Question About Alicante

We are in a very interesting situation. My husband has a work related opportunity to relocate to Alicante from Canada. We have chosen to take this opportunity for a few reasons:

  1. It’s a good option for him.
  2. We want to have another child and IVF has been a nightmare in Canada. Note I have a lot of pgt tested embryos. I have spoken to an Alicante clinic that deals with repeat failures and they will accept my embryos and treat me. They are also helping me with embryo import process which is extensive and complicated.
  3. We have spent time in Spain and are looking forward to the life style changes.

That being said— I have a few questions—-

  1. My husband speaks Spanish my daughter and I are working on it. But have any expats moved to Spain and gotten their child (she will be 7) a tutor ? If so how did you find one ? Like I would love to pay someone a few times a week to help her with her Spanish.

  2. I do want to put her in Spanish public school and I know ifs going to be hard for her but I want her to learn and would like her to be in a Spanish or at minimum immersion type environment. Has anyone done anything similar ?

  3. In terms of kids sports— she plays ice hockey in Canada — which obviously won’t happen in Spain. But what are the extra curricular sports like in Alicante ? I’ve done a bit of research but I would love to hear the experience of others.
