The town next to Madrid that offers housing and a salary of 1,600 euros for moving there
The total number of unemployed in Spain reached just over two and a half million in May, the lowest figure for this month since 2008. Furthermore, the data is promising considering that nearly 60,000 people found jobs compared to the previous month. However, if you are not one of the 'lucky' ones with a job, don't worry, as interesting job opportunities sometimes arise.
It's not new that from time to time there are job offers in towns that are part of 'Empty Spain'. The exodus to large cities continues to take its toll on a Spain that is witnessing some of its towns at risk of disappearing.
Initiatives are already being carried out by sparsely populated towns that, to combat extinction, create attractive job offers or incentivize those who dare to move to their area. From welcome kits to free accommodation.
Work and housing (free) in Almadrones
Today, we travel to a town located in Guadalajara that takes just under an hour and a half to reach from downtown Madrid. There, Rebollo has several establishments and offers different vacancies based on qualifications and skills. Welcome to Almadrones.
One of the job offers from this hospitality company in the well-known Area 103 is for a waiter with experience in bar service, dining room, and terrace. Among the requirements, good appearance, social skills, and teamwork capability are necessary, as well as having the proper documentation.
The position is immediately available for full-time work with a permanent contract. It should be noted that hospitality is not an easy job and shifts are rotating, but in return, an interesting salary is offered (starting at 1,000 euros as specified in the job offer), along with a very attractive perk: meals and accommodation included.
This offer is not the only one, as they are also looking for kitchen assistants and cashiers. The former would also have meals and accommodation included, while the cashier position has a considerably better salary, but does not include housing or food.
If you are looking for new job opportunities, these offers may interest you as long as your skills are in the hospitality sector. However, if you enjoy traveling and exploring, stay alert because interesting proposals do pop up from time to time, like this one from months ago where they were looking for a chef to travel with a family around the world.
In short, there are indeed offers available, and it's just a matter of searching and not losing patience. Additionally, moving to a town just an hour and a half from Madrid is a privilege, as it allows you to enjoy peace and tranquility in a unique natural setting.
