My recommendation is to look around between October and February to to get real impresson about what you can expect.

Thanks ray, I’m open to anywhere at the moment (south of Torrevieja though) and have hired a car to have a good look around. Doubt very much this will be my only investigative trip and may possibly rent from September for 6 months.

1. Hopefully you drive, if you want a job/work, then it is almost a must.

2. Speaking Spanish does not guarantee a job - it may help to an extent, but a Spaniard will give another Spaniard a job, over an English expat.

3. You can rent cheaply, 10-15 minutes outside of Torrevieja (not sure about costs in Torre), you can rent a 2 bedroom flat - Rojales / Formentera €250 per month.

4. You have a chance of success, starting your own business. Many expats struggle to find work and utilise some of their skills to set up small businesses.

5. There's usually menial work - cleaning, waitressing, bar work - those ones are the easier jobs to find. Office jobs, less so, unless you have a specific skill set which you can utilise or offer.
