The job market in Alicante

Tourism and hospitality dominate and are strongly seasonal. Around them sits a services economy serving the foreign resident population, and a small but real technology and outsourcing presence. The EU Intellectual Property Office is based here and is a notable multilingual employer.

Main industries

Tourism and hospitality, real estate and construction, retail and services for foreign residents, footwear and manufacturing inland around Elche and Elda, and a small technology sector.

English-speaking work

Unusually accessible for a city this size, because so much of the local economy serves English-speaking residents. Estate agency, customer service, care work, hospitality and administrative roles at English-speaking businesses all come up regularly.

Typical salaries

Below the Spanish average. Seasonal hospitality contracts follow the sector convenio. The EU agency and the technology sector are the exceptions at the upper end.

Cost of living

Affordable by Spanish standards, though coastal demand pushes rents up in summer. Short-term lets make winter lettings easier to find and cheaper than summer ones.

Getting around

Trams up the coast, buses, and a compact walkable centre. The airport is a major low-cost hub. Inland towns and the coastal strip generally need a car.

Where people live

The centre and Ensanche Diputación are central. San Juan and Playa de San Juan are beach-side and popular with foreign residents. Inland districts are cheaper. Elche, twenty minutes away, is a considerably cheaper option with its own economy.

Useful local resources

LABORA and SEPE. The large foreign-resident community means English-language local media, business associations and community groups carry a meaningful share of job openings informally.
