 We are in state school in Andalucia, and there is quite a formal procedure to follow and various paperwork to get through.  The enrollment process usually takes place April/May - look at the government pages juntadeandalucia  dot es under "estudiar" for full details, or if you dont speak Spanish I would recommend you get in touch with Lisa Sadlier who runs Family Life in Spain and Move to Malaga Spain  (sorry wont let me post links!)

Best of luck & enjoy!!

 It will surely be an excellent service for those of us with children in Spanish schools, for books, materials, etc. The shops over here seems to charge crazy prices on "obligatory" workbooks for each class - the book for English alone this year was 18 euros.  I am hoping Amazon will shake things up a bit, but was quite disappointed when I went on the site to find nothing on my list was available.  I think it will be as good as the UK version once they have their stocks up and carry the same range of lesser known products we see on the UK site, and will be much easier to order things my daughter needs as her studies develop.

Hi, i´d love to hear from the community about personal experiences and recommendations for "Child Friendly" places to eat along the Costa del Sol.  I live Benalmadena side, and with all the will (and money) in the world, I cant try them all myself!!  

Here are a couple I love for starters:

Casa Paco, Playamar: Friendly service, they love kids and it has a huge expanse of lawn alongside where all the kids can run around in relative safety while the adults enjoy an after dinner Brandy!  Very good seafood & meat dishes at reasonable prices

Sabores del Mundo in Benhavis: a "Gourmet Delicatessen" where kids are greeted with Puzzle Sheets & table games, good food & family friendly service

Be great to get some more so we can let our families know when they come on Holiday!

 Hi, any genuine holiday company would expect you to have PLI, up to 1million euros cover in fact.  However its not that difficult to get, most buildings and contents policies give you a certain amount of cover, otherwise there are plenty of companies who can draw you up a "landlords" policy.  To be honest i wouldnt rent out my own place without it, ive seen and dealt with many things over the years working in Tourism!

Love to hear which company you come up with, 

rgds,
