Hi.

We are in the UK and are looking to move (this year) to the sort of Elche/aspe area, in fact we have seen a great house (to rent) on the internet, in Aspe, but before we bite the bullet and come and see it, does anyone live near or around Aspe and what is it like?

What are the (spanish) schools like in the area?

Are there any car boot sales around that sort of region?

....and also wheres the best place to look or post an online ad, (SNIP)

Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Welcome to the forum

Regarding an online ad, see the classified section on this forum .... there is a no advertising policy in the country forums

hi, thanks, yes i know about the "no ads" which is why i didnt post one!

So if i am looking to do a car swap, which forum should i post in, just so i dont make a mistake?

Mitzyboy

I live in Aspe and have done for 5 years now, my son goes to school here (what age/s are your kids??). If you want to PM me any questions then I can reply in detail later. Do you know where the house is? If you send me a link I can have a look and give you my views on it (from the perspective of someone already here).

Thats great, muchos gracias!

we have only spoken to the estate agent, not the owners as yet, and we are considering flying over soon to check it out, maybe have a plan B and check some others out too while we are there. My daughter is 8 and i guess she would go to the local school when we get there? Is it worth putting her in the normal school or one of the state subsidised private ones?

She is also completely mad about horses and goes riding here in UK. is there a horse riding place nearby? I guess thats a bit of an obscure question?!!!

Well the house we are interested in is this one

and as far as we can tell, the location is just outside the town but unsure where

....oh and...............

My wife and I work online (me selling paint) (long story), and my wife does ebay.

Youre obviously online in Aspe, so do you know if there is a wi-fi area there, or who to contact to get us online in the house, should we choose to rent it?

There is a telefonica line and a satelite dish, but thats all i know.
