UK Resident looking to move to live in spain
 

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what the work situation is like for ex pats in the Alicante area of Spain.
We are a british couple in our thirties and neither of us speak any Spanish.
One of us currently works in property maintenance and painting and decorating. Is there a great need for these sort of trades?
The other one of us has experience in sales, in finance, motor trade. Since there is no grasp of the language perhaps there are selling jobs aimed specifically at products/services for british ex pats?

We would appreciate any advice.

Cheers K & LG
