Its only my personal opinion, but depending on your childrens age, wouldn't it help them to adapt more if they were exposed to the Spanish language a lot? If they are younger then they will become bilingual very quickly which in itself will be a major skill to grow up with.
Wherever you choose along the costas in general you will find expat communities .... in some places it is like little Britain. Maybe consider going somewhere less British so you can get the best of both worlds? You really need to come over here and look at the areas though, because they vary so much and you may find yourself living in an area that you dont like. |
I have no idea or advice about schools in Spain , i was however posted to Germany where my wife and i (childless) lived in military accomodation where there were many German wives . the street language was German , when a new English speaking child was introduced to this environment , within a couple of weeks it was hard to decypher which was the English child , total immersion is for sure the best and easiest method for the child . When one moves to a foriegn country , it is the child that needs the most consideration so that he/she does not feel alienated , friends are the optimum requirement for a happy , contented child .
