Not really directly relevant for forum users, I suppose, but
this article claims that rates of pay for qualified staff in the Canaries (the example being in the medical profession) are much higher than other areas of Spain. This is because the salaries are determined by each region, with no national rates of pay.
It would be interesting to find out whether this trend is also the case for other areas of work. Whilst hourly rates are low compared with the UK, perhaps thay are not bad compared with mainland Spain.
