Re: Electrician
I know a guy who was a carpenter, came out here, became a general builder, refurbed a couple of houses, did some electrical work.
then The Crisis hit.
He ended up installing wireless telephone systems and satellite systems. Got all his work from expats, no Spanish, and obviously that was drying up as well as he lived in Granada but most of his work came off the coast.
He would have to visit the coast at 90km ++ more than once to get a system right.
Anyway he is now back in the UK, working as a carpenter, and it looks like the marriage may last.
Sorry to be negative but they have good weather in Italy, perhaps there is a need for people out there - or will expats on the Italy forum give the same warnings

Stay in the UK and come to Spain or Italy for your Hols.
We Had a HACCP certification from Italy (After course and exam) they said it was valid all over EU. Spain does not accept it.
Also the numbers of expats here on the the Cods is dwindling fast.
