Spain is located in the extreme southwest portion of the European continent. Its total land area of 498,980 sq. km. occupies 85% of the Iberian Peninsula, which it shares with Portugal. It is bordered on the west by Portugal, and France on the northeast. Elsewhere, the country is surrounded by different bodies of water: Mediterranean Sea in the east and southeast, Atlantic Ocean in the northwest and southwest, and by the Bay of Biscay in the northwest. Spain has high plateaus, lowland areas such as narrow coastal plains and mountainous regions.

Madrid is the capital of Spain.

Spain has three climatic divisions. The northern and eastern coasts have a maritime climate characterized by slight variations in temperature, mild winters and cool summers, constant cloudy sky and frequent rainfall but less during summer. Its central plateau has an extremely varied climate characterized by scarce rainfall, warm temperature and occasional thunderstorm. These areas with elevation of more than 9,000 ft. have a mountain climate that is characterized by westerly winds from the North Atlantic with less frequent blow of warm, dry Saharan airstream.

The population was estimated at 50,015,792 million (July 2020). Distinct ethnic groups within Spain include the Basques, Catalans, and Galicians. Other ethnics groups are from Morocco and Romania. Spain’s population density is lower than most European countries. The population is basically homogenous in race and culture.

Castilian is the official Spanish language. There are, however, other Spanish languages recognized and spoken by large communities such as Catalan, Galician, Basque and Aranese.

Around 68.9% of the population is Roman Catholics. Other religious groups include the Protestants, Muslims and Jewish.

The 1978 Constitution declared Spain as a parliamentary monarchy with the King as the head of state and its highest representative in international affairs.

The Executive power is vested on the Prime Minister, who is appointed by the King, following his inauguration by the Spanish government’s Lower House. The Prime Minister is assisted by a cabinet whose members may be appointed and removed from office upon the recommendation of the Prime Minister to the monarch. Legislative power is concentrated in the bicameral parliament, the Cortes Generales or the General Courts which is consist of the Senate (Senado) and the Congress of Deputies (Congreso de los Diputados). The Senate is comprised of 266 seats where 208 of the members are directly elected by a majority vote while 58 members are indirectly voted by the representatives of the autonomous communities. The Congress is composed of 350 seats where 348 of the members are directly elected in 50 seat multi-constituencies representation vote while 2 seats are directly elected by majority vote (North African Ceuta and Melillia enclaves). The independent judiciary is headed by the Supreme Court or Tribunal Supremo.

The Spanish system of local government is characterized by the establishment of 17 autonomous regional communities. Each autonomous community is composed of a unicameral legislature elected by a universal adult suffrage and an executive, headed by a President that is assisted by a Council of Government. There are also the provincial and municipal governments below the national and regional levels.

The right to vote is enjoyed by all citizens 18 years of age and above. Members of the legislature are elected once every four (4) years.

Spain’s primary natural resources are coal, lignite, iron ore, uranium, mercury, pyrites, fluorspar, gypsum, zinc, lead, tungsten, copper, kaolin, and hydroelectric power. In 2017, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Spain reached to USD 1.314 trillion. Agriculture and fisheries shared 2.6% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Specific products include grains, vegetables, citrus and deciduous fruits, wine, sugar beets, olives and olive oil, sunflowers and livestock. The industry contributed 23.2% of GDP includes processed foods, textiles and apparels, food and beverages, ship building, clay and refractory products, tourism, footwear, petrochemicals, medical equipment, steel, automobiles, consumer goods and electronics. Spain also earns $313.7 billion in exporting automobiles, minerals, machinery, food products, medicines and pharmaceuticals. Substantial increase in exports helped Spain to sustain economic growth. Spain’s trade partners (import and export) are France, Germany, Italy, China, Portugal, Netherlands, United Kingdom and the United States.

Spain has a workforce of around 22.75 million. Unemployment rate in Spain significantly increased from 8% in 2007 to 26% in 2013. This resulted in public financial difficulties due to revenue loss and higher spending on social services. Labor reforms in Spain however reduced the unemployment rate to 16.4% in 2017.

The structure of the Spanish Education System is defined and governed by the 2006 Education Act and the 2013 Improvement of the Quality of Education Act. Public schools provide compulsory cost-free education to those aged 6 to 16 years old. Compulsory schooling covers primary school (Educacíon Primaria), from ages 6 to 12, and secondary education (Educación Secundaria Obligatoria) from ages 12 to 16. The compulsory primary education lasts for six (6) academic years where students are evaluated at the end of third and sixth levels. The compulsory secondary education covers four (4) academic years and composed of two (2) cycles; the first three years and fourth year in pre-preparation for the post-compulsory education. Students who have satisfactorily completed the first cycle of the secondary compulsory education or taken the second cycle may have access to the basic vocational training. Students with Basic Vocational Training Certificate may attend the Intermediate Vocational Training or may obtain a Secondary Education Diploma (subject to evaluation).

After completion of the secondary level, students may pursue either bachillerato studies or intermediate vocational training for two (2) years each in preparation for the university level. University education is for those who wish to specialize in a certain field of study. Vocational school is not an option, but a requirement for those who intend to pursue a university education. Students who have completed the intermediate vocational training and Advance Vocational Training will obtain the Technician Certificate and Advance Technician Certificate, respectively. These certificates may lead to a Bachillerato certificate should the students passed the core subjects of the bachillerato. The bachillerato certificate will allow students to attend courses in universities or higher education institutions.

Students with a Bachillerato Certificate should pass the entrance examination to be eligible for admission. Also, different courses may have different requirements to qualify for admission such average grades or minimum grades for specific subjects. The University Education is divided into three (3) stages. These are:

• Bachelor – covers four (4) academic years and provides general training in different field of studies.

• Master - a year to two (2) years program that aims to provide advanced training in a field of specialization which leads to a university master’s degree.

• Doctorate – provides advanced training in research that leads to a Doctoral Degree.

Other educational institutions include special education, adult classrooms, Rural Centres for Educational Innovations, Centre for the Innovation and Development of Distance Education, artistic, language and sports schools.

The regular school year in Spain begins in September and ends in June.

In 1761, Manuel Espinosa wrote the “Book of Ordinance of Military Music for the Spanish Infantry” where an unauthored piece entitled the Marcha Granadera or the “March of Honor” appeared.

King Carlos III declared the March of Honor as the national anthem on 3 September 1770. On 27 December 1978, a new adaptation authored by Maestro D. Francisco Grau, Director of the Royal Band, was approved.

The national anthem of Spain has no lyrics.

Applicants are required to present the original and photocopy of their passport, recent photos, and other documents such as medical certificates.

All permanent resident card holders may also file for local employment upon completion of necessary application requirements.

A Spanish citizen has certain rights and duties as recognised by the Constitution. Nowadays, however, the idea of citizenship is within the scope of the European Union through the European citizenship concept. Citizens of the member states are citizens of the Union, participating in its political life, enjoying citizen rights and legal protection, etc. Each state, however, has specific rules for naturalization.

Foreigners who are legally residing in Spain may apply for Spanish nationality at the Civil Registry or Registro Civil under the Ministry of Justice or Ministerio de Justicia. The “Amendment of the Civil Code on Nationality Matters” states that the required period of residency depends on the nationality and other personal circumstances.

• Five (5) years for those who have been granted with the status of refugees.

• Two (2) years for those coming from Latin America, Andorra, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Portugal or Sephardic (Jewish of Spanish origin) people.

1. Legal Separation

An immigrant who wants to separate from his/her spouse must file a petition for separation at any Spanish court. An agreement in writing must be drafted which must cover custody of children and rights of visitation, as well as financial support of the spouse and other financial terms.

A husband and wife may decide to live separately, though they still continue with their marriage. The marriage can only be terminated by means of divorce or death of one of the spouses.

Since 2005, there are no grounds required in filing a legal separation. However, time must be observed before filing a petition. The following conditions are:

• If requested by both spouses or by one of the spouses, petition can be filed three (3) months after their marriage.
• The petition can be filed any time after the marriage when there is a threat in the life of one of the spouses.

2. Divorce

A foreign partner may apply for divorce if he/she is a resident or a national of Spain at the time of filing for divorce.

A petition for divorce can be filed without any grounds. However, a waiting period is required before one can file a petition. If both spouses or either of the spouses request for a divorce, the petition can be filed three (3) months after their marriage. When life is at risk or in case of physical integrity, moral integrity, freedom, and integrity of the petitioner or his/her children are at risks, the petition can be filed any time after the marriage.

A petition for divorce can be filed in the Court of First Instance where both spouses reside. In case, the spouses are residing in different judicial districts, the petitioner may file before the following court where:
• the petitioner resides
• both spouses last reside
• other party resides
• other party last resides

When the court laid down a decision, either of the party has twenty days (20) to file an appeal before the Court of First Instance. The appeal will be endorsed to the Provincial Court (Audiencia Provincial) or in some cases, to Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court (Tribunal Supremo). The court decision is final and still in effect even an appeal has been lodged.

3. Domestic Violence

On 27 November 2006, the Council of Europe launched a campaign to combat violence against women, including domestic violence. Member countries are encouraged to enforce local policies in accordance with the objectives of the campaign to combat violence.
Spain is currently implementing procedures for the protection of victims of domestic violence. Different agencies are assigned to provide protection in different aspects. For immediate attention to physical violence, victims are advised to proceed to the Police or the Comisaria de Policia for proper assessment of the case, and for further referral to appropriate agencies.
The government established a national helpline to assists victims of gender-based and domestic violence. The national hotline number is 016. The telephone service for support and protection provides free information services, social services, legal advice, shelter and financial assistance to victims of gender-based violence. Cases that need immediate action will be forwarded to 112 Helpline for appropriate assistance. The 24-hour hotline is funded by the State.

1. Working Hours

Business hours do vary in Spain, but the traditional working hours is from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. General working hours include a “siesta” from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. This is when most businesses shut down, re-opening in the cooler hours of the evening. Small shops and offices retain these working hours. At present, however, most commercial enterprises operate on a “normal” 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. or 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. working day.

Work must not exceed 9 hours (maximum of 8 hours for employees under 18 years of age) a day or 40 hours a week. Employees are entitled to at least 36 hours of uninterrupted rest per week (normally Saturday afternoon and Sunday) and 12 hours of rest per day before reporting to work. In excess of 40 hours, employees must be compensated either by overtime pay or compensatory day off. Rate of overtime is usually stipulated under the contract agreed upon. However, employees are only allowed up to 80 hours of overtime work every year.

2. Minimum wage

The National Minimum Wage is 1,134.0 euros per month (2024). The minimum wage increased around 54% since 2018.

3. Leaves

Access to paid leave varies considerably. Full time employees with paid leaves get an average of 11 days of sick leave and 10 days of vacation annually after one (1) year on the job. After five (5) years, the workers may avail of 15 days of sick leave and 15 days of vacation leave. Employees are also paid during national or local public holidays.

4. Retirement Age

The retirement age for both men and women is 65 or 65 years and six months. Under normal circumstances, benefits from private pension plans cannot be drawn before the age of 50 or over except in certain occupations which provide for early retirement, e.g. sports professionals and others.

5. Anti-Discrimination Laws

Equality is one of the higher values of the legal system established by the 1978 Spanish Constitution. The 1995 Criminal Code also states that racism or xenophobia is an aggravating circumstance in the commission of a crime, and contains a number of provisions that specify racist offenses. The Constitutional Act 3/2007 (Effective Equality between Men and Women) guarantees equal protection before the law from discrimination on the ground of sex. The law established equal rights and access to employment, government service, military service, education, health services and collective bargaining for both men and women. There are also anti-discrimination measures in the administrative, civil and employment spheres.

In general, Spanish legislation and practices provide sufficient protection for legal foreign workers. The Worker’s Statute (Estatuto de los trabajores) protects the rights of all workers from discrimination in the workplace. An incidence of labor exploitation or injustice can be brought directly to the attention of the Spanish police by the aggrieved party or concerned non-government organizations or associations.

Non-European Union residents are allowed to work in Spain under the provisions of the Maastricht Treaty. In general, Spanish legislation and practices provide sufficient protection for legal foreign workers.

In accordance with the 1991 regularization program, foreign workers are subject to the segmentation of the Spanish labor market and a quota system that recruits workers by sector and province, thus creating labor-market niches. Most foreign workers are employed either in household/general services and agricultural services. Other fields of employment, such as education and the arts, have started to consider foreign employment.

The Spanish Social Security System is divided into contributory and non-contributory schemes. The contributory scheme is compulsory and covers all employed persons. There are six (6) major schemes, namely: general scheme, which covers all employed persons who are not covered by the special schemes and five (5) special schemes for agricultural workers, self-employed persons, domestic helpers, coal miners, and mariners.

The following benefits are available for workers in Spain:

1. Medical Treatment Benefits

The right to this benefit is acquired by the member and his/her beneficiaries (spouse and children) on the day he/she becomes a contributor. This benefit covers hospitalization and emergency treatment.

2. Sickness and Maternity/Paternity Benefits

This program provides benefits in times of temporary incapacity for work and common sickness. Maternity benefits are also provided for female workers under this program. On the other hand, male employees are also entitled for paternity leave of 4 weeks with additional 2 days for the other child in case of multiple births. For those aged 21 years and above, minimum contributions in the social security is required to qualify for the maternity benefits. Maternity leave of 42 days will be given to those who have not met the minimum contributions.

Pre-natal and post-natal health services may be availed in the local health centers or hospitals under the National Health Service (Sistema National de Salud).

3. Permanent or Temporary Disability Benefits

No minimum contribution is required for permanent disability if it is caused by accident (even non-occupational) or occupational disease. However, in case of disability resulting from a normal illness, social security contributions should be paid for a minimum number of years. Pension is equivalent to the worker’s degree of disability.

Allowance for temporary incapacity may be applied by employee who cannot report to work temporarily because of common illness or non-occupational disease. This is also applicable to self-employed workers registered with the Social Security, and have paid the minimum of contributions.

4. Old-Age Retirement Pension

Full pension may be claimed at age 65 provided that employee has paid the minimum years of contributions or 65 and six months for employees with less contributions. Reduced pension at age 60 provided that the minimum 15 years of contribution is satisfied. Two (2) years of the said contribution must fall within the eight-year period immediately prior to the retirement.

5. Death Grants and Survivorship Pension

Death grant is a small amount paid to cover funeral expenses. If death is caused by an accident at work or occupational disease, certain family members may also received additional lump sum payment. Survivor’s pension will be computed based on the deceased person’s actual earnings.

6. Unemployment Benefits

This program covers benefits available for persons who lost their job or whose working day is reduced. Employees who are registered with the Social Security and who have paid the minimum contributions are entitled to this benefit. The amount of allowance would depend on the employee’s income and circumstances. Employees with less contribution may be also eligible for unemployment allowance if they meet certain requirements.

7. Family Benefits

This program provides parents a child allowance benefit for every dependent child below 18 years of age or severely handicapped child. This allowance can, however, only be availed by families whose income do not go beyond a certain limit set by law. The amount of allowance will depend on the family’s circumstances.

A Social Security Agreement between Spain and the Philippines was signed in May 1988 and enforced in 1991. The Agreement provides payment of benefits to recipients enrolled under both social security systems. The following are the important features of said Agreement:

• Filipinos receive the same benefits as Spaniards in the Spanish social security system;

• The subscribed period of Filipinos in the Philippine social security system is included in the computation of the total subscription period for the enjoyment of retirement benefits; and

• Pension benefits may be received by Filipinos even if they decide to retire outside of Spanish territory.

To secure a social security number (Documento de Afilisacion), the applicant must go to any social security office (Tesoreria General de la Seguridad Social) and present the original and photocopy of the passport. The applicant has to fill up a form in Spanish. A social security number and a temporary social security card will be issued. An employer may apply for the social security number for a foreigner who will be working in Spain for the first time. This number will be used by the foreigner for all subsequent jobs.

Opening a bank account in Spain is a simple process. The applicant must bring his/her residency card or Permiso de Residencia to any bank and the staff will complete the necessary paper work. Requirements for opening a bank account, however, may vary from bank to bank. In general, the following are required in opening a bank account:

• Valid identification card (i.e. passport, foreigner identity card);
• Foreigner Identity Number (Numero de Identidad de Extranjero);
• Proof of employment or residency status (i.e. job contract, employment certificate, student card); and
• Proof of residency or address (i.e. utility bills).

Opening a checking account is not advisable, as checks are not the most popular form of payment is Spain. It is best to open a debit card account as it is the direct debit facility used for paying household bills. The debit card may be used in ATM machines in Spain, 24 hours a day.

Most colleges and adult education centers run beginner’s courses in Spanish. There are also many “academias” which run a variety of Spanish courses including short, intensive courses for beginners and ongoing conversation classes. In most towns, council-run courses in Spanish can be found at the Casa de la Cultura (local library / municipal theatre / art gallery). If time and money are not a problem, an intensive course may be considered. The courses include accommodation with a Spanish host family and offer a really good introduction to both the language and the country. Language textbooks and teach-yourself Spanish handbooks are a fresh and handy alternative to classes. Basic, intermediate and advance Spanish courses are also available over the internet. Some online courses are offered for free or with minimal payment.

Foreigners may use their local and international driver’s license in Spain within a certain period. It must, however, be translated in Spanish by an official translator, and also certain restrictions may apply depends on the country issued the license.

Foreign national who wish to reside in Spain for long period (usually more than 3 months) must secure a driving license in the Directorate General of Traffic (Dirección General De Trafico). To acquire a driver’s license (Class B permit), one may attend the course in a driving school (autoescuela) to learn about road safety, traffic regulations, familiarity to road signs and handling a vehicle. This will help the student to prepare for the theoretical and practical examination required to secure a driver’s license.
