As for websites...there really are none, as housing is competitive, so by the time a house went online it could already be taken. The individual real estate agents or housing have listings and pictures for you to just visit...there really is no other way. Before we moved here, I tried searching for websites and listings but found only one or two and they were not reliable anyway. <br /><br />I like to plan WAY ahead, but it&#39;s just not possible here unfortunately.<br /><br />Let me get back to you about E2, but I can&#39;t imagine why they couldn&#39;t..that just wouldn&#39;t make any sense.<br /><br />Crikey!Crikey mUmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12620166355915634460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4347038785320270543.post-34053908128528540622012-02-14T20:35:34.820-05:002012-02-14T20:35:34.820-05:00Do you know if E-2&#39;s can live off base??

We have orders to report in Rota in July, and I am trying to gather all the information I possibly can before we get there. I like to be prepared. :) About the enrolling the kids in Spanish schools, I would certainly be interested in that, however, I do wonder how well they will adapt if they speak no spanish currently?? I want them to learn all they can, and become immersed, but I wouldn&#39;t want to throw them too far into a culture shock. Are the spanish schools pretty &quot;english speaking&quot; friendly? If I thought they wouldn&#39;t fall behind because of the language barrier, then I would LOVE to do that! Also, thanks for the info on finding jobs! I am wondering about that process also. :) Either way, I am sure it will all be very interesting!! LOL! All of that being said, the 4 of us are extremely excited to make the move, and wish July would hurry up and get here already!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4347038785320270543.post-4273791729067423192012-02-03T04:25:18.781-05:002012-02-03T04:25:18.781-05:00Welcome to Spain...rock on.

Decided to send the kids to DGF this year with Spanish lessons, we are hoping they will be ready for Spanish immersion next year.. We are staying in Puerto right now and are looking for houses in the area - in fact we got very lost today walking to the beach - our 30 min walk turned into 2 hours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4347038785320270543.post-39918344162217744192012-01-14T16:44:54.868-05:002012-01-14T16:44:54.868-05:00thank you so much babe. We were just on the cusp of not being allowed, so very very lucky, but in saying that, I&#39;ll always make the best of any situation.
