What is the attitude towards people from Dominican Republic in Spain?
If someone from Dominican Republic, who is a mix (white and black) has an opportunity to conduct research work in Spain, Barcelona, for a couple of years should they take it? What is the attitude towards DR people in Barcelona? I've read several posts about racism in Spain so I am just wondering.

but you have to understand they are still BL to them white people do not care that a black person can speak their language i mean racism is not dead it will never die that is why i woke up a long time ago i have heard of white latin americans going to spain with no problems why can't the same go for the blacks
2 :
I'm not from Spain but i've been there and there are Black people living there (mostly African immigrants) and i didn't notice any racism towards them. They do complain about Latinos immigrating there though but to be honest people from all over Europe complain about immigration lol so it's one of those things you can't get away from, there is no point in missing a good opportunity over it.

if you're the guy let me tell u that i'm jewish and there is no racism towards jewish , arabs , black people in everyday life . take the job spain is beautiful and you will enjoy

Not very positive, I heard. I have some spanish friend and I would said that racism in Spain today is surely not as bad as it was in the USA in the 60'-70's. So, it nothing that should intimidate anyone. There are people that are prejudiced and some other are friendly and well-minded. If you are looking to do research, go for it. I now of many blacks that graduated from prominent Spanish universities before ( and even without being humiliated in the process).

Well I'm a White Dominican and people made fun of my accent and slang when I went to university there. There the Spanish is so pure they look down on changes to it. But you are a mulato so youll face racial slurs, probably violence, especially after football games and holidays. So never go on the subway around that time. People telling you it isnt racists are those who never been there. Like A lot of Americans think Europe is some big socialists continent where there is racial harmony and everyone is atheists LOL, but if they ever came there they would be really shocked. Remember Spain was the last Fascist country.

Well one we are not Black we are Latinos. your skin doesnt define who you are or what you are. Now im Dominican and Cuban and im dark. I have been to spain alot of times. They are not racist to us. It deapends on who you are as a person.

''It is not always safe to buy goods on the Internet. So it would be quite reasonable if you ask reliable people to recommend some e-shops that were already proved to be trustworthy. You may simply ask your friends where they would buy this item.'' ''Sometimes it is a good idea to search for e-shops selling the goods you want to purchase rather than goods themselves. It is likely that number of e-shops in your area is not as large as number of references to the goods. Most of e-shops have own search systems inside their sites. So you may reduce time for search of goods if you will view not thousands of references to the product, but tens of e-shop sites.'' Basically I'm saying is to be extra careful.

Here's some advice for you...Stay home. You aren't going to find bar work in Spain until their economy improves. Period. With the unemployment rate at 27% or so, there are no jobs for foreigners. Hopefully, it will be better next year.
2 :
If you do not know anybody in the area, have no place to stay and have no firm job offer to come to it will be difficult to find any work here at the moment. Add in the fact that your Spanish may not be too good and that you have not yet got an NIE number and it will be impossible to find anything that is anywhere close to to being legal. Personally, whilst I admire your spirit, I would plan on doing this next year and spend your immediate time doing something that will help towards your coming to Spain to work for a while - such as learning the language or taking a TEFL exam.
3 :
Yes, I know Marbella very well. Living and paying rent in Marbella will cost a heck of a lot more than you could ever earn from bar work. Apart from that, there are few jobs here on the Costas. Bar work in Spain is poorly paid with long hours. You are working and everyone else are enjoying themselves. Come and have a good holiday and forget the work.
4 :
I say be positive and do it. Why? Because of the experience, sure the ecomomy in Spain is lousy but getting a bar job isn't about making money it is about a once-in-a-lifetime event that you will never forget. Just ask me about orange picking in Greece and my eyes light up!
5 :
It's all about contacts so coming over in May is a good idea as long as you bring enough money to stay here say 3-4 weeks and a trip back home in case things don't work out right. Why not taking a cheap package to some nearby resort, like Torremolinos or similar? From there you can go to the different bars in the area and explore the possibilities, meet people... despite the negative comments, people are still being hired for summer jobs and an English native speaker working in an English bar will NOT be competing with the average unemployed Spanish waiter. Just make sure you have enough money to fly back home at any given moment.

hahahahha theres no work for the locals, never mind the foreigners. bar work is low paid, long hours and very competetive. you need an NIE number before anyone will employ you and that takes time to get.just come for a good holiday and make enquiries while you are here. if you speak spanish your chances are higher, tho not that much. there is great competition for jobs here, and many south americans come just for summer work, speaking the language of course. if youve no experience, it will go against you as well.I would say wait till the economy recovers, if it ever does, and enjoy a holiday here instead.
