Living and working in Andújar

Andújar is a small town located 30 minutes from Jaen, in Andalucía. It has all of the amenities that you expect from a small town, the only disadvantage to Andújar and most small towns is the variety of restaurants, you generally have Spanish restaurants with Spanish food with the occasional pizza place or kebab shop.

It’s very easy to get around on foot, if you do want to travel to other places there are buses which you can get to Jaen, Córdoba, Madrid etc.

El Centro de ingles is in the town centre, it’s very easy to find, and if you can’t find it, ask someone, the director and the school are both very well known in the town.

The staffroom contains a lot of resources and materials, for all levels and abilities and the staff are friendly and always willing to help. Each teacher`s timetable has a variety of levels and ages and class sizes are a maximum of twelve students and for the very young learners a maximum of eight.

The school also has input sessions most Fridays, where you can get help and advice especially on Cambridge and Trinity exams.

When looking for accommodation when you haven`t been to Spain before, or you can`t speak Spanish is very difficult but the director will help you with this, as she has many contacts in Andújar, which is one thing you don`t have to worry about when relocating.

Another important thing is the healthcare, with your contract you automatically receive full heath care, the same as a Spanish national.
