Right now - I'd be CAREFUL. Unemployment has risen by 250,000 the first 3 months this year - 60% being related to construction. I'd keep an eye on that bit if I were you. The General feeling from folk I know in many different sectors is there are still a few LEAN YEARS to come.

There are alot of drycleaning/ironing franchises out there. Most are cheapish so I doubt teh income is HUGE. But ALOT of Spaniards (expats I dont know) would rather hire (for a pittance) a bit of help to clean/iron etc. If you're prepared to do cleaning etc - you can actually make a fair amount of cash at a guess.

But the folk now unemployed due to the building crisis are likely to soak up a fair bit of that!
