Just came back from a great time in Denia, Alicante, Spain.
I'm seriously considering moving there in a couple of years, ive heard the design scene is mostly in madrid tho etc.
Anyone think there are many jobs in alicante? any urls?
Suppose i could be a waiter, or sumthin else, i can't stay in this country......when u gotta go u gotta go.
advice?

sure you will find work in Real State magazines... in Denia thera are loads... and the job pays well... and the weather too!

i come from bcn. i was living and working there..... not to bad the scene there, but too many people into fashion and not into real design.... i think you know what i mean...
i think the best design studios from spain come from bcn.

I spent a 1&1/2 year in bcn, I think the spanish design scene is very good and has a very personnal identity.
There are a lot of studios but I don't think it's that easy to find work in one of them (depends of your skills, claro) and overall, I think they don't pay that well, for what I know.
I advice you to move to bcn or madrid...
some links, could help:

goygoygoygoygoygoygoygoygoygoygo... is right. the studios in spain pay shit. sometimes you can find a well paid job, but just sometimes.... most of the spanish creative directors and bosses are selfish and obsessed with work. that obsession with competitivity and design is the main reason of he high level in spain, i think.
anyway i am rotting in germany and dreaming about my stuff in bcn....:_(

Barcelona is good wen your name is:
Juli Capella (FAD director)
Mariscal ( Ilustrator with designer complex)
Custo Dalmau (Tshits designer)
or Joan Clos (major)if this is not your name you haven got posibilities ...

I'm also getting sad when I think about bcn, it's a beautiful place to live. there are so many thing to do in the same place! catalunya is beautiful, to.But it's not easy to get recognition from the design scene.
I also think catalan people can be very "protective" : they'll give priority to a catalan if two personn of same level are competting for a vacation.ow got to mention those very well-know-and-respected studios in bcn:
