Languages

Spain has enormous cultural diversity and this is reflected in the number of languages spoken in the country.

The official language for the whole country is Spanish or Castellano (74%); however, in many autonomous communities this language coexists with other official languages, such as Basque (euskera) 2%, Catalan (13%), Galician (gallego; 7%) and Valencian (4%), which are found in those respective geographical areas.

Without being official, other minority vernacular languages are spoken such as bable or Asturian, Leonese, Aragonese and aranés.

 It is very difficult to find work in Spain if you only speak English, German or French, except for casual employment in some tourist enclaves on the islands or on the coast.
