answered many times. Have a browse around ;)

Large English areas I know of are Benidorm and Playa Flamenca.

Surely this forum is meant to help other people who are wanting up to date info on relocating. We were all there once!

I think anwhere with a Brit population around the Costas would be fine with your qualifications. A tradesman out here is always going to get work as long as they are on time, honest and skillful.

Schools can't help you with sorry.

Please have a look around the forum at other peoples views as your questions have been answered before. But do come back and ask specifics if you need to. Some people don't mean to be a bit short, jusn't haven't taken the HRT yet today! :rofl:
