Moving to Spain
 

Hi. I'm giving serious consideration to moving to Fuengirola. I don't speak Spanish yet but am trying to learn the basics. Websites are saying there are English speaking jobs available. I sell and rent property here in Scotland but websites warn not to expect to get a job in your chosen field so I'm happy to take waitressing jobs etc. Can anyone advise on the best way to go about this and how much property costs to rent, expected salaries etc?

I suspect that the english speaking jobs are few and far between, waitressing jobs will be at around €5 an hour, remember that unemployment is very much higher than the UK and, unless you can get a contracted job you will need private health cover, so you need to factor that in.

Thanks for that Rosemary. So much to consider. I am due to go to Fuengirola in May for a holiday so might spend it checking things out. I can ask people I've got to know over there too.

It is not easy to find job, but not impossible. Try this: Jobs in Spain

I have been looking at that thank you. I've got to know a couple if people so intend to ask around when I'm there in May.
