Hi rikb, thanks for your PM. For some reason the Administrator has not enabled me to send replies toPMs ...

Regarding temporary work here in Tenerife to practise your Spanish, there is not much hope. You could try a few bars and see if they need staff, but your customers will probably not be Spanish speaking. Spanish bar owners are unlikely to employ you for just a few weeks. Your're better off coming on a cheap holiday or maybe flight only and staying with contacts you have made on the internet and just spending time here for speaking practise. You would be better off going to the more Spanish area in the capital, Santa Cruz, and keeping away from the "funshine" area in the South. You may find a bar or restaurant that would take you on there for a few weeks. Wages would be next to nothing by UK standards.
