Destination Guide

Spain’s islands include the Balearics—Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera—and the Canary Islands, including Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. Tourism creates opportunities in hotels, restaurants, finance, reservations, events, maintenance, wellness and guest services, with many seasonal vacancies. Island culture combines Spanish traditions with local food, festivals, music and a strong outdoor lifestyle. Residents enjoy beaches, hiking, water sports and a generally mild climate, although housing can be expensive in popular resorts. EU and EEA citizens can work without a visa but normally need registration and a Spanish tax or identification number. Non-EU applicants require the appropriate work or internship authorisation before starting employment. Relocation usually involves arranging accommodation, health coverage, banking and transport in advance. Barcelona is mainland Spain rather than an island, but similar hospitality opportunities and Mediterranean lifestyle features apply there.
