living in malaga (Málaga)

Hello.
Protected content wife and I are arriving in Malaga in Feb 15 on a research trip with regards to moving to the city or surrounding area in Sept 15 with our two young sons aged 8 & 10.
The main purpose of our Feb trip is to source out schools and areas of Malaga that would be suitable to raise a young family. We had hoped to originally move into a smaller part of the region like Torrox or Nerja but we have to take into account the ages of our boys and perhaps it would be best to move to Malaga or just outside so it would be easier for them to adjust into their new surroundings and make friends etc.
If anybody could recommend established schools (Spanish or International) and suitable areas of Malaga aswell as reputable estate agents in the area, we would be most grateful.

Regards,

Richie
