I live in alhaurin de a torre, it a lovely place to live, close to the beaches and tourist stuff, but not too close, near the mountains, spectacular sceney, but also near the airport, close to the luxury life of Marbella, but nowhere near as expensive. I would reccomend in 100%. Its a lovely, clean, modern town with all the facilities you could possibly need!

As for schools, depending on what age your son is, there are ample schools around, all with varying reputations - as in most places lol. If I can help with any advice just ask. Although my two go to an international school aqbout 10 miles away

My 13 yo son is called Jack and I have an 11 yo daughter, Ruby! At the moment they both attend a local international school - we will be keeping Jack there cos of his age and he's quite a sensitive kid who wants to be in an English environment. However, ruby is keen to go to a local school and we think we've found a good school in a place called "Torrealquiera" which is a village just outside of De La Torre, but how do you define "good" in a foriegn country???? We'll certainly report our progress with the state school - anyway, I'm rambling on a bit.

WVS are good, the proprietors have become friends of ours, a married couple who have four children all of school age (5yrs - 14yrs), so they know the "drill" about schools etc. In fact as agents they are so helpful with everything, from buying a car, arranging NIE/padrons, sorting out paperwork, translating, organising ADSL, talking to telefonica or anyone else on our behalf.... Most other agents we met over here just rent you a property and nothing more. So WVS are well worth a visit, maybe we could meet too!?
