Depending on your skills and your fluency in Spanish, you can get many opportunities over there. If you only speak English, you could work in Call centers. Many are located in Barcelona. Otherwise, if you are interested in hospitality/catering, you can provide your services to restaurants/hotels that are located on the Mediterranean coast. Your English will be useful in areas that receive many British tourists, check out jobs in local newspaper. In order to give you more job opportunities, it would be better to stay in a big city. Barcelona, Valencia, Malaga are cities that can interest you. Since Spaniards use to share their flats, it will be easy to find a room for รข‚¬300. Good luck.

If you are an EU citizen you can work anywhere in EU without restrictions but each country has some rules to follow before u go ahead. Once u are in Spain u need to contact the foreign police & must register with them within 90 days & get a residence permit ( even if u r EU Citizen) & then start working. After 90 days if u dont get residence permit u will have some problems but that doesnt meat u are illegal in that country its just that u didnt follow the rules & authorities can make problems but cannot just kick u out of country unless u commit a crime.

How do people "work out" in Spain? Do they have gyms
How do people "work out" in Spain? Do they have gyms?
I am studying abroad at la Universidad de Complutense en Madrid in the Spring, and I don't want to give up my cardio/strength training routine. Will there be somewhere for me to work out? Maybe even take a pilates or spinning class? Sorry when I studied in Italy and Costa Rica none were close by. I didn't realize the question was offensive. I just wondered what kind of classes people took, or if most preferred to jog/bike outside.

ask around there has to be a gym somewhere close by, there are gyms in almost every country in the world unless you live in an out of the way place.

They get their work out by getting chased by a bull in the streets after a good night's drinking. Well, once a year anyways. Good luck on your trip.
3 :
Of course we have gyms some with very sophisticated machines. This is Europe, what do you think we are like here? Even where I live in the once forgotten province of Spain and in a small costal village we have at least three gyms of different sorts.
4 :
Spain has the best diets in Europe, some of the best wines, best people and certainly some of the most modern gyms in the world. Here on the costa they have no end of place to go, I should imagine in Madrid they might be even better, as here on the costa folks tend to jog/run/power walk etc., in the good weather, then go for a beer and tapas!
5 :
there are plenty of gyms in every barrio and i'm sure you will find something to suit your tastes. there is fitness first too. If you have fitness first in your own country join up and pay the extra to use all gyms worldwide.
6 :
Yes, we're a developed country, you know. Sorry, but honestly, this question seems to be more typical from a illiterate than from a university student. Do we have gyms???? is it a joke???? lol
7 :
I live in a small city in southern Spain. They do have gyms just like in the states, however, I don't know how popular pilates and spinning classes are. This is something you would have to take up with gym management.
8 :
No, we climb up the trees and jump over the cars and buses... Apart from the joke, there are plenty of gyms where you would be able to do whatever you want/need. Anyway, welcome to Madrid and have a nice staying.
9 :
of course we have gyms, in what kind of country do you think we are? (don't wanna be an American idiot )

If you ask 100 Spaniards if they work out 95 will say, "Yes I work out. I walk every day." That's the general way most all Spaniards get exercise. But in this new, hustle bustle world even fewer people have time to walk just to walk - unless they're going somewhere. Few people, except older retired persons, take evening strolls in the street. Do people go to gyms? Sure! But not as commonly as in the USA. Gyms in Spain are fewer and farther between, that's for sure, but there are some great, large, modern gyms which are every bit as good as the gyms I'd attended in the USA. My gym (nowhere near Complutense) has spinning, pilates, dancing, and other kinds of classes as well as the usual electronic machines (bikes, treadmills, elliptical), free weights, and weight machines. There are also a number of tiny, hole-in-the-wall gyms which have nothing more than a room full of aged free-weights. I don't like these gyms at all. Madrid has some big gyms too. Ask around where you live and certainly someone will be able to point you in the right direction. Good luck with your study-abroad! Saludos, MadridMan(.com)

"Sorry when I studied in Italy and Costa Rica none were close by." I've never been to Italy or Costa Rica but I'd obviously take for granted that there are gyms there, at least in the cities. Now, if you want Gyms to be located round the corner of your house so life becomes more comfortable to you.... move your ass, walk the streets, and find one yourself. That's a good cardio exercise.

What do I need to make my hair drier (120 V) work in Spain where voltage is 230 V
What do I need to make my hair drier (120 V) work in Spain where voltage is 230 V ?

you need a power adapter - the sockets there are different, too. The adapter will have resistors built in to convert the voltage, and will go in the spanish socket but have an american outlet.
2 :
You need a big heavy expensive transformer (step down) with a rating equal to that of the hair drier. see second reference. $60, weighs 25 pounds. Better is to spend the few bucks for a dual-voltage drier. Cheaper, and you don't have to lug the transformer around. I have one Iv'e used on trips for a lot of years. see first reference. About $10-20 .
