Working in Spain

[Rhys666]

Does anyone know what the work situation is like at the southern end of spain, within 100 miles or so of Gibraltar?

I'm currently doing web/interactive TV development using asp/asp.net(c# and vb)/javascript/vbscript. I also know SQL Server pretty well from a developers perspective, and have worked for a longish period in a Windows development environment using vb 6/.net(c#) and MS Office (Uuurrrrgghh!).

Either that or if anyone knows where i'd look for information on work/employment opportunities in that region, that'd be lovely, or what the work rules are in the EU at the moment, (I'm UK based).

Cheers guys!

This is fairly general, not IT specific:

I would strongly advise taking their advice and getting any employment contracts professionally translated unless you can speak/read/write Spanish to almost native level.

If you have a British passport, you shouldn't have a problem going over there to work because of inter country work laws, but you never know.
This one is oriented towards Americans working in Spain, but contains some useful information:
