Job search
The Spanish job market is not the most promising one at the moment. Unemployment rates and main occupation sectors vary according to regions. The lowest unemployment can be found in Catalonia, which makes the job search in Barcelona a little bit easier than i.e. in the South of Spain. Furthermore, the main cities of Barcelona and Madrid as well as the Basque country are regarded as rich regions.
It is not too difficult to find a sidejob as a student in Barcelona, if you are flexible and not too focused on a certain job area. A more difficult task is it, however, to look for a short-term job (1, 2 months). But you also have some opportunities i.e. to distribute flyers.
The best address to look for a job in Barcelona is the Sunday edition of the daily paper La Vanguardia. Website: http://www.lavanguardia.es/
