Work and Travel in Ensenada
WORK IN ENSENADA ALL YEAR ROUND
Ensenada is mainly known for its wine industry and some tourism. You'll be able to get a job in the wine country all year round, especially in customer service and tasting rooms at the wineries. It is necessary to speak both English and Spanish and it is strongly recommended to own a car, since the public transportation is really bad. Bar-tending or working at a hotel might be an option as well, since tourism goes all year round; although high seasons might give you better chances to get a job, which would be during July-August, and in winter during the Holidays.
