My website stats have revealed people have landed on the site whilst searching for information on bar jobs in Lloret de Mar, so I will post some details here. Many people come to [tag]Lloret de Mar[/tag] to work for the [tag]tourist season[/tag], as I myself did, back in 1981. Lloret de Mar is a lively tourist spot situated on the [tag]Costa Brava[/tag] about 70km north of [tag]Barcelona[/tag].
Although there are not as many [tag]bars[/tag] and [tag]pubs[/tag] as when I arrived in Lloret, the place is still awash with them, and the vast majority will take on extra staff for the summer months. If you are hoping to work in Lloret de Mar during the summer, I have good news and bad news for you- first the good news. There is plenty of work for 2 or 3 months and the chances of finding employment are high.
The bad news? you will be required to work long hours, often 7 days a week, and in many cases will be poorly paid, hence the likelihood of finding employment. If looking for work, the best time to arrive is during the first 2 weeks of June when the businesses begin to pick up after the relatively quiet month of May- these first 2 weeks are ideal as the employment seeking college students have yet to arrive- the majority arrive during the last week of June.
