Re: Making A Living In Spain

Re: Making A Living In Spain

Re: Making A Living In Spain

Would you have had the same reaction if she'd said, "cuanto cobro la chica guapa??" or "cuanto cobro la mujer del carnicero?". I suspect if they were out to con foreigners, they would have some...

Re: Paid Paternity Leave

You get 13 days full pay, if you're on a full time contract and have been signed on to the social security for (from memory) 180 days. Think you get more if it's your 2nd bairn.
