Advice on Housing

If you want, there's a company that I found here in Barcelona called BornLiving (http://www.bornliving.com/). They'll be able to help you find a flat as well as give you advice about jobs, info about the area, stuff to do, places to eat, etc. They also speak English. Hope this helps!

Hey Chris,

I too have had the calling to move to Barcelona, though I have migrated from Australia!

I've come by a couple of accommodation websites that may be helpful: www.easypiso.com and www.loquo.com. This last one in particular is similar to the gumtree website for London, and so has a range of sections including jobs and language skills exchange.

I am new to this process also and don't have that many tips, but as my Spanish skills are still minimal at this time, my strategy was to complete a TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) course, as an entry point into the job market.

Hope this helps.

Hi!

I hope you make it here, I love living in Barcelona

Check this international recruitment agency, they offer jobs in Barcelona and are specialized in the recruitment of non-spanish people. Doesn't matter even if you don't speak Spanish

Other good place to start with is Loquo, as mentioned above, but the problem is that it's not very, ehm, controlled so you will find a lot of crap there as well.

Good luck with your job hunt and moving!
