I grew up in a Spanish speaking country so am naturaly fluent in the lingo. I also hold fATPL etc etc, and have tried several avenues to getting a job in Spain, but have come to the conclusion that the only way you are going to get one is if you know someone who'll put you forward. Fullstop. I stand to be corrected, but that's what my enquiries have revealed sadly.
Hopefully a bit more helpful than thge above.

The couple of Spanish flying instructors I worked with in Jerez were all of the opinion that their indiginous airlines hiring practices were incredibly opaque.
It seems ones Father already being a Captain in the company was a distinct advantage etc.

I was approached by a Spanish fATPL holder at Bristol the other week asking if the airline I fly for was hiring. I asked him what the situation was in Spain, his reply was the Spanish invented the phrase "it's not what you know, it's who you know".

You need someone with "enchufe", who is plugged in, and he will be your "palanca" or lever, to get what you want.
There is a thread on these lines running on the Spanish language forum.
