Interviews

  1. Interview with Lorna

    "Going to the international playgroup was great but often all foreign parents were in the same boat so I discovered that you really have to throw yourself into it and find out for yourself. Choosing any type of care for your children is such a personal choice that you do need to visit nurseries and schools yourself as well as trying to find people who already have children in school here."

  2. Interview with Melissa

    "I had lived abroad before I came to Sitges so I understood a little of the transient way the people live here but I wish I had explained it more to my children who make friends only to find two years later their parents contract has finished and they move on."

  4. Interview with Ally

    "We have put the kids into the local Catalan school and are trying hard to fit in. The kids are learning the language fast so are making friends - both English and Spanish. I have a couple of Spanish friends although they are new to Catalunya also. I wouldn't say I have integrated yet. Maybe once I can speak Spanish to the mums at school then it will get easier."

  5. Interview with Claire

    " I'd say the prenatal care is very thorough but once the child is born the Spanish philosophy is to cut you loose and let the family rally around."

    "Compared to the UK childcare is so much cheaper in Sitges, Jess goes to nursery 5 mornings a week, the monthly cost is 200euros, this wouldn't even cover a weeks nursery fees in the UK."
