Work in Spain. (barcelona)

[Trundle]

Ive Been toying with the idea of moving to Barcelona early next year. Id be looking for any work at all when it comes down to it (tree related or not), but would ideally like to carry on climbing! Does anyone know anything of arb work out there, and ways into it? is there a route on to the city council work?

Thanks for any help.

You have to be able to speak Spanish and catalan to work for the council in Barcelona

I guessed that may be he case, the plan would be to get my spanish up to scratch, but i can't see catalan happening anytime soon haha! what about for other aspects of work?

"Lies, Damn lies and Statistics" To be fair there is always work if one is prepared to graft, keep hearing that one here anyway... But living in France I would agree that the language is key.

 

Go for a period of time but don't burn your bridges in the UK i.e. if you own a house rent it out! There's nothing like learning the language 'in country' its a world apart from the language lessons in the UK. Life's short, good luck

As far as I'm aware it's just for government jobs in that region. It's a political thing. I would imagine that Spanish alone would be fine for the private sector. Does anyone know the most common words for arborist in Spanish? I always forget. I agree that you'll find something but have a backup plan.
