hey were a couple of students from scotland looking to head out to spain for the summer next year,we were hoping to rent a flat in same town for the full three months(we rekon this would be cheaper) we were looking at the possibility of working over there,could anyone give us advice on where to go(wheres cheap,safe and would hopefully have some work) and also websites that would help us find a flat let for that amout of time,any info would be greatly appreciated.............thanks

Not sure how many replies you'll get to this one as it's quite a broad remit.
Pretty much all will depend on your grasp of spanish.

Can´t help you that much, but will say that rents for the summer may be more expensive than you think. Have a look on www.enalquiler.com
Like previous poster said it depends on your level of Spanish as to what jobs you could get. That may also limit your location.

Summer camps for kids could be a possibilty. I know a person who worked on one residential, earned some cash then stayed on for a while to explore Spain.

Hey newbies !! Nice of you to join us. Please expand your title to be more specific - you may get more help that way.

Have you thought of becoming Woofers ? it seems to suit many students.

Woofer Organic Farming or more correctly WWOOF stands for Willing Workers On Organic Farms.

Look at http://www.wwoof.org/

and http://www.organicfoodinfo.net/woofe...c_farming.html

Plus there are other similar organisations operating in Spain

cool cheers roter

Also Try www.helpx.net ,another organisation that helps travel world wide in exchange for some work ,damn I wish I was young again....

You could be barking up the wrong tree woofing
No but seriously, it's not everyones cup of tea. The spanish call them slaves and don't really get it.
You work for someone and in return you get food and lodgings, that's it.
Also you find some people using woofers are taking the *!~>, even the food and lodgings are not up to much and for a lot of hard graft.
All the best
