Re: Any tilers on here working in spain now? Or have before? | | Have lived in Spain for 41/2 years and am fully legal (unlike many). Took a long time to build up clients & contractors, as alot of brits come for the sun, fags & beer and are very unreliable. Have been to many jobs that are half finished by brits to be told by the client we won't have another british tradesmen in the house.
Anyone coming out here, do your homework and bring plenty of cash to last you for at least six months as you wont find work immediately, also you will be competing against not only the Spanish, but Rumanian (who work for 30€ a day) and Morocans. Don't come out on a whim!!!! Seen too many people head back to Blighty penniless.
Anyway, I love it here, although you do work harder for less money but, the quality of life is far superior |
