Hoping to move to Spain
 

Hi, I am new to this site and I have already posted other messages in other topics. I would like to move to Spain, around Barcelona if possible but anywhere else can be considered. I am a teacher (English and French) and my boyfriend is electrician. Both living in the UK at the moment, we wanted to know if there are any places recruiting British people. Unfortunately, our level of Spanish language is minimal at the moment. I know it is a lot to ask when the economy is not great but if we don't ask, we don't know. Thanks in advance for any replies. :)

Good luck..you could try the International Schools in Spain through either The Times Ed or try and find any on the internet. Thats your best bet as there will be no work for a self employed electrician.
Best thing to do is find out for yourself...come to Spain and see what its like.

Your boyfriend would need all his qualifications ratified in Spain which I understand is a drawn out process at best and with thousands of qualified Spanish electricians out of work chances are he won't find employment.

Your best bet as a teacher would at a guess be going down the TEFL route and trying to find work that way.

If you and he have recognised UK qualifications your best bet if you want the 'sun' (read your other posts) would be a move to Australia or New Zealand where your qualifications will be recognised more readily and you'll have no day to day language issues.

Unemployment is officially running at 25% in Spain and 36% on the Costas. Unofficially, the rate is much higher. You have little hope of a job even if you speak fluent Spanish. If you dont speak fluent Spanish and hope to work in Spain you are on to the greatest loser even before you start.

Unless you are retiring or going on holidays Spain is out of the question and will drain every penny of your savings.
