If you are not already a EU national (from Europe) then you will have to get a visa to work/study there, have a look at this it tells you quite a bit about it> http://www.irantour.org/spain/spainvisaapplication.html A couple sites about living costs in Spain (Some of the ones i found are comparing Spanish prices to English prices and im not sure where you are from so dont know how helpful they will be to you)> http://spain.othercountries.com/pages/articles/index.asp?page=cost-of-living http://www.paradorproperties.com/generalaccess/pages.aspx?pag_id=90 From what i see (and have heard about living there) it can be pretty expensive to rent somewhere in one of the more touristy locations like Madrid and Barcelona but you may be able to find somewhere if you look hard enough... Living on the outskirts of a city would probably be cheaper (but then you have to bear in mind your travel expenses to and from work etc). You didnt say what kind of work you would be looking for but just tap "job opportunites in Spain" into google and a lot of stuff comes up, you should be able to find it out yourself, add more detail like "mechanic job opportunies in spain" or whatever type of job you will be looking for to narrow it down. Hope this helps some, i'm hoping to go study at university next year in Spain! Good luck! =)
