Hi,
The area of spain we are looking at is coin costa del sol.
We have been several times and our friends live there? has anyone lived there and what do you think of it.

We are a family of 5 moving out 2 adults and three children ages 14, 13 and 4

I think a recent study showed that 30% of the population of Coin were British...but don't quote me on that.

Personally it's not for me but I suppose it only matters if YOU like it!!

We love it in Coin. We tried a few other areas first and were actually on the verge of moving back to the UK. There's a good mix of many nationalities here - English, Dutch, Moroccan, German and of course Spanish.

We avoid 'English' bars and restaurants though as a lot of English ppl seem to want to live in England but in Spain if you know what I mean. It always amazes me how much the English moan and complain about the Spanish - why move here?!

We look at it that we live in Spain and so we live like the locals and go where the locals go. That probably applies to most areas.
