Can Canadians find work in bars/restaurants/tourism for short periods without a work permit in Barcelona?

Question

I'm looking for people who may have been successful finding work in Spain without a work permit, temporary jobs in tourism/bars/restaurants for a couple months, part-time. Were you paid cash? Is it impossible to find this kind of work as a non-European? I'm traveling to Spain in May for the summer.

Answer 1

In other words, u want to work "illegally" during summer? LoL...am sure u can find some but depends on if the employer wants to hire u, coz that can cost them a hefty fine.Good Luck tho & Cheers! :)

Answer 2

Unless you have a work permit , you are not allowed to work in the European Union ( That includes Spain).
