Hi Graham

If you wish to put your kids into a Spanish school here you can just turn up and, if you don't speak Spanish, someone should speak English.

I have a 5 bed townhouse for rent near Fuengirola for 1000e pcm, 11 month renewable contract, 26 houses in community, big pool and lovely gardens. Large garage, attractive location etc. There are 2 good Spanish schools on the doorstep where my Spanish partner could help you with intros. Alternatively, I am a teacher at an International school where fees are around 7000e per child per year. If your children are of primary school age it is good if they are in the Spanish system, where they will quickly become fluent, however if they are in senior school it is difficult for them to adapt.

It is a good way of life out here and I wish you and your family luck.
