l have heard from a lot of friends from West Africa saying that it is no longer possible to come to Spain to work legally. One reason being the language difference and the strict visa but knowing the forum has availed me the opportunity to ask if there is any way out.  ln the US where l live people are still allowed to come. l hope l can get a reasonable answer for this?

You have to have a plan and a lot of luck if you’re hoping to find an employer who is willing to apply for a work visa for you. The unemployment rate is very high (~20%) and there is a large population of workers willing to work under the table.
