How to live in Spain?
I am an American from Seattle, Washington. I love Spain. The Bull Runs, Flamenco, The Women, their entire culture! I speak Mexican Spanish, and I'm currently going to College to become a Spanish Teacher. What would I have to do to live their? Apply for a green card? haha I have no idea.

You're in university? Best bet...get into the study abroad program. Go for a year. Getting a job? Not likely. You're studying to become a teacher...you'll NEED to live abroad, anyway! Just take the year in Spain. There are quite a few good universities for your needs. Start by checking into the programs available through your university.

It's not going to be easy as a Non-EU Citizen. If you intend to stay here in Spain beyond 90 Days you must apply for Residency here. This means that you must meet certain conditions (Such as having a Job, or somebody here to support you). - Also, being a Spanish teacher is not a profession that is in a great deal of demand over here in Spain at the moment - there are a lot of schools and teachers catering to teaching expats the language already - on quite a low wage. You may be more successful applying to teach English here in Spain ( TEFL, TESOL etc...) Have a read of this guide to getting residency, see if it helps - http://www.tumbit.com/how-to-guides/articles/135-applying-for-residential-status-residencia-non-eu-citizens.html

Get your degree and a teaching qualification. Make sure that you do and advanced, internationally recognised TEFL course. Then do a few years teaching practice. That could be in Spain! You could also try to do what is sometimes called an 'academic year ' in Spain as part of your course. The better your qualificaton, the better the chance of a good job. There is always a demand in Spain for properly qualified teachers. Have a look at http://www.tes.co.uk/

Bull Runs and Flamenco ain't part of our culture. Only the southern culture (Andalusia) is like you've said.
