Hello Mark,

Well, you have an advantage, if you have family in Torrevieja, why not gel?t them to do a bit of scouting for you? I take it you are not fluent in Spanish or indeed, German or Dutch, so you’d be looking to work with Brits mainly. Decide how far from Torrevieja you are willing to travel then get them to check out the gyms and distribute your CV. As a temporary job, you may even be able to get something in hotel animation, worth checking out with hotels who deal mainly with British holidaymakers or send a CV to the tour operators, the season will be starting up soon.
Before coming out there, it’d be a good idea to your qualifications stamped with the Hague Apostille, this will show that the certificates are genuine. Don’t expect to earn much out here though, although with private classes you can suppliment other things. Again, rope your family in to find out what the competition is.

Good luck.
