I have received information about what sounds like a wonderful opporunity for someone (i believe you have to be under 30) to work (paid!) in Madrid for one year, legally, under a new program run by Ministry of Education of Spain. I have no further information except what is available on the webpage, but just wanted to pass it on. I myself would be first in line to apply if it wasnt for grad school next year!!!
