Information needed

Hi Pauline
I would not be being realistic if I did not tell you how hard things are at the moment - many shops and restaurants/bars are closing due to the recession.

I suggest you research the local papers to get a better feel they all have web sites:
Round Town News
Coastrider
The Leader

Remember both the benefits and healthcare systems work differently here and are nowhere as generous as the UK.

Also I suggest you research all aspects of your move very thoroughly from official sites

hi rob, thankyou for your honesty on my move to spain & for the link & addresses on where i can do a more indepth research for work, i realise that finding work is hard, as it is everywhere, Ireland was once a top tourist destination with a great selection of places to visit, alas with the recession here this is no longer the case, the weather factor is also a main reason as we cannot guarentee good weather & people want to get away to somewhere hot rather than historical or places of interest. I will use the information given to me & if you can think of any thing else that will help i will be very appreciated
yours sincerly
pauline

Pauline - I think your best plan is to play your 'Irish card' and approach the Irish bars for contacts etc - Paddys Point is the biggest and very well known. It is actually in La Zenia about 15km south of Torrevieja. Good luck. And remember in July/August its 35-40 degrees here and even hotter in those kitchens. I did a bar job years ago - hot work!
