New Shoes
I thought I would treat myself this morning, so I *escaped* from the office and went down to Scooby Doo (nr Iceland) and got myself some new sandals. I thought I deserved to spoil myself he he
la marina
do you know what the schools are like in the area?
Ive heard that is like living in England but in Spain, would you say this is true? I do want my children to mix with Spanish kids and learn the language.
I personally do not have school age children, but my friend's little boy goes to San Fulgencio School and, although there are quite a few English children, the majority are Spanish. He is now 8 and doing extremely well. He has picked up the Spanish language very well (unlike his parents) !! He is very happy there and has English & Spanish friends which is brilliant !!
My son is nearly 10 and has been at the school since we moved here in 2005. He could speak no Spanish when we arrived and the first few weeks were terrible for him. Within weeks he started to learn the language and now speaks it as a native - if only I could!!
The education he gets is superb. Far better than what I remember getting at his age in the UK and I managed a few A levels.
The old school was a bit of a shambles but the new building is well equipped and has good dedicated teachers. I can't praise it enough.
My concern is the High school, which has a really bad reputation and there appears to be no plans in place for a permanent school of the quality of the primary school.
hi, I have 3 children, two go to primary school and one is in the institute (high school) in san fulgencio, and although there is a majority of english children in the schools there is also a lot of spanish children too, and the teachers only speak spanish to them so they pick it up very quickly, my children are aged 7, 9 and 14 and we have only lived in spain 3 years, they speak great spanish and are doing well at school, although in the begining there were a few problems with the language barrier, but the children soon understood and overcome this. My children mix with the spanish children and love it here.

´SPLENDOUR OF SPAIN¨, Music, Arts & Craft Festival Sat 4th & Sunday 5th 11am - 6pm
If you have a few hours to spare on the weekend, pop down to Casa La Pedrera the Grand Design House and soak up the atomosphere of the Music, Arts & Craft Festival. It runs all day until 6 and there is an opening and a closing performance both with a spanish flavour. If you have never experienced the true ´flamenco´ you need to be here at 4.00pm on Saturday to see the ´Gypsey King´ from Sevilla, who is the real deal. He has a huge spanish following and has never played to english before, so we need to show him that we can ´Fiesta´like the rest of them. So tell all your friends, there is plenty to see and do, craft fair, art exhibition, and for the kids pony, quad rides and our hay ride with trips to the lake. An all day bbq, plus wood fired paella in the true Valencian tradition. The raffle prizes truly amazing and includes hand made jewellery, paintings etc. & all those entering receiving a free sample of the spanish Liquor, Licquor 43... So much to do, see and hear,,, you cannot afford to miss it!!! We are less than 15 mins from Quesada, quickest way is jump onto the AP7 towards Categena, and take the next exit which is Los Montesinos, follow the signs for Orihuela/Bigastro and its just left after the Vista Bella/La Fortaleza Rest. or simply drive right through Los Montesinos, over the motorway again following the signs to Bigastr/Orihuela. There will be signs off the CV95 to turn into the CV950 just after the restaurants. See our website www.thingstodoinspain.info and click on contact us and then on find us or call 660816620... Jenni
