Destination Guide

Spain’s main island destinations include the Balearic Islands—Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera—and the Canary Islands, including Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. Tourism creates regular opportunities in hotels, restaurants, bars, events, housekeeping and guest services, especially during the summer season. Life is generally outdoors-oriented, with beaches, warm weather, local festivals and a relaxed social culture. Rent can be high in popular resort areas, so staff accommodation or shared housing is worth investigating. EU and EEA citizens can work with registration and a Spanish identification number. Non-EU applicants normally need an appropriate work permit, while students may require an internship agreement and visa conditions. Barcelona is on mainland Spain rather than an island, but offers excellent transport links to the Balearic Islands.
