Alicante Area
Hi all, have been following threads for a couple of weeks and found this to be the most informative forum about. We are looking to move to Spain sometime the first half of this year and are have our eye on the Alicante area, around Elche / Catral as we will be putting our 15yo into the British School of Alicante for his last year. Are there any of you living around this area or nearby that can share some info like long term lets, expats around the area, schooling for our 5yo etc. It seems that work is quite hard to come by, i'm a plumber by trade and was wondering if that market is saturated and would have to look at alternative employment. Any help would be much appriciated. Thanks

Working as aPlumber, expect to take a minimum of 2 years to establish your name as a tradesman self employed,(probably Black money during this time ). Spanish and English plumbers here are stuffing the prices up at the mo as there is plenty of building and reforms going on, so maybe there is a good opportunity if quality and pricing is right.
Drop me a PM when you hit the ground in Spain
