There is no work program, you have to find a job on your own while in your country. Unless you are highly qualified ? You will not be able to find one.

This is extremely unlikely with the current economy. The unemployment rate in Spain is is around 20% and about 50% among the 16 - 24 year old age range. There is no working holiday visa available to US citizens since the US does not offer one to most Europeans. I believe that there may be a working holiday agreement between the US and Ireland though. European regulations require that a company advertise jobs and demonstrate that there are no viable EEA candidates for a job before the company can apply for a work permit for another foreigner. This severly limits job opportunities when there are so many unemployed candidates on the market.

only if u successfully apply for the work visa.

Unfortunately you can't. You need to have a working visa to be able to work in Spain.
3 :
well you could if nothing "bad goes wrong" and stay away from dark roads and parties ive heard about people getting tortured to death that way
4 :
Sure you can work here. Just not legally - and therefore not being paid the correct wage, not having any Employees rights and not having access to pensions, benefits or health care. You could also be deported if you are found working over here, and your boss could be heavily fined. Check on the website of your Country's Embassy to see how to apply for a working visa.

Not legally. I guess Spain is just racist. If you are caught in Spain after 3 months without a visa and work permit, you would probably be deported. "You need to have a working visa to be able to work in Spain." -She could do day labor, work illegally. It seems to be perfectly fine in the US.

There are 3 million people unemployed in Spain right now. That figure could reach 4 million this year. There are no jobs for any foreigners here. It's that simple.
2 :
Are you mad!! There are no jobs in Spain at the moment. People are trying to keep the jobs they have and believe you me if you've got a job in your own country stay there. Don't even think of coming to Spain until the recession is over. I think you had better read the newspapers try www.bbc.co.uk www.elpais.es This will fill you in on the economic reality and don't forget you can't get any Social Security here if you haven't worked for at least two years. Plus if you are an American or South American you need to get a Visa and the government won't be giving those out too readily now with the economic climate here.

Is there much TIG welding work available in Spain

Is there much TIG welding work available in Spain?
I am looking for TIG welding work in Spain for next year, ideally around the coast. My partner is a teacher and I'm a welder (Irish and English). We are currently in Korea but wanting to make the move to Spain to be closer to home.

The short answer is no. There is not a massive amount of industry around the coastal areas of spain , and any welding work would really be centred around making Gates , Fences and Rejas ( Security Grilles ). If this is something that you are able to do then my advise would be to looking at starting this as your own business because you would struggle to find reasonably well paid work like this on a permanent legal contract here in Spain
