It's often very windy, with the sand blown over from the sahara. They have an entire side of it and none of it is native.
So
A. Not sure it would work because of dust/sand/prevailing wind.
B. They have shutters
c. Menial work is very low [aid

Article from a uk w/c living and working in spain.
 


Over the last year i have noticed more and more w/c using the water fed pole

The question is learning how to use it in the sun without leaving spots!
This comes from years of practice and we have only just mastered it ourselves
There is not a lot of room for window cleaners in Spain and it is very slow to pick up due to lack of trust with people
all of my work comes from existing customers recommending me as we are relible and on time
you also have to speak very very good spanish to stand even a small chance of gaining commercial work.
Remember , this is not UK and h&s isn't very hot here so a wfp er  to the spanish is a silly waste of valuable water when they could just wait for the rain to wash the dirt of...the " might" get a guy with a pole or cherrypicker after 5 years!

the TDS of the water is about 1400 tds. Needs a lot of filtering.

There's a guy, steve who logs in as Arrowclean on a couple of forums who WFP's in Spain,... might be an idea to track him down and ask a few Q's?

I think this is him:
