    Hi to all!

    I'm planning to goto Spain in Jan. 2003 and searching for some guys to give me some info about.

    How are jobs for a marketing girl and a flash/svg (would even code html) programmer?
    How are the accomodations - how much € do you need for living a month ?
    Any links to jobportals and for flats?

    At the moment our spanish is poor, but improving - so are there english spoken jobs too?


    Best thanks,
    Vincenzo

    I was last summer in Spain, and it was cheaper to buy a mountainbike to crouse around then to rent one. Spain is really cheap, just not at the tourist centers.

    I know the ETA is operating in the north of Spain, in Baskenland, but i don't think its dangerous for people living there only for politicians in that area.

    So -
    More info for me and Markp, please!

    My husband and I went to Spain for our honneymoon. I loved it and beer is cheaper then coke *go figure*.

    The only thing I didn't like is that people there STINK.. I mean they smell very bad!!!! They probably take a bath once a week.

    However, I did discover that the standard of living is low and it's very expensive to live inside the city. Traffic is hell and most people don't know what a stop sign is!

    They have the biggest dropzone in Europe, so if you are a skydiver like me, then you have to life in Empuriabrava (Catalunia)

    If you wanna have good parties, then Ibiza is the place to be (but my fav is Aya Napa, Cypres)

    Spain is only expensive where the tourists are and in the big cities (<-- where the tourists are, too)

    bad luck, these kind of people u find anywhere.

    Va

    at the moment there are many people (designers) without work

    the best site to look for job is:

    http://www.infojobs.net/home_ie.htm

    The best magazine with the list of best design (&related) companies is
    http://www.interactivadigital.com/

    I'm afraid everything is in Spanish

    Living cost in Madrid, uf difficult to say
    Rent 1 room: from around 300 +++ € / month
    Travel card : 30 € / month
    Food: is cheap
    Going out: depends where u go
    Salary: (all depends) for designers the offers start
    from 12020. € / year
    If you are good the sallary is much better, but don't compare with the one u probably have now.
    Where u from?¿

    I would do some research on the companies and send my CV before moving to see how the things are.
    No big problem if u don't speak Spanish with english you
    get by at the beggining.

    Let me know if u have more questions.

    Oksey
