Advise on moving to spain
Hi, I am just trying to gather up as much information as possible. Myself my partner and my 2 young boys have decided we are starting a new life in Spain. However at the moment I am just trying to find out as much as possible on education nurseries, schools and also just life in general. Please feel free to share any information thank you.

It all depends on our job and income really. If you already have that sorted out then life will be whatever you make of it. If you need to look for work then life may be very difficult
Schooling is very complicated as stated in the other thread

Schooling is the problem that is really stressing me!! We both have jobs to get us by till we find something better. So work and accommodation isn't really worrying me its only education that is scary!!!

Re: Advise on moving to spain
Unemployment is still at over 30% in the South of Spain. Even if you were fluent in Spanish and very well qualified, there would be very limited opportunities
As a British person your only real choices if you are not fluent in Spanish are teaching English or servicing holiday makers. Both are very poorly paid
If you are a professional with a special skill and fluent in Spanish then the best thing would be to secure a job with a Spanish company before you come over. The best places to do this are Madrid and Barcelona

You probably won´t be able to find anything better!
