All I ever do is work 12 hour shifts day in day out, got no lady (hooray) and all but one of my mates are married (chained) so I really havent got much to lose. I figured why not sell my car, rent my house and go and and chill in the sun for the last drop of my youth

Sounds like a good plan, but why restrict yourself to doorwork? Whatever your P1 sells for should keep you in Sangria for a few months. And in all the tourist places there's all sorts of work if you're there early enough......
Or be a bit more adventurous and just head somewhere you fancy until you get bored there. Travel truly broadens the mind and you'll probably meet dozens of like minded people!
When I went to Ibiza, I was originally just focking around Northern Spain on my mountain bike for a few weeks. Ended up off course somewhat for eight months. Regret that I never did anything else like that (apart from I've just relocated to the states ten years later with my wife's job) as the last nine years I've just spent running up debts and working for the sake of it......
Put a map on the wall and chuck a dart mate.......

Sounds like you have lived a little!
My problem is I have always been Mr. Sensible (yeah I know a sensible doormen dont really exist) I like the map and the dart idea though.

If you're looking for employment go to a tourist area that is frequented by your language group. Lots more fun that way.
The tourist areas pay a bit more also.
Present yourself well and you will be presented properly!
Best of luck.

Check out the prospective place first.
CLEAN casual, clean shaven and good manners.
Relaxed attitude.
Personally, I made excellent money from tips in a few good dining houses.
Back in the 70s, in a Steak House, Ski resort area, $100 week nights and $200+ weekends was not unusual. I would rate that at 250 to 500 by today's dollars.
Go where the Tourist dollars/pounds/drakmas exist. Then go to the best establishments of that area FIRST !!!!!
Again, best of luck to you.

Did the door in Salou for a while when I lost my license over here....didn't mean to but kind of fell into it and decided to stay for a while.
It's normally only seasonal work but like it's been said........no rules and should always work with a local speaking guy....otherwise the "banged his head on the bar" line might not cut it.
Best bet for definate work is to go to one of the greek islands where you get mostly English speaking tourists as the managers of the bars are more willing to have someone speaking the lingo than their cousins cousins cousin.
Bird count goes sky high too![Wink](images/smilies/wink.gif)
and i'm the daddy mac......no contest

I got bored one day, sold the scooby and left my job to go Tenerife for 9 months. Nothing amazing but while all my sucka mates were working on monday morning i was booting about on a jetski with some pals and done 3 hours dj'in each nite.
until you get back you dont realise how much you should have done it ages ago. Its a great idea. You'll meet some great like-minded people too.
now im back in england, similar job as before i left and another scooby. wouldnt mind giving it up again, but the only thing is unless you really get your roots down abroad you cant really get anything to own for yourself - car, flat, etc. Most of the time your living with the cash in your pocket so to speak. hope this helps.

Try to find accomodation that isn't in the tourist areas, more with the locals. I did this by trapsing around the bars that we're in the quiet parts of town and frequented only by the Spanish.
Learning a few phrases now would be a massive advantage mate. People like to think you're trying with the lingo even if you're crap at it, especially the Guardia Civil!!! Being able to tell them I was English, working here, trying to learn Spanish got me out of a few situations and got me lots of help and respect!

I can imagine, my friend who works in Barca says the Spanish can be very ignorant toward him just because they know he is English. Good advice.
