Jobs on the Costa Dorada

Hi,

It's not easy for even the Spanish to find jobs these days and without speaking Spanish as a second language I would think it would be almost impossible to find a decent job with reasonable pay in the type of work you are hoping for.

Talking to others in your position, wanting work in Spain, the main jobs are bar and restaurant work and that type of work is notoriously low paid and most of those type of jobs prefer workers to be Spanish and English speaking.

Spain is generally lower pay than in the UK, although the cost of living is slightly cheaper - except for utility bills which have been going up over the last few years. The advice that comes from our other forums is that if you can afford to live without working then Spain is a great place to live but if not and especially if you do not speak Spanish then it will be hard to find work to live.

Hope this helps.
