Description

Our internships are customized to match your interests and your desired length of stay in Spain. Internships last a minimum of 4 weeks, but we encourage you to stay as long as you can. Obviously, the longer you stay in Barcelona, the more time you will have to immerse yourself in the local culture, practice your Spanish, learn the ins and outs of your internship, and make a difference in the organization in which you are interning. Intern in Barcelona offers both professional development and the chance to soak up all that Barcelona has to offer. You will experience:

* Western Europe's most pristine white-sand beaches - Barcelona's beaches and boardwalks are a main attraction. The city enjoys a Mediterranean climate whose mild winters and hot summers make a visit to the beach perfect any time of the year.

* Life in the cultural capital of the Mediterranean - Barcelona is home to more UNESCO World Heritage sites than any other city in Europe. Imagine the architectural and cultural splendor of a city with 2,000 years of history! Numerous museums, churches, cathedrals, and concert halls, plus the influential modern art of Antonio Gaudi, Joan Miro, Pablo Picasso, and Mies Van der Rohe, make Barcelona an aesthetically appealing destination for visitors from all over the world.

* A custom internship placement - We understand that you probably aren't interested in traveling to Spain for an internship that involves pouring coffee and sharpening pencils. Luckily, our internships are customized. We take into account your career aspirations, hobbies, interests, and skills.

* Choose your own style of accommodation - Intern in Barcelona offers different housing options. You can live with a Spanish family or share an apartment with other international students.

* The city of Barcelona - The cafe culture, boutiques, tapas restaurants, and world- famous nightlife are enough to keep you busy for a semester.

* Cultural activities and excursions are included - We will provide you with such cultural experiences as a Catalan cooking class, a flamenco show, and the Spanish cinema. Depending on the program dates you choose, you may get to participate in a weekend trip in Spain. Possible trips include the beautiful Costa Brava, the magical Granada, or majestic Madrid.
