Hola a todas.
I am currently teaching EFL in Thailand, and I am considering relocating to Spain. From my research on the ‘net, I am particularly interested in Granada or Seville.
If I manage to obtain a teaching position before arriving in Spain, my employers may be able make suggestions regarding accomodation. But if this doesn’t occur… Can anybody suggest budget accomodation available in Spain for a period of 2-3 months which is basic but secure, where I can live while I get things organised. When I was in Spain some time ago there were pensiones available which would suit my needs perfectly. I have tried looking online, and the only budget accomodation I can find is for holidaymakers, not for those wishing to stay long-term.
Any suggestions are welcome and gratefully received.

Have a look here, Patatas.

These are links for inexpensive accommodation in Granada. 

However, it would be advisable, if at all possible, to have that teaching post lined up before you come over here to Spain.  Work is very thin on the ground at the moment.

Thank you for the link, it looks very useful.
Also thank you for the advice to have a post lined up. I will certainly try to do that.

Patatas:

You could also try contacting the University of Granada on this link
http://ve.ugr.es/pages/alojamiento/index
(this is the department of the university which assists with student accommodation, so it is likely they might know of inexpensive places to stay).
Worth a try

And here are two “escuelas de idiomas” in Granada.  You might like to approach them as regards a job.
