Hi,
Most people have already said, and you know the unemployment situation here in spain.
Have you thought about Barcelona, The city is so busy and while im sure there will be lots of folk looking for work to, you may stand a better chance there. Tons of language schools, Bars, restaurants, toursim work, uve got the lot.
I dont live there but i am there most months for work and the place is buzzing..
Ive always felt there is no perfect place to live full stop, and to a certain extent plump for a place and just give it your best shot. if you are employable people you will get a job.....

Well Madrid also is a better place than most to get a job, and it also has that "buzzing" feeling. But the OP stated they wanted somewhere their wages could allow them to buy property, and I suspect the average price in Barcelona or Madrid is far too high for first time buyers.

Employment is everywhere.. you just have to seek it out, I have applyed for 30 jobs in the past 4 days.... Yes its harder then years ago.. But its still doable, the amount of jobs that are online, at home.., and advertised... Im determined enough to get a job..

You appeared to be asking for recommendations of a nice inexpensive location where you and your BF may find work.:huh:

I would agree that those who have talent, skills and try (very hard) may find work even in these difficult times.

I think the key word is "may", or more likely "may not". Many many thousands of highly qualified, highly skilled, highly motivated Spanish have found out that getting a job has proved impossible for them in Spain, and so have exported their skills elsewhere in the world. The fact that they have been prepared to emigrate with all that involves and get employment elsewhere proves they are motivated and employable. Just not in Spain. The number of Spanish moving to Germany alone last year increased by 4.5%, Germany is desperate for them.

Well ... There are loads of jobs for highly qualified people!, So many places are looking for managers, bussines developers and IT people, But Im young.. I dont have such expirence even if I do consider myself employable, Ive worked in big estate agents and had my own bussines at 16. Forget the news.. and look on the job sites Most people in spain are unempolyed becasue they are lazy, Ill work cleaning toilets if it means I can look after myself and my boyfriend. ... Yes its very very difficult. But its cerntly doable.
