Help!!! Thanks!

[DVR6K]

Hi everyone, sorry this isn´t in Spanish but I wouldn´t know how to put the message across!

Basically, I have to be in Spain working until June as part of my university course.

One of my flatmates has illegally kicked me out of the flat and I am about to tell the police about his illegal goings-on and therefore will not stay in the flat anyway. I am going back to England soon to collect my thoughts and cool off because if I stay here it´ll get violent.

Anyway, I have 5 months to go until June and need to work! I am not coming back to Madrid but would love to try another part of Spain.

Does anyone know if it will be possible to get a flat for 5 months in Spain? Does anyone know if it will be possible to get a job for 5 months in Spain?? Any help would be appreciated I am stuck out on my own here and don´t know where to turn.

Pako, can I come and clean the tower at AGP? I´ll do it for free as long as I can sleep there too!

Sorry to load you with all this information but I can always trust PPrune folk to help out in a crisis!

Thanks!

Hi Rupert,

Sorry to hear your story. Anyway I don't know if you have to stay in Madrid till June or anywhere in Spain will do.

. .You must know that getting a job here is not an easy thing, but if you send me an e mail with your backgroung, I can try here in Córdoba. Unfortunately, as I am myself a guest here, cannot offer you a place to stay, but I can ask around.

Good luck!!

Hi Joaquin,

Thanks for the reply. I am very grateful for the assistance you have offered, but Cordoba was where this to55er came from who kicked me out and he regularly goes home to see his parents so I am afraid I will decline your generous offer! I am trying to get away from him!!

A change of location from Madrid would be preferable though, yeah.

Thanks again!

Do u think Cordoba is a small British Village with one pub, one chemist, one-post office and one church??? http://www.smilies.nl/sad/nixweiss.gif

Xenia, con todo el respeto que me mereces.. .Este hombre está en una situación cr'tica...ha recurrido a vosotros en busca de ayuda. Muy probablemente cada vez que alguien responde algo el reciba una notificación por email, y muy probablemente chequee el foro cada media hora en busca de una respuesta. No es mi intención cohartar tu derecho a expresarte, pero desear'a hacerte saber que lo que menos él necesita es una discusión sobre si Córdoba es como un pequeño pueblo británico o no, o si tiene un pub, una farmacia, etc.... .Desde mi posición no puedo ayudarle. Yo he hecho preguntas en este foro y todos vosotros, inclu'do tu han sido muy amables en respondérmelas. Esperemos poder darle una mano a este hombre.

Mis más cordiales saludos,

HB.

Hollow Blade...es una lastima que no entiendas mi particular "sentido del humor" <img src="frown.gif" border="0"> . .Si quieres que sea sincera publicamente, y bien ...porquè no!!!!. .Lo que me saca la piedra es que Joaquin (quien es un muy querido amigo mio)se ofrece como ayuda y le viene en respuesta una serie de pretenciones <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> . .Yo pienso, aun sin ser Espa#ola, que si buscas trabajo y alojamiento en Madrid, pues lo ideal seria mirar en los periodicos locales. . .http://www.smilies.nl/iconss/iconbl_paw.gif

Xenia, yo si entend' el sentido de tu frase y no le veo ninguna maldad. Me parece que este chico tiene una gran "empanada mental" y lo mejor que podria hacer es retornar a UK para recapacitar.

DVR6K. .As Joaquin says, to get a job in Spain is very difficult, unless you decide to collect strawberrys in Huelva working 12 hours a day for a ridiculuos salary. Sorry to say no extra place to sleep in the tower, and the cleaning is done by the airport sevice.. .You better sit down for a while an take your time to decide what's the best for you at this moment.

to find jobs , the better season is late spring and sumer, you could esasily get to work as a waiter on the coastal cities (Valencia , benidorm ,alicante ,marbella , etc....).. .I`m from valencia, and in winter, as another pruner pointed out,agricultural jobs are available, but those jobs are hard, although the pay is not bad if you take in account you don't need any qualification (you can expect to make up to 60 E / 10.000 per day collecting oranges for 6 or 7 hours a day).. .I know a couple of irish pubs in valencia wich employ english people ,one is called "saint patricks" (and it is located at Gran via Germanias, Valencia) and the other is "Sally o'brien" (located in Avenida Aragón, also in Valencia), sorry i cannot give you the complete adress (i mean the numbers), but you can try the website of paginas amarillas (that is the spanish yellow pages) to find out the phone number.. .i hope it helps you, good luck!!
