How to Work Abroad in Granada, Spain
Overview
Prepare for Jobs in Dublin, Ireland
Set goals
Before you book that flight or start firing off applications, take a moment to figure out your why. Having clear goals will make the whole experience way more meaningful (and way less chaotic).
- Find work that supports your time abroad. Choose a job that helps you stay longer, travel more, or simply live comfortably in Granada.
- Improve your Spanish through real-world use. Make a goal to speak it daily at work, in shops, or with your flatmates.
- Keep your schedule balanced. Aim for a job that gives you time to actually enjoy Granada, not just pay rent.
Understand the benefits
Granada offers more than scenic views and tapas. Here’s why working here hits different:
- Work-to-live mindset. You’ll work hard—but when the day ends, it really ends. Siesta culture isn’t a myth.
- International crowd. The university and tourism scene mean it’s easy to meet people from everywhere.
- Boost your résumé. Working in a multilingual, multicultural city like Granada can seriously level up your future job applications.
Things to know
Here are some local things worth knowing before settling in:
- Language - Many jobs don’t require fluency, but basic Spanish opens doors (and hearts).
- Accommodation - Expect smaller kitchens, no dryer, and charming old buildings. Some jobs include housing, which is a huge bonus.
- Culture - Greetings come with cheek kisses. People talk close. It’s not rude, just different.
Fields
Choose a Field
Granada may feel like a relaxed, historic town, but its job market has some solid opportunities, especially for international workers. Here are a few fields where you’re most likely to find work:
Teaching English
With a huge student population and growing demand for English, teaching jobs are everywhere. If you’re TEFL-certified, you can find work in language academies, private tutoring, or even casual conversation classes. Hours are flexible, and no two days are the same.
Hospitality
Granada’s tourism scene is always buzzing, which means jobs in hostels, hotels, cafes, and tapas bars are widely available. Speaking multiple languages is a plus, and evening shifts are common. It's fast-paced, but you’ll meet people from all over the world.
Au Pairing
If you enjoy working with kids, becoming an au pair is a great way to live in Granada without breaking the bank. Many roles come with free housing and meals, and you’ll get an inside look at Spanish family life. It’s a full-time commitment, but deeply rewarding.
Getting Started
Tips & Advice
Finding a job in Granada doesn’t have to feel like a full-time job in itself. Here’s how to kick things off smoothly and confidently:
1. Get matched
Skip the endless job boards. Use the GoAbroad Online Advisor to get personalized job suggestions that actually fit your skills, goals, and interests.
2. Choose a program
Once you’ve got some leads, sign up for a MyGoAbroad account. You’ll be able to bookmark your favorites, compare details side by side, and keep track of what’s worth pursuing.
3. Funding & scholarships
Even if you’re earning abroad, the costs can add up, think flights, rent, and the visa process. Use GoAbroad’s Scholarships & Deals to look for funding, or create a FundMyTravel campaign to get extra support from friends and family.
4. Apply
If a job stands out to you, click the “Apply Now” or “Inquire Here” buttons found on the program listing to connect with the provider. They’ll guide you through the application process and can answer any questions you might have.
5. Get your essentials
Sort out the key pieces before you go so you’re not scrambling when you land:
- Visa - Most non-EU citizens will need one to work in Spain legally. Start early; it can take time.
- Flight - Book once you have your visa confirmed to lock in better rates and avoid last-minute chaos.
- Travel Insurance - Always a good idea to protect yourself in case of travel hiccups or health issues.
- Accommodation - Jobs may include housing, but not always. Start browsing listings ahead of time.
Getting the essentials lined up early means you’ll be able to settle in faster and start enjoying Granada from day one.

This is most beautiful place in the whole
June 21, 2023by: Fatumata Touray - United KingdomI went to Sweden and Africa in the last few months. I remember going to Sweden and I was just so amazed how beautiful the country was and I went on so much adventures with my family and I got to see the place that my dad used grow up in when he was a little child, little kid. I went to Africa and I was my first time ever going there because I had so many stories about how beautiful it is. My mum always told me that she always loved Africa and it was always a pity a piece of her every time she goes there and sees how much she loves the country. So when I went to Sweden and Africa, I got the same feeling that my dad and my mum got when they went to their home countries and I felt like I wanted to do something like this as well. :-) He he
Work experience in real Spain!
December 02, 2022by: Sandra Rajatowsky - United KingdomEverything was really lovely. I had a great time. Really good teachers and the general atmosphere was great. I would recommend. I didn't know much before I went but was recommended by a friend. Great place and area. First I took some weeks of Spanish courses in Bilbao and then I went to a hotel to work there. The application with you was very easy and I was happy that you helped me with all my questions and arranged the interview. This made the process very easy. Also Jose was always quick in replying and helping me. The internship tasks were very accurate to my studies and even exceeded my expectations. They varied and were explained very well. So I was happy with the internship and it helped me a lot with getting an impression of the daily life in this business. The conditions given by the company were good. They provided me everything promised. The colleagues are very nice and the relation between the coworkers is very important in this company. This makes the stay a very pleasant one. So in conclusion I was very satisfied with the chosen internship. It was interesting to learn new things and I was happy in the workspace.
I loved my internship in the hotel!
June 12, 2019by: Louis Clinton - United KingdomGreat team and work environment, solid learning skills, one of the best internships in the market. Getting the chance to do internship in 2015 at a 4 star hotel I gained experience of the best techniques. This type of internship fit very well with my professional career expectations and has inspired me to keep involved in the Hospitality Distribution Industry. Challenge the established order of hotels has made me be even more motivated to pursue a career where you can make things happen.
Super experience learning and working
June 09, 2019by: Sean May - United StatesI found the process with Instituto Hemingway very easy. The website is simple and helpful. I was recommended to take at least a couple of weeks of Spanish courses before going to the internship at a top hotel and this is what I did. I found it really helpful not only to improve my Spanish but also to get used to new way of life. The internship I made in Spain was matching my expectations. The tasks were as announced in the interview, which was a brand new experience for me. Few things were not mentioned during the interview, as the fact that the hotel was a 4 star hotel close to beach. As it was announced on the application and during the interview, the hours and work per week and the wage were tough. I worked 40 hours/week and the wage was 200€/month, which I found consequent for this kind of internship, demanding a lot of energy and responsibilities. Despite all that, I made my best and concentrated all my energy and determination on this internship. My colleagues were nice people who welcomed me very well. My general experience was intense; it was very interesting to discover a new environment of work, and I liked to work at the hotel. I really wanted to discover the bartending area, and I discovered a new environment, where I learned a lot. Moreover, working with people from all over the world was great, that was what I wanted, so I'm very happy with this experience.
A lovely time in Spain learning and working
April 21, 2019by: Sandra Fortuny - United StatesProgram: Jobs in Spas and Resorts in Spain
Instituto Hemingway was truly a great help. It's a group of great professionals who helped me in everything I needed, always giving the information that I requested. Without them, I could not have found the company that I did an internship in. I really liked to do an internship in the company. All members of the company were very welcoming and friendly. About my internship, it was and it is the best thing in my life. I really really enjoyed it. It was something different but people made it super nice and easy for me. They were supporting, caring and nice and they taught me a lot of things at the same time. But I need to be honest, in the beginning, it was hard. I didn't expect to work like that, I am talking about split shifts every day because I was told that I would do that occasionally but it was every day actually. But in the end, it all worked out because if I knew that before I wouldn't go. In my opinion, this is an amazing opportunity for young people to try something new, learn different stuff and meet beautiful people. I can definitely say that I met people for life. They were my family all time long and I can not thank them enough for everything they did for me. In the end, all I can say is that I am already looking for another internship
I enjoyed so much working and living in Spain!
March 06, 2019by: Maria Strada - AustriaProgram: Jobs in Spas and Resorts in Spain
I came to Spain to do an internship where in a hotel in Northern Spain. The placement is in is a really beautiful place and it was great to live by the beach as the weather there was amazing. I worked as a receptionist in the hotel there and I really enjoyed it and gained a lot of experience. First of all a big thanks to Instituto Hemingway for organising this internship for me. The whole process was very simple. Regarding the internship it was all mostly a positive experience. I feel like I learned a lot at my time with the company.
Staying in Spain at the best prices!
February 15, 2019by: Lars Blandy - GermanyI was extremely lucky to complete an internship in Spain this year. I met so many amazing people and had the best support from Instituto Hemingway! I loved the combination of social events with the other interns while taking Spanish courses and the internship itself after the first weeks previous to the internship. I quickly found myself feeling at home in Spain and made friends for life! It allowed me to grow as a person and develop my professional experience. I was also applying for jobs at the time and I was successful in gaining a position the day after returning home! I have no regrets and wish I could do it all over again! I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to travel and gain professional experience at the same time! This experience has made me realise anything is possible and to make the most of any opportunity that comes your way.
Working and learning Spanish
February 15, 2019by: John Power - United StatesDefinitely a 5-star rating for Instituto Hemingway. I am currently a third-year under-graduated student from tourism and they helped me with searching for an internship at top hotel. It was the time of my life in a beautiful city. Before that, I had to take some weeks of Spanish courses with Instituto Hemingway. I really felt supported during the whole process. Even though there is a lot to do to get a job abroad as a student and I am pretty sure they work with a lot of us the turnaround time has been always quick from the beginning until now. Now I can say that I enjoyed real Spain, got fluent in Spanish and had a wonderful time,
Excellent customer service
February 15, 2019by: Salem Farah - QatarMr Jose, you helped me SO MUCH. the staff at Instituto Hemingway are so helpful you will get such help and hospitality nowhere else in the world. They are proactive and work extremely hard for you in order to help you find an internship that suits. Mr Jose at Hemingway spent a whole day helping me and trying to get an interview for me in a matter of a day which was very difficult and even then he kept in contact to give me tips on how to score the interview. the staff act like family to you, extremely helpful and understanding. LOVE THE COMPANY SERVICE! Thank you Mr Jose. It felt like they were a company right here in my city. I highly recommend this company when looking for an internship abroad. They will not disappoint!!
Great gap year choice
February 15, 2019by: Francis Matthew - United StatesHello, My name is Francis Mathew I have recently returned from my 3 month program in Spain. It was the most amazing experience I could have asked for. No matter what issues occurred or arised the issue was addressed and resolved in an instant. They couldn’t have made the very daunting challenge of moving overseas any easier. They also ensure you experience every part of the culture. I was able to make life long friends and experience interning in my field while also finding a second home in Spain. This program also brought to light the beauty in traveling. No matter where I was in Europe I knew I could always call anyone from Instituto Hemingway and they’d assist the best the can. Working in country was also seamless for me. A big concern of mine was transportation and they made It very easy to understand and allowed us to situate ourselves with a walking tour the second day we were there. I would recommend to anyone and everyone. Thanks Instituto Hemingway

Working in Spain
December 12, 2018by: Ashley Peacock - AustraliaProgram: Numerous Job Opportunities in Spain
I was very hesitant at first to move and work in a hotels. But everyone is very helpful with providing information about working in Spain, money is okay but you can still save which is a good thing. You get food from the accommodation/hotel you are staying in and the work is fun! Such a good time working in Spain!
Learning Spanish while working was a great experience
July 22, 2018by: Donald Rivera - United KingdomProgram: Jobs in Spas and Resorts in Spain
My experience with Instituto Hemingway was absolutely amazing. I got so much out of it. From improving my Spanish to traveling all over Spain, it was definitely the best 3 months of my life. I met so many amazing people, some who will be friends for life. I highly recommend taking the 3-4 weeks taking Spanish courses before going to work to a hotel.
Hospitality management in Spain
February 04, 2018by: Dena West - CanadaI learned a lot about Spanish culture and food. I also got to travel to places I have always wanted to visit and have studied in the past. This was a great company, family feeling. This was a fun position to work as you meet new people every day from all over the world. Property was in great shape, management needed to make changes and did so to better serve guests. Great experience. property was restructuring the management levels which caused a little stress among staff but it was needed
