Short-term work in Spain?

Question

Hi,

Have roughly 3 months to kill, and am considering going somewhere in Spain and finding short-term employment there.

I speak good Spanish, as well as Italian and English fluently; I'm an EU citizen; I've got a TEFL certificate and experience as a TEFL teacher. h**l, I've even got an MA...I just want to do something with myself for these upcoming months rather than waste time in my home country.

Would I be able to simply walk into a bar/language school/restaurant/hotel and find work? My city of preference would be Barcelona, but am open to Madrid, Valencia, whatever - don't know if I'm more likely to find work in one rather than the other.

Any help guys/girls? :) Thanks

Answer 1

You should have no problem getting bar work here, but the wages will be less than somewhere like the UK. You will probably have to work long hours and at times when people want to be served. Many bars here stay open until the last customer goes home. If you are from the UK you could try the area around Torrevieja. There are more Brits there than Spaniards. Everywhere you go there are bars and restaurants. It isn´t a very classy place though. I live in rural Spain. I doubt you´d get work here as there aren´t the jobs. Barcelona & Madrid may be expensive for accommodation but best of luck anyway.
