Teach English in Spain

Ahh…bullfighting, beaches and bumping bottoms as you boogie the night away. Where else can you get all the taste of old-style Europe with cobblestone roads, gothic cathedrals and castles yet still the surf, sun, sand and some of the world’s best shindigs. Throw in some of the best nightlife on the planet, renowned wines and tasty tapas and you’ve got a lifestyle only dreamed about by most English speakers.

Each year thousands of people go to Spain to visit and either keep going back or look for a way to live there permanently. It’s got to make you wonder. With 45 million people in a very warm place, you would think stress flowed in the streets. Not with the Spaniards. Life is laid back and meant to be enjoyed. You work so that you can live, not live for your work. “Manana por manana” as they say – let tomorrow take care of tomorrow.

You can see that in the Spanish vocabulary that has inched it’s way into English. Siesta and fiesta are two words that come to mind right away. Sleep and party. The siesta (a nap and escape from the daytime heat) i s not as common as it used to be, but shops still close up in the afternoon and the locals are in no rush to adopt a 9-5 mentality.

And then there’s the fiesta, a tradition that will never die with the Spanish. It’s a culture of late nights, with the locals participating in “el Marche” – going from bar to bar for drinks up to six or seven in the morning. On weekends and in most major cities, there are more people on the street at 5 in the morning than 5 in the afternoon. Not drunk, vomiting and fighting like you would expect, but just dancing and singing. Spain is a country where life is lived on the street. And they’ve taken it to new levels with some of the world’s greatest festivals.

A wonderful, warm climate, an amazing coastline of beaches, a relaxed atmosphere, incredible street festivals, friendly people and great food (Spain is the world’s largest producer of olive oil, Europe’s largest producer of citrus fruit and one of the top-wine producers in the world). Where else can you find so many life-embracing ideas, universally accepted, all packed into a little European country? Spain is certainly one of the best places in the world to live and enjoy life, and what better place to teach English than in a place that will teach you about life.
