We are planning on spending 2012-2013 academic year in Spain with our twin boys of 8. Valencia is an appealing possibility because of the climate and beaches [as well as English language schools].
We have spent a year before in Madrid and are fluent in Spanish, but know precious little about Valencia and its area.
We will highly appreciate a chance to Skype/email with expats who know the area and can give us some general input and suggestions. Having school age kids, we are mainly concerned about education, where to live, etc.
As we are not going to work outside home [write...write...write...], we can choose any pace that fits the family needs combined with possibilities for a fun time for all.
Thanks so much for any input.

I also live on the outskirts of Valencia near La Eliana and I agree that it is a great place to live, near some good schools, great park and within easy reach of Valencia.
