Basic will depend where you are and what you do. Many people are happy to earn €1000 a month, or to have a job at all. Like in any country most work is in the city. As a landscape gardener you obviously work where you get a job but plenty of competition in that area too. You'd have to focus on areas (climate) where people actually have gardens that need landscaping, or grass to be cut. |

I doubt you'll find it easier working in a supermarket. Again lots of Spanish people wanting any kind of work. The higher paying supermarkets have many applicants and otherwise just temp contracts with low pay. |

As always it's not impossible but if you look at the world today, it's very hard to make a living with non skilled employment and even working in a supermarket you need skills.
