The only danger in waiting is that their class in the school you want may fill up for the following year and your child would be assigned another school. In general, to apply, the school will ask for your ID numbers, certiicate of "enpadromiento" from the council stating that you are living there, income information and if you are a "large" family - more than 3 members.

Best thing about Spain - even small towns, is that there is always something going on not too far away, keep an eye on the community events and festivals coming up in the area, concerts, fairs, etc.

I feel we've done the right thing, my children are very happy and settled here and the social aspect for them now speaking both Spanish and English and having their groups of friends and feeling part of a "traditional" community is hard to beat. After living abroad we think it should almost be a requirement for everyone young and old to live in another country/culture for at least a year - it can really change your perspective on the world.

The children can be registered at a school at any time during the year. If you have missed the initial registration period (typically in spring) you can usually apply when the offices open again about 3 weeks before the school year begins.

From a social and language standpoint, I would definitely recommend a Spanish school. The quality tends to be quite good and your child can form part of the local community, be bi-lingual and most importantly have Spanish friends and contacts.
