Is moving to Marbella easy or hard?
I had this comment today and wondered if anyone wants to leave their thoughts as I know there are readers out there with children and they are best placed to give their thoughts.
Personally I have found the Spanish to be welcoming, I have never encountered a problem here because Marbella is so International. My children haven’t been to the local schools so I can’t give my thoughts on that. I know people that are happy and unhappy with their children’s education, just the same as in the UK. The weather is usually super, but we have had a blip this winter.
Making friends is as easy or difficult as you want to make it. By living in a community, such as an apartment or townhouse it makes it easier. Mums with young children at school often make their first friends with mums at the same school as their children. There are also lots of clubs and activities for children and adults such as dancing, sports etc that also allows friendships to develop. It takes time….Here is the comment from a lady that may well be soon joining us in Marbella. If you have something to say that may help her, just post a comment and I’ll put it on the site. Thank you….
I have been living in The South of France for 5 years returned to the UK because I couldn’t stand living their anymore. Even though I do kind off like living back in the UK having no language barrier and schooling for my children, I am missing the other side of living abroard, outdoor eating, life style and the feeling of not being a number, like it is in the UK. My husband has mention living in Marbella as he has done a bit of work over their.
But is Spain similar to France are the Spanish welcoming, friendly as the french were not at all and this made me feel very sad livng amongst the attitude they have towards the English. Are the school good at catering for young children who don’t speak Spanish, and having to speak another language gives me a headache thinking about it.
I need to be around friend and I love the idea of having friend and children over to play with my children after school and at weekends. Can you make friends over in Spain easily !!!! and what is the education like !!!!!
I do want to move and the next move have to be good for me and my family. The good and bad about Marbella is what I need to hear.
