Just done a quick search on Google and found quite a few instructors in San Javier/San Pedro, but can't vouch for them or whether they speak English.  Trepidation about driving on the right is understandable but with the years of experience you have had I am sure you'll be fine.  So long as your first trip isn't in to Murcia City or IKEA (the roundabout there is an experience to behold) I am sure you'll be fine.  Short trips in to Balsicas and San Javier soon build confidence and you'll quickly learn about sticking to the right.  I found driving in traffic helped a lot as you can (sort of) copy the car in front.  It's surprising how quickly it becomes 'normal'.  Good luck in your new adventure and I and no doubt all other residents wish you well and welcome to SG.

Hi 172, welome to Sierra Golf!

Agree completely with IanR, and I would worry that unless you chose an instructor from the UK, they wouldn't even realise the sort of support and practice you'd be looking for.  When a friend of mind retired to Spain, she asked me to come out with her so that she could practice driving on the right without her husband watching over her.  It worked for her and something similar is possibly all that you'll need, although I don't know your circumstances.  There are many kind people on SG who would come out with you if you should want them too.

Good luck and well done with buying on SG.
