Hi everyone
My husband and I are looking to re-locate to the Alicante area and eventually run our own business. But we would need emoloyment initially and maybe supplementary whilst we develop our own.
How easy is it to find work with very little spoken Spanish?

We are both happy to do any kind of work and I am also a hairdresser.
Any advice is gratefully received.

Thanks
Tracey & Simon

Take a look at the unemployment levels in spain and you will see why Spaniards go to U.K. to find work And they of course speak the language !

We have a family friend who comes from Spain. He moved to the UK some years ago because of the difficult employment situation in his homeland. Recently, they suffered a significant family event and he and his son had to make a decision as to whether they return to Spain, or elsewhere - they chose Ireland.
