Read the Introduction Chapter to the 'Living in Spain' Guidebook. This tells you a little bit about the details and the benefits that you will receive from the up-to-the-moment content.

 Introduction 

You now have in your hands most everything you need to know about how to teach, work, study and intern in Spain - in short, how to live in Spain.

This data is the most up-to-date and comes from hands-on experiences, in-country research, online research, information exchange with the Spanish Consulate and Embassy and Tourist Offices and ongoing relationships with Americans currently living in Spain. There is also a healthy dose of reality in the details as the author lived, worked and taught English in Spain for 6 years.

In this easy to use Guide, you will learn where the jobs are located and how to secure interviews, how to navigate the major airports, which buses and trains are best, which cities have the most to offer, how to stay safe, where the best neighborhoods are and more.

The information you'll find in these pages will walk you step by step through the process of obtaining teaching, work, study and intern positions in Spain.

Covered is the teaching certification issue - is it necessary? Also covered is the work visa challenge, as well as how to find interesting intern opportunities with local Spanish companies. In regards to Study in Spain: we have found that if you plan on taking some Spanish classes when you arrive, you will have a much more rewarding and easy time of this adventure. This holds true for whatever path you decide to take while in Spain, so you will notice as you read on that our continuous recommendation is to participate in a one or two week Spanish language course when you first arrive.

This is all vital information that you will use daily. Our goal is to insure that your experience in Spain is a positive one that will become one of your life's most memorable. It is by design that the Guidebook itself is a sturdy ½ inch suede-vinyl binder, meant to be light enough to pack and take with you and practical enough for you to use daily, including 2 inside pockets for storage.

This Guide is divided into the things you can do while you are living in Spain: Teaching English, Working, Studying and Interning. All of these chapters are broken down into important sections providing you with "how to" step-by-step instruction to ensure success.

Following each Chapter is a "Directory and Resources" section, often pages long, that are replete with the most recent, specific data and contact information possible for your reference now and while in Spain.

Full of history and culture and interesting peoples, Spain lures many each year who come to vacation, learn, explore and absorb. You will come into contact with many different nationalities and types of people - people and situations that you would never encounter in the US. You will be able to say, "I lived abroad in Spain for a while."

Every day will bring diverse challenges that test your patience and expand your tolerance levels. You are not in Kansas anymore, as the saying goes, so your best bet is to change your expectations and try to be as open minded as possible. You may struggle with language barriers over simple things like instructions how to get somewhere, and you will run into fellow Americans embarking on the same interesting path you are.

You will become bi-lingual.

Spain offers you everything you need to make this a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you won't soon forget. Or, perhaps, the type of experience that you aren't willing to give up and will want to continue on for years and years of your life, like I myself did and many others continue to do annually. Unlike so many other countries and cultures, the United States included, Spain tends to be more welcoming, more forgiving. Large numbers of tourists turn into Spanish residents and retirees because of this. You have picked the right place on this planet to redefine and change your life.

Spain receives you, changes you and teaches you. Read on, as the next chapter goes into detail about the Spanish culture, some key differences and how understanding this information will help you to fit in to your new home.
