Hello, we live in Balsicas, Murcia.

Myles is 12 and Daisy is 8, For Myles's school books we was supposed to receive €200 in september ( still waiting) and for Daisy we received €100 bono libro! manana manana (sorry no spanish n on my keyboard)

The thing is when we lived in the UK we paid taxes for all that stuff ( half of which was probably for immigrants) plus the cost of school uniform at least 3 times per year (with Myles anyway), so even if every year we have to pay €300-€500 at least I know its for my childrens future and no one else! ( no disrespect!)

No complaints, loving Spain for 4 years now.

When we first moved over in january 07 we came via dover-calais, but took the perpignan/montpellier route (mucho dinero for the tolls) If you have time and no children unless they dont mind sitting in the car for a couple of days! take the west coast of france by bourdeaux nantes then over the mountain via Bossost,les and llieda,zarragoza, valencia etc  Try green flag with the option of non toll roads.

Hello, I was working in toulouse for airbus,  I would come home to Murcia every month,

From toulouse I would go towards tarbes and lourdes exit at J18 folowing the route to bossost,les and llieda, Over the pyrenesse

Lots of snow this time of the year though ( awesome views expecially in the summer, there are lots of blue lagoons with stopping points) Then I would head for Zarragoza, then Valencia then take the old motorway towards font de la figuera and murcia. All the route is toll free and In a diesel It would cost me about €60 petrol a bit more.

If you would like more info I can help, I travelled this route for 2 years every month! never a hickup.
