Answer 4

You should try checking out some websites to start with. If you speak Spanish then go for some sites that are based in Spain. Under EU law, EU citizens are allowed to work around the Eu in most cases, but you should check with the Spanish immigration people to see if this applies to your country. If you want casual work, such as fruit picking or barman, then it may be better to get to your destination then look around. If you are after a more formal job such as accountant or other corporate work, there are UK agencies that specialise in placing people. You should check out some search results for terms like "jobs in Spain", "Spanish jobs", or "Madrid jobs" to see what results you get.
