Modeling work in A Coruña
A Coruña is a port city in Galicia, in north-western Spain; the fashion group Inditex has its headquarters next door, in Arteixo. Our catalogue lists two agencies here. On its website Mayve Models describes itself as a school-agency for models and hostesses, born in A Coruña and run by the model Verónica Pérez Ordax and María Nuñez Rey. Its office is on Plaza de Pontevedra; it represents men and women, runs a paid model school and supplies hostesses for events.
New Models Galicia calls itself the first model agency in Galicia. Its website has a fashion models board, and the agency also runs a model school and supplies event staff. We found no prices for either school on the websites, so ask in advance. The application forms are on the agencies' websites.
The nearest markets and how to get there
- Oviedo – Rassim's, an agency in Asturias.

- Barcelona – 49 catalogue agencies, the seat of the AMAE association and Spain's second fashion week, 080 Barcelona Fashion.
How to get started
- Take simple digitals in daylight and write down accurate measurements.
- For advertising and shoots in the region, the local agencies fit; for fashion work, pick a few agencies in Madrid or Barcelona and only travel once you have been invited to meet.
- Apply through each agency's official channels. Spanish law does not stop agencies charging applicants, so before paying for photos, courses or registration, check on the agency's profile whether it charges and how much, and compare it with others. Walk away if you are pressed to pay or sign on the spot; more warning signs are in the glossary entry modeling scams.
- Contracts, tax and the rules for minors are covered in the guide Modeling agencies in Spain.
