I currently live and work in Madrid and I love the city as it has reopened up after the pandemic. I lived in Granada for 3 years prior and I also love that city. What I love about Madrid is it is a very safe city compared to London or, where I'm from, Leeds. The social aspect of life here and the nice climate add to quality of life and moving here was one of the best choices I ever made

My love is the Coast of Galicia especially around the Fiords near Muros - off the beaten Atlantic path, but a most enchanting largely unknown area! Feels, smells and is similar to the Oregon/Washington/British Columbia coasts of US/Canada.

I flew from Valencia to Paris a couple of weeks ago on Vueling. Low fare, and a nicely organized flight. The airport is very modern.

Thanks. Very informative and excellent narration.

My family moved here to Spain back in early 90s when I was still a young teenager. Now, I have my own family, married to a local española & we got 3 kids. But every now and then, we still visit the Philippines coz I still got some relatives there. Spain & Philippines got almost same lifestyle, cultures, religion, language, foods (not into spicy), tradition, etc. This will always be my second home away from Manila. 😇

I would say that Barcelona, Valencia and Madrid are very obvious and probably exhausted. Bilbao is a good option but only if you have top quality skills and an international CV. It's pointless if you don't. Malaga has, in my opinion, been a great dynamic city for the past 20 years. As a kind of modern Andalusian powerhouse I think it is number one. Interest and money has been poring in. I would say that there are a lot of better opportunities under the radar but those involve serious lifestyle questions. Valladolid is a good option in many ways with more options (Malaga excepted). Unfortunately, job opportunities are so scarce in Spain. Unless you are an international asset you wont get a job that pays well.

¿Qué tal Stu? Este video es fenomenal. Me encantaron las imágenes y el guion. Greetings from South Carolina, USA. This is the first time I have commented on any of your videos. I’ve been watching you since the pandemic started. Keep up the excellent work!

Hola Stuart mill gracias por el vídeo we are starting off from Malaga Wednesday 23 .lovely interesting city have you ever walked el camineto del Rey .Think beer 🍺 is pricey

[martindouglas]

Haven’t been to Madrid May give it a go in October

Imo as an Spaniard Madrid and Barcelona are overestimated places, they are nice places to visit but not to stay there for long periods of time if you are in the age of working (just like most of Spain) if I had to take a place to live I would live in Navarra or Euskadi, both have some of the cleanest cities in Spain and the average highest incomes

Hi Stu, I am 67 year old American construction guy who has built and worked on more than a 1000 homes including building my own home… I have the tools and experience to know when to do the job or pass it on… I live in the Valencia area

So apart from Madrid, coastal cities like Barcelona, Bilbao, Malaga, or Valencia are the way to go for workers. 
But didn't I read somewhere about people starting little B & B type weekend getaways partly supported by Government grants in smaller towns near big cities for workers wanting a rural respite. Any chance I may have missed a video you have already made about such opportunities?

[craphead]

Any big city will have more job opportunities than small ones, Also holiday towns on the coast will have bar and restaurant jobs thats if you like being paid minimum wages... Spain is going through a dragflation period so jobs maybe hard to find I would say..But what do I know....Tony cuenca

[jonathangat]

Helpful. Thank you. I'm going to visit Valencia later this year on what will be the first of several prospecting trips to Spain. I will check out Malaga too.

[stevejcoop]

I live on the Costa del sol. Depending on your profession it can be a great place to find work. There are people here from all parts of the globe .

[EliAcuna]

I’m in the US and trying to move to Spain. Do you know where would be a good place to start looking for a job in Spain? Thank you!

[brimad]

Málaga. Marvelous. Calle Larios for Xmas period!!

Thanks for another interesting video as usual. I m British born and recently relocated to Marbella after over a decade in Latin America. Having retired in my 40s I can not speak to the availability of jobs here however the biggest difference I have notice with in the immigrant British community is the lack of Spanish spoken. This may be only around the costal area but is the complete opposite of the British community in Mexico City and Bogota who are pretty much all bilingual. Returning to live in the U.K. was unfortunately not really an option after Brexit as I have a non British partner and my children although fluent in English ( as well as Spanish and French ) speak with accents . Private schooling in Spain is very reasonably priced compared to the U.K. other plus points include the weather and security especially compared to parts of Latin America .

If you have a remote job or your work possibilities are good I would put Madrid and Barcelona de last on the list, tbh. They offer the most job oportunities, but they are insanely expensive.
