Hi all - advice appreciated.

Hi all, I decided to up and move from uk and this is my second week here.  Am currently stayin with a friend in Pubelo Benalmadena, but have decided this is far too "hilly" for me as i have no transport.  I'm tryin to find a long term rental, close to beach but also close to schools, 2 or 3 bedrooms and now I don't know which area to pick.  Also I must have internet access as I work from home online and I need to get sorted asap.

Can anyone help.

Nicky.

Hi Nicky

Welcome to Eye on Spain.

Have you had a look at our long term rentals on the site?

hi there thanks,

yes there are so many, but im really undecided as to area because I don't know anything about the schools here. Thanks for replying to me

Hi Nicky,

I can recommend Sabinillas, which is a couple kms' west of Estepona.  There is a large Brit community but retains its' Spanish  village atmosphere, and tons of amenities. The night life is not as Benalmadena, but a really nice ambience! 

If you look at www.manilvalife.com  i am sure there woill some rentals listed.

Hi ya sharon, i'll have a look at that ty.  My children are 13 in sept and one just turned 11.....

Lol, I don't know what my main worry is the school for the kids, or find a place with internet connection for work lol.  Using my mates at the mo and we both need it, its a bit hard lol.

So, Nicky, with kids of 11 & 13 you, I assume, will put them into an International school rather than a Spanish school. I just had a look & these are two to consider.

Benalmadena International College C/ Catarmaran s/n , 29630  Nueva Torrequebrada (Benalmadena Costa)
Tel: 952 561 666 Fax: 952 561 666
(Benalmadena Costa) Co-Educational British School - Founded 1997 (Formally The English Education College) The Benalmadena International College is situated in Nueva Torrequebrada, just off the N-340 coast road, between Benalmadena and Fuengirola. Nueva Torrequebrada is a new, exclusive urbanisation just metres from the sea and an established golf course.

Oh, lots of info to read up on, thankyou.  We actually I was thinking of Spanish School, we have been slowly learning the language, well my kids have, its not sticking with me.  I thought in at the deep end type thing.  Do you not think this is a good idea??

Hi Nicky,

There is a good Spanish school in Sabinillas where many British children attend.  Again the Manilva life website should be able to give you info for this.  Sorry i do not have!
