Re: Does anyone live in the Jaen / Martos area?
Hi Timmy...well I know of the 3 language centres....so those contact details would be a great place to start. I have also heard that the local schools do take English teachers - however I have no information on how to get one of those jobs - I was hoping that 1 of the centre owners might be able to help me on that front. There is also a large English Dept at the University of Jaen. but my letter of inquiry to the University from last November as yet remains unanswered - maybe because it was in English and not in Spanish , as I sent it to [email protected].
Again I'm hoping that someone from the language centres will maybe have a contact person at the University ..
All of this is speculative at the moment, but I'm seriously under-challenged by my job and the students here in Vietnam, so I'm looking at this being my last year IF i can get something in and around Martos....

That's if there is a space for you of course. Unusually only a few percent of the people who pass the exams actually get offered the job
If you want to teach English then just do a tefl and ask all the language schools if they need an English teacher

Re: Does anyone live in the Jaen / Martos area?
Thanks Cricketman..qualified and been teaching for nearly 17 years..Most Universities run an ESL/EFL programme and I've taught on these programmes in Ecuador and in Vietnam where I live and work without any issues, however, its not a big deal if I dont qualify for a job. I'm really just interested in using my knowledge and experience to help students for exam preperation, business communication etc, so with 3 language centres and also websites like Clases particulares y Profesores particulares to provide myself with online students I should be able to make some beer tokens but more importantly give me a few productive hours everyday ...

As for hotels the cuidad is about the best value , there is also the fernando and the hildalgo which is the most expensive , look forward to meeting you I go out once every 2 months and have 2 houses out there ,you won't go far wrong with Derryl and diego , we live in lincs and are gonna move out in 4 yrs , Martos is a very nice place with loads of bars and restaurants , but you will need to learn some lingo ,
Thanks

delbut..if you google - property for sale in Alcala la real then all the main estate agents in the area will pop up including D and D ...as you say you should always look around and the first 2 hits on Google for that question return the 2 main search websites that take from all the main agents, so a lot more choice

Re: Does anyone live in the Jaen / Martos area?
Hello all, I am new to this forum so forgive me if my question has already been asked/answered.
I am considering moving to Martos in August with my Spanish girlfriend (I am English). I am looking at ESL teaching jobs and have been offered an interview in Martos. We are both 30 and I was wondering if there is much to do in the town. Shops, bars, restaurants, gym etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I am member of the gym in town there's another one on the industrial estate and a female only one too. Jean is only 15 mins away, where you have the university and great shopping. I believe theres 7 restaurants in the Michelin guide in Jaen and loads of cafe bars.
