Hi
We are a british family (with 2 kids aged 8 and 3) currently living on a tiny island in Mexico, we have been living here full time for 12 years, but need to be closer to home now we have nieces and nephews and parents who aren't getting any younger.
We have been researching Spain as we all speak Spanish already and property is affordable compared to the uk once we sell our property here.
We really like the alpujarras region in Spain, but are wondering what schooling is available for our children.
If anyone has any advice or recommendations with regard to good accessible schools in the region I would appreciate any information.
Secondly, my husband is a bespoke carpenter, and specialises in traditional wooden doors, windows, shutters, furniture and wooden signs for businesses, he now speaks fluent Spanish. He has also just completed 2 foreman jobs on two private houses here in Mexico for ex pat owners. Do you think that kind of work is in demand in Andalucia? He would have transport and all his own tools?

I am a photographer specialising in wedding photography but also do real estate photography here in Mexico.
Again, do you think there is a demand for this?

We know the current economic climate is tough, but we are quite adaptable, my husband can also do fencing, build walls, and has run bars and pubs for a living before. I used to work for BA sales and also have customer service call centre, waitressing, and bar experience as well. Is there a good website or newspaper classifieds section that you would recommend to find situations vacant?

We are looking to rent a 2 or 3 bedroom property for 6 to 12 months before we buy property, to make sure we have made the right choice and location for work and schools. So if anyone has recommendations for finding property to rent that would also be helpful.

I appreciate any help or advice, so thanking you all in advance

Warm regards from Mexico.
