Teach English in Beautiful Communities Across Spain!
One of the best parts about teaching English in Spain with RVF International is gaining access to some amazing communities. These communities are vibrant and full of rich culture and history, offering you a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a different way of life. As you explore these locations, you’ll discover charming streets, delicious food, and friendly locals. Each place has its own special features that make it a joy to live and work.
Madrid
Madrid, the heart of Spain, is a city full of life. You’ll find stunning architecture, famous museums like the Prado, and beautiful parks such as Retiro. The city’s vibrant nightlife and excellent public transport make it easy to explore. Teaching here means being at the center of Spanish culture and history, offering endless opportunities to engage with the community.
Murcia
Murcia offers a more laid-back lifestyle compared to the bigger cities. Known for its warm climate and beautiful beaches, it’s perfect for those who love outdoor activities. The historic town center with its baroque Cathedral and the annual Spring Festival are highlights. Living in Murcia allows you to experience the authentic charm of Spain while enjoying a slower pace of life.
Valencia
Valencia is famous for its futuristic buildings and the City of Arts and Sciences. It boasts beautiful beaches and a lovely old town. The famous Las Fallas festival is a must-see. As an English teacher here, you’ll enjoy a perfect blend of modern and traditional Spanish culture, making it a captivating place to live and work.
Andalucía
Andalucía is known for its flamenco music, olive groves, and impressive Moorish architecture, such as the Alhambra in Granada. Cities like Seville and Cordoba offer rich cultural experiences and warm climates. Teaching here promises a deep dive into Spain’s diverse traditions and landscapes, from mountains to coastlines.
Please note: RVF is not currently offering Andalucía as an option for the 2026–27 program. The region cancelled its language assistant program for 2025–26, and no restart has been confirmed for 2026–27. We’ll share updates here if that changes. Spain still offers many other exciting regions to explore and enjoy.
The Canary Islands
Teaching English in the Canary Islands means living in a paradise with year-round sunshine. These islands offer stunning beaches, volcanic landscapes, and a relaxed lifestyle. With vibrant local festivals and a strong sense of community, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to engage with both locals and fellow expats.
Castilla-La Mancha
Castilla-La Mancha, famous for its windmills and the classic novel “Don Quixote,” offers a picturesque and tranquil setting. Cities like Toledo and Cuenca have rich histories and stunning medieval architecture. Teaching here provides a unique glimpse into Spain’s storied past and a chance to enjoy the scenic countryside.
And More!
Spain is full of amazing places to teach English beyond the mentioned regions. Whether you’re drawn to the coastal beauty of Galicia, the vineyards of La Rioja, or the historical richness of Extremadura, each community offers unique experiences. Wherever you go, you’ll find welcoming people and opportunities to immerse yourself in Spanish culture.

Feedback
What Our People Say
I felt very overwhelmed, frustrated, and wondered if coming to Spain was even worth the headache. A friend recommended that I reach out to RVF International and I am so thankful I did. RVF guided me through the aspects of my move to Spain that were causing a lot of anxiety. They quickly responded to my emails, answered any questions I had via a Skype call, and sent additional step by step resources to help me transition to living in Spain for a year. Even though I speak fluent Spanish and have spent a lot of time traveling abroad, working with RVF gave me the peace of mind and confidence along with the resources I needed to make this transition as smooth as possible.
KathrynMichigan
My experience with RVF has been an absolute dream. They have been so amazing to work with…they have made this entire process so manageable and so relaxed. This has been the most relaxed moving process I have ever had in a foreign country.
CarolineNew York
They help with all the bureaucratic nonsense that I would not be able to do myself…they make sure that everything, every form, every application, everything, is filled out correctly, they make the appointments for you…I would not be in Spain having this incredible opportunity if it weren’t for RVF International.
RaymondConnecticut
RVF International was extremely helpful. They always responded to emails in a timely manner, they made the application process less stressful by giving detailed instructions, and they provided a handful of resources for all aspects of post application (housing, phone/internet, flights, etc). If you have any doubts regarding the application or housing or really any part of the entire process/experience, I strongly recommend using RVF. It will make everything much easier for you! I was very happy!
KaseyIllinois
My experience with RVF has been amazing! It has been so easy, so relaxed, so straightforward…they’re like a friend that lives in Spain, and you’re glad that they’re there.
ScottScott
I definitely recommend RVF to anyone out there who is interested in teaching abroad.
NaomiCalifornia
From the application process, to the step by step instructions regarding obtaining your visa, and the total support once you arrive in Spain, I never felt alone in my journey. Any time I had a question, problem or concern, Harrison and his team at RVF were there to support me in any way I needed. I highly recommend RVF to help you realize your dream of living and working in Spain.
MindyMindy
I have been teaching and living in Ronda Andalusia for 3 months, with 5 or 6 months left, and I am extremely happy here. The director of RVF International is someone that I have known for a long time and is a very genuine guy. I enlisted his company to help me smoothly transition to Spain. They helped me to organize everything, schedule appointments, get the Visa process done efficiently, and even gave me extra support and options when I ran into some trouble with the process. The high school I work at is amazing and the kids are a lot of fun. I’ve also had weekends and time to travel some around Spain/Europe. I recommend teaching in Spain and recommend getting that extra help from RVF International!
MilesKentucky
I’ve been having a great time teaching English to little kids in Galicia. I’ve seen so much of Spain already and I’m excited to see a lot more. There’s no way I’d be here if it weren’t for the helpful people of RVF guiding me through every step of the way.
NicoleNew Jersey
RVF International is a fantastic program! I’d been searching for way to teach English abroad and when I found this program, I knew it would be the best fit for me. The constant support and resources they provided for me before and during my time in Spain was so helpful, I couldn’t have done this without the program. My first year was amazing and now I’m currently in my 2nd, for everyone wanting to teach in Spain, I 100% recommend this program! Visa app assistance, program app, housing guides, etc.
