Typical jobs

Waiting and bar staff. Kitchen roles from commis to head chef. Hotel reception and front of house. Housekeeping. Events and banqueting. Tour guiding and activity work. Resort entertainment. Management roles across all of these.

What it pays

Set largely by the hospitality convenio for each province, which sets minimum pay by role — these are public documents and worth looking up for the province you are moving to. Tips are a supplement in Spain rather than a substantial part of pay as in the US. Overtime and split shifts (jornada partida) are common and should be checked before accepting.

Requirements and qualifications

Entry-level roles need availability more than qualifications. Kitchen roles want experience. Reception roles want languages — English almost always, German and French frequently on the coasts and islands. Food handling certification (carné de manipulador de alimentos) is quick to obtain and often expected.

Who is hiring

Hotel chains along the coasts and in the cities. Independent restaurants and bars. Resort operators in the Balearics and Canaries. Event and catering companies. Cruise operations in the port cities.

Contracts and conditions

Seasonal contracts (fijo discontinuo and temporary) are standard on the coasts, running roughly Easter to October. Spain's 2021 labour reform pushed employers towards the fijo discontinuo form, which gives recall rights between seasons — worth understanding, because it is materially better than a plain temporary contract.
