My question for you is....if you had to describe travel through Spain in ONE word (probably and adjective) what would that ONE word be? I am developing a unit for school. My unit name will be Travel in Spain: A Study in _____________. If you could please help me complete this assignment based on your extensive experience, I would be extremely appreciative.

I lived not far from there in 1992 (during the Expo) in Triana. And Seville? Don't get me started. I met my wife there (and we're still making gazpacho, dancing sevillanas, and now have three kids). We go to Spain every summer. Thanks for your great tip. Also, if you aren't considering Granada as a place to live, do it now. My favorite city in Spain and a most excellent place to live the good life. ¡Buena suerte! Lobo Dina:

I am actually planning right now to head over to Spain to teach English. I am going to go through a school there that guarantees employment and gives you a much-needed visa! Here's the website: http://www.ttmadrid.com/index.php I am so excited, I can't wait. I lived in Sevilla for 3.5 months and fell in love with the country. I may try to go back there after I get my certification. If for no other reason to go back to this little bar called "Lo Nuestro" on Calle Betis... I had the time of my life there dancing to the sevillanas and drinking "tinto." Of course, I loved Madrid too, so I may just stay there. It's such a beautiful country and I can't wait to go back again! Hey everyone!

The experience was absolutely wonderful. The hotels and dining were first rate (and I'm very picky), but there was another component which took me by surprise. The tour was punctuated by storytelling, poetry, and music conveying the history of Andalucia in such a compelling way that I remember it still. Imagine making history fun! Thank you "El Lobo" for a trip of a lifetime!! My first trip to Spain was with “El Lobo” as one of my guides on an Ole Spain tour. The experience was absolutely wonderful.

It's very difficult to get a teaching job without actually being in Spain ever since the creation of the EU (Brits can get jobs since they have European papers). That said, small institutes and camps are always looking for natives to teach English. Any city in Spain with a university has tons of students around looking for English classes. I'd say pick a city (Granada would be my first pick, and then Salamanca second, and then Sevilla third), walk around the university area and post signs offering your services. You'll be able to buy a mobile phone once you're in Spain so that people can call you. Offer private classes until you can find an institute that will hire you, or just build your practice little by little. Send me your e-mail if you'd like to discuss this more. I taught English in Granada for almost a year . . . . Lobo Wil,

He and his partner guide are amazing. Their passion, knowledge, unbridled enthusiasm and attention to every detail assured that the trip was INCREDIBLE! It was my first visit to Spain. I can't imagine any better way to be introduced to that extraordinary country. Go on an Ole Spain tour!!!!!!!! It will change your life, really.
