You need to ask the questions to people who have moved to Spain for the same reasons you are wanting to move here. There is no doubt that Spain will ultimately achieve a better lifestyle for you & your children.... take your time .... you need to feel confident that all your questions have been answered especially conecrning your children.
Location? I live in Almeria, I chose here due to the all year round climate and what this would mean to me and my children. We truly have the luxury of all year óutdoor´living, long sunny days even during the winter! great for Kids!
This province boasts an amazing coastline and is true Andalucia .....lets says REAL SPAIN! The children have many spanish & english friends, fluent in both languages and are happily growing up. I am happy that they can still play in the streets and can still enjoy their childhood! The schooling is great and I follow their education with enthusiasm. I am one of those paranoid Mums and like you want the best for my childrens future.... thats why I am here!
Take a look at this coastline, let me know what your ideal ´wish list ´is ? This then helps as you can start defining the location etc If you have any concerns please ask, I work, live and travel frequently through Spain and I came here as a single MUM..... I have first hand experience!
Good luck!

hi there jacs, thanks for your comment.... i admire the fact you went over as a single mother. that i think is just excellent. i know it is a hard thing to do. you know you just dont wanna do it and it could be bad for the kids or hamper their learning. i have ordered the spanish learning from the bbc muzzy so this should help them and also me!! i have also been trying to learn the language as well.
I read that children start school aged school in spain.. dont know if i am right thinking this? i suppose i am just scared for my childrens sake. My twins are due to start primary next year so if we do take the plunge it would be by next august.
my wish list would be to stay somewhere not too quiet and not too busy, nice climate anything is better that scotland in the winter lol, would like there to be decent state schools, nice safe place for my children to grow up in. I suppose i am scared as well incase i dont meet new people and make friends!? xx
