Wrong trade . Tiled floors and rugs in Spain. I may be wrong but I don't know many people with carpet in Spain

I don't know a single person with a fitted carpet, and I've lived here for over thirteen years.

Sorry I tend to agree it would be a bit like being a ski instructor in costa Blanca, in fact you may get more trade as a ski instructor than as a carpet fitter. We saw over 100 properties before we bought non of them had fitted carpet and to be honest I would have thought it strange also I’ve never even seen anywhere selling anything other than rugs or tiles.

If you are a tiler too I could imaging a good trade for English speaking timer? Sorry for the bad news re carpet fitting opportunities

Without a defined and needed trade you will end up in something unskilled and low paid. Which off season may not even be able to secure.

Mindful most of our posts are not very positive, but that's sadly the reality of the situation

Hi Mark, did you move to Benidorm? We will be looking for a carpet fitter    soon. We are in central Benidorm. Also, do you know where we can view    carpet samples locally too? Thanks Ron.

Here we go mate, a job, one in a million.

If you are a builder in this country you will make a fortune, but carpet fitting, is for the UK only.

They dont even want carpets in Caravans.
