Affordable Internships in Spain | Intern Abroad HQ

What I enjoyed the most in my internship is getting to catalogue art pieces in the gallery, and learning how to make my own prints. I also enjoyed spending time with my host family, they were all very nice and accommodating. I got to practice my Spanish thoroughly during these 5 weeks. It was also fun to explore other cities in Spain over the weekends. I was always busy, learning, working and exploring. This is an experience that I will carry with me personally and professionally. Traveling on my own and navigating my way through a foreign country taught me several skills in culture, etiquette, and general street skills.

I enjoyed working at the school I was placed in. I loved the students and the teachers I was around. This helped me gain more confidence in my communication skills and efficiency to help others. This has also motivated me to pursue a career with more individual connections for student success.

I enjoyed the responsibility of working in an art gallery, along with the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations with artists and other professionals in similar creative fields, which helped expand my perspective and network.

I enjoyed the accessibility both the internship leaders and accommodation home gave me. This internship allowed me to learn and apply new and more Spanish to my clinic life at home and got me outside of my comfort zone when it came to communicating with others especially those of another culture.

I enjoyed my internship program very much! The farm where I worked was a very lovely place, with a peaceful atmosphere, full of vegetables, fruits, vineyards, olive groves, and animals. I learned many new methods and technologies from my teacher, Pedro. The head of the farm, Sara, is a very friendly and modern person whose hard work and strong discipline in inspiring people and young children to love organic approaches and the environment is truly inspiring to me.

The guidance and support I received from Intern Abroad HQ and my local team was just right. All inquiries were responded to promptly. I was very comfortable in my homestay accommodation, and the host was patient in helping me understand her Spanish. It worked out extremely well.

During my internship and cultural experience in Valencia, I have grown a lot professionally and personally. I have acquired clinical skills and enhanced my communication, improved my teamwork contribution and my approach with clients. I personally think that I have improved my social skills, as I have made friends from all over the world and interacted with social activities which was out of my comfort zone that I am used to. I received all the necessary information beforehand, which was really helpful when I arrived in Valencia. I received information about how to contact my host family, so they could know the time I would be arriving. Also, I got informed about my clinic placement and Spanish classes. I had an amazing experience with my host family. I felt like I was home and so welcomed while staying with them. The meals were delicious and I could easily talk with my host family too. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and I would definitely do another next internship abroad.

I really enjoyed the opportunity to socialize and take part in activities with other interns, which created a strong sense of community and made the experience even more enriching. This internship also gave me the chance to travel and see the world through a new lens—experiencing life from the perspective of Spanish culture, which broadened my outlook both personally and professionally. Additionally, I gained new professional work to add to my portfolio and was able to demonstrate and develop valuable skills throughout the internship. Intern Abroad HQ were consistently supportive and responsive whenever I had a question, providing clear and helpful guidance each time. My host family was very welcoming and made me feel right at home.

I was so happy with the help I received from Intern Abroad HQ leading up to my start date. My emails were always replied to quickly and with ample information to better equip me for the internship. I felt well prepared!

I want to say a big thank you to my host family! They were one of the most memorable aspects of my experience abroad in Spain. They were very helpful, nice people and made me feel like one of their daughters. I love them and will miss them. They were 1000/10!

My internship placement in Barcelona, Spain was so welcoming and I couldn't have had a better internship experience. I never felt excluded or isolated because of the language barrier. I even got to observe surgeries which was amazing! The apartment I was assigned to was beautiful and in a great area!

I enjoyed being able to work in a new culture and liked how was was treated with respect (even though I wasn't from Spain and didn't speak Spanish very well). This internship has contributed towards my personal and professional development because it has given me relevant experience to put on my resume, and skills I can use going forward.

I am very satisfied with my experience with Intern Abroad HQ. It was everything I was looking for in an international internship program. I also loved my in-country local team. I believe Intern Abroad HQ and my local team worked very well together. With Intern Abroad, I felt very comfortable with all the logistics leading up to my start date. Questions and concerns were always addressed with kindness and detail (Shoutout to Program Manager, Sarah who was SUPER helpful and responsive either by email or setting up a call). The active checklist guide on my portal was super helpful in keeping me on track for everything I needed to get done before my start date. Once I got to Valencia, my local team handled everything with care and professionalism. I always felt that I could voice my concerns and they be met with understanding and willingness to work on it. This was a wonderful experience and if I am ever looking for another international internship, I know who to contact. Other big aspects like social and host family I could write an essay on how great it was, but just know it met my expectations and more. I've made bonds with new friends all around the world and was immersed into a culture like never before. The quality time spent outside of work with other interns are memories I'll cherish forever. Thank you so much Intern Abroad HQ team and my local team. I have had the experience of a lifetime!!

What I enjoyed most about this internship was the chance to gain real-world experience while working with knowledgeable and supportive professionals. I was able to contribute to meaningful projects, which helped me apply what I’ve learned in a practical setting. Personally, the experience helped me grow more confident, adaptable, and independent—especially in a new environment. Professionally, I developed key skills like communication, collaboration, and problem-solving, all of which will benefit me in future roles. This internship has definitely helped shape my goals and given me a clearer direction for my career path. Throughout my application process, Sarah was extremely helpful and was excellent at answering all my questions.

It was a fantastic experience overall, and a great opportunity to try something new outside my comfort zone. Being able to work in a hospital with children was a great way to test my knowledge of Spanish - and also a fantastic opportunity to meet new people and interact in an unfamiliar environment. Also having the chance to volunteer at a refugee centre was something I wish I could have done for longer. I really felt that being there was meaningful and made a genuine difference, and it was incredibly eye-opening to hear some of the experiences of those there. I will definitely seek out similar experiences in my home city; it gave me a sense that helping others is possible in ways I couldn't perhaps have imagined prior to my internship. It gives you hope - you know there are good people doing good things for no personal gain.

The internship placement was perfectly aligned with my career goals, I am very grateful for the opportunity to have work with such an amazing placement and develop both my educational design skills and my Spanish language. The placement pushed me both professionally and in terms of communication, with all conversation (at work and at home) being in Spanish - I am very grateful for this and feel that my language level has greatly increased as a result. Whilst of course there were challenging moments, in terms of communication and comfort zones, overall the experience of living abroad and immersing myself in the culture has been invaluable - I look forward to utilising all of the skills I have learned in future employment. I am grateful for the assistance offered, both from Intern Abroad HQ and my local team.

My internship hosted a summer camp for kids during the second week I was there, so I was able to get hands on experiences and see their projects in action. I traveled to Benicassim where Danish and Spanish kids attended a week long camp full of fun activities. My company's goal was to see if changing the environment of these kids who are heading towards the criminal justice system. I enjoyed spending time with these kids who are in need of a loving environment and seeing them blossom as the week progressed.

I enjoyed meeting other interns and having a semi-flexible time schedule during my time abroad in Spain. This internship also definitely contributed to gaining hands on experience in my field with relevant tasks.

I enjoyed meeting others through the events and orientation, and my experience at my internship placement was amazing. It was really awesome to explore the city and be immersed in the culture and language.

My healthcare internship in Spain has made me feel more empowered to pursue a career in medicine because I now have hands-on experience in a real-world healthcare setting. It reaffirmed my passion for patient care and strengthened my confidence in interacting with patients. As a result of the medical internship tasks and experience, I've developed a stronger ability to adapt quickly to new situations and act confidently. I am excited to bring these skills to future opportunities, especially where attention to detail is needed.
