Moving
Hi all, We are moving to Spain in December, and we are very confused as to where to move to....we looked at a Spanish village Almoradi, which looks lovely. But now I am thinking whether to move to an Urb such as La Marina to start with, mainly because of my 13 year old daughter, I think it might be best to move to somewhere where there will be more English children. I am so confused as to what to do for the best. I do want to mix with the Spanish and learn the language???? Is there a mix of nationalities in La Marina?
one last question, my partner will be travelling to England every weekend for work, what is the cheapest way to get to La Marina from Alicante airport?? how long does the journey take? sorry about all the questions?
Thanks in advance.
Hi - When we moved over to Spain, 12 years ago, we moved to the Country - Crevillente. It was lovely but too quiet for us, so we moved up here to La Marina urb. There are all Nationalities that live here and lots of families. We like it here because the urbanisation stays open all year (a lot of other places tend to close). It takes about 25 minutes from Alicante Airport to La Marina urb. Hope that helps a bit. Siesta time now !! Perhaps other people could post their views to help you. Bye for now x
I used to live in Almoradi, which is a Town, it has over 21,000 residents and only a small majority of them are British. It used to be about 1,700. There are good schools there but, If you can't speak Spanish, you have to take an interpretor if you go to the Doctors. Its quite a way to Alicante Airport along the AP7. From La Marina to Alicante is only about 25 mins in the car. You can catch a bus to Alicante from La Marina Village and then a bus to the airport. If you can drive, and have a car, you are much better picking your husband up and dropping him off. Hope this helps. Eve
Hi
We have lived in Spain for 8 years, our children were 4 and 8 when we moved they went straight inot a Spanish school with no other english children, it was hard for them at the time but now they speak good spanish and all of their friends are spanish.
We were going to move to la marina and went to look at the school, it was made of porta cabins and when I asked the teacher when a proper building was going to be built, she replied there were no plans to build one, also we did notice that the Enlish kids seemed to be sperate from the Spanish kids in the play ground.
It was a while back when we went so it may be worth you going to the school your self
We also have friends in the town of Sax who moved over with a 13 year old, he had problems with school and now is studying on line.
From what I have seen, the younger the child the easier it is to settle in and make new friends and learn the language.
Spanish Post
A few months ago I stood in a large queue to post cards to England. The lady in front of me put her post onto the counter. The gentleman started to weigh the post and stamp them, he picked up one envelope weighed it and stamped it, she asked him why it was more expensive than the other one's of the same size and weight, he answered- its a coloured envelope. Has anyone else come across this? Eve
I couldn't believe this Eve when you told me !!! How ridiculous. What does anybody else think ??
I believe this is correct in the Uk too, so always try to use white envelopes as they are cheaper than coloured ones.
Yes but you must admit the coloured ones are so much prettier. I always think I've done well when I've found a coloured envelope to go with the card !! x
Hi Karen,
There are quite a few expats living in Albetera. I have been several times and its a lovely Spanish town, which has several schools. You are obviously further inland than Almoradi and Daya Nueva, that means more distance to travel to the beaches and the bus service is not as good as Almoradi. You will most certainly require a car to get around. Hope this gives you a small insight into the town. Having said that the best way to check any area out is to spend some time there and then you can make an informed decision on whether its for your family or not.
