If your are further up the coast towards Malaga there is an excellent fish and chip shop in Fuengirola called "Crispy Cod". Best fish and chips i have ever tasted! my kids absolutely love it there. They always insist on visiting when we are over. Again English owner who actually imports the potatoes from England to give that same taste. In fact i think they are better than any chips shops back home.

I too went to Peggotys once and it was something like 16 euros for fish and chips where at the Crispy Cod they start at 6 euros. Plus its in a nicer location being right on the sea front.  

You can find the Crispy Cod in front of Hotel Pirimedes and opposite a churringito called Gali Gali. This is at the castle end of the Paseo Maritimo.

Hi 
We are moving to Costa Del Sol in the next few weeks with our two children aged 14 and 9. Our eldest daughter needs some  work doing on her teeth which will involve braces being fitted, and then possibly some implants or bridges fitted. Does anyone know if treatment for this kind of work is either free or subsidised in Spain for children. If not is this kind of work expensive in Spain and can anyone reccomend any good orthodontist surgeries along the coast.

Thanks for your reassuring comments about your children settling in. Its made me feel a whole lot better about that side of things. By the sounds of it as well you feel you have made the right move going to Spain and with the schooling side of things. I dont normally get this worried about issues so all being well we will be out there next month. Spoke with BIC and the British College today, they both have spaces for September so no need to rush. We can enrol them when we are ready,even at the the start of term. If my eldest does still want to go to EIC i will have to do this by next week. So will give it lots of thought over the weekend.
If you have any other tips you can share with me i would be most grateful.

Frustarted Owner

Maybe we should give BIC another viewing then,even if its for our youngest. She has a more relaxed aptitude to the eldest,but still does well at school. 
You did the right thing letting the children have the final decission on the school,least then if they are happy that is half the battle. We have looked at a total of 6 schools and the eldest picked EIC, she got on really well with the staff there and spent almost 3 hours in discussions with the staff and pupils (she is very thorough for a 14 year old) and that is the school she chose out of the six we viewed, no influence from us. We did not tell her about any of the fees as we did not want that to influence her.

So do you think your children have done better in the schools in Spain than they would have if you stayed in the UK? or do you think they are about the same? 

Like most parents we just want to give them the best opportunities in life and dont want our decsion on moving to Spain be a setback for them. Did your children find it easy to make friends in and out of school and again do you think they have a better social life in Spain or in the UK?

Really sorry for all the questions!
