Hi there
I'm new to this forum having just been offered a job in Gibraltar this week. I am currently weighing up the pros and cons on a potential move, so would appreciate any info on living there that people have. In particular I'm concerned about my 5 year old daughter if we move and how it would affect her schooling depending on where we live. A few questions if anyone can help, I'd be very grateful:
- Can children go to Gibraltar schools if you live over the border in Spain? If they have to pay extra for this does anyone know how much extra?
- What is the border delay like these days if you commute from Spain to Gibraltar? I've heard some horror stories of very lengthy delays, but these all seem relatively historic, can anyone comment on what it's like now? Does it make a difference to how long you are delayed if you travel by bus/car/walk?
- Do people generally own cars if based in Gibraltar? How hard is it to park/store the car given space restrictions?
- Do people with kids generally recommend staying in or outside Gibraltar? Any particular areas to recommend/avoid?
Many thanks for any info that can be provided.
