My girlfriend and I are considering the idea of moving to spain towards the end of the year,not Barcelona though! I know nothing about the place really,can't speak spanish (she can) and want to know how hard it would be to get a job doing print work or something. Anyone working over there and enjoying it?

You might want to search the PVN for 'Spain', where the topic of wages in Barcelona was discussed quite recently.
Also, give this thread a bump during working hours mid-week as the people who can assist you are off out enjoying themselves!

Right, good idea. Forgot about that, unfortunately it's Monday morning for me already.

ah, you poor devil - that's what you get for living in the future, i guess - can't have everything if you've got the benefit of hover-boots and protein pills!
I now notice you specifically said 'NOT Barcelona'. My bad.
I think, overall, unless you're incredibly talented and lucky, Spain's not the best place to go and look for the average well-paid design job. There're already a lot of talented people there, scratching around for the same small pool of work.
If you're content to get a less glamorous job and put up with it whilst you build up a pool of freelance work (esp. from ex-pats etc), you can make a good career - but you'll just need to be patient and content working on less-than-inspiring commercial projects.
Best listen to someone else though - i've never done design work over there and am basing my opinion from what i know of friends who work in the very north and very south of the country - ie. not he big metropolitan centres.
Whatever - good luck! - it can be a wonderful place to live - the cost of living is cheaper and can be more enjoyable and satisfying than an better-paid position in London could garner.
