thanks for both replies. this is really something we have been thinking about and would really have liked to do. it is only recently that we have been thinking about it more. so are thinking about the planning and then obv all the other things that come with it.....

Dave, we dont mind the temp. would be happy if it is really warm or not. Would be good to be somewhere where is isnt freezing in the winnter but this wouldnt determine the reason for our move. we would like to be somewhere where there are some british but also Spanish. I would like my girls to appreciate the culture and there way of life and associate with spanish children. I have been thinking the canaries????

Steve, i never thought of that. They would prob start to play with the other english speaking children as it would be easier for them.. i would like them to go to a state school though. i had been looking at international schools but i think a state school would be better...
