Moreover, lately foreigners are not very welcome anymore.
My husband & I have two amazing young boys, currently following an English (UK) Cambridge system & have Spanish as a 2nd language as being half Spanish. We’d like to know they the quality of school systems there & if there are predominantly English/ Internationally recognized schools for them to school in.
Requirements of schools can range from mid to high quality.
Probably depends on the quality you expect, I expect good.
If you really want to know if you can afford to live there happily, I recommend going on vacation and see for your self.
Could be a lot cheaper if you plan to make food yourself but that's a poor retirement. Better invest money and retire when you can afford better.
Cheers!
