I can absolutely say I loved my time in the enchanting city of Barcelona filled with beauty, art and culture. I have had the opportunity to meet new people, get involved in the culture, beach parties, live the working life and enjoy the many Spanish holidays.
What really attracted me to this company was that it was currently embarking on the internationalisation process. This was a subject that had interested me in the module of “International Business Management”. An opportunity to work for such a company would allow me to gain a practical understanding of the internationalisation process as well as business .
The team was very welcoming to me during the first week of my . As anyone would be, I was nervous and excited but the team helped me to settle in comfortably. Prior starting I had to sort out documents such as my N.I.E number and social security number as well as finding accommodation which can be a daunting experience. However both my boss and the kind people at were on hand to help. I lived in the town of Sabadell for a month, a quiet and calm town away from the city. Naturally being a city boy I decided to move to the city of Barcelona and commute to work which had its benefits and drawbacks - one less hour in bed and a bit more costly but worth it.
Working with a developing small company that has grown rapidly over the past three years has really given me the opportunity to see the efforts and hard work it takes to survive as a business in this digital age in the e-commerce market. With any job you will experience ups and downs; this gave me the opportunity to see my strengths and areas of weaknesses to improve on. My greatest challenge in the role was the language barrier at times and communication. This obstacle pushed me to improve upon my cross-cultural skills. I was able to adapt to cultural customs and differences through daily interaction with my work colleges as well as overcome social differences and foster cultural understanding.
The role allowed me get involved with the company, as an intern I could give suggestions, ideas, which was always considered and taken into account. I was also allowed to exercise the theories and traits I have learnt at university.
As well as all the experience I have gained I will take away the great relationships I have built with my fellow interns. I had the opportunity to work with great people who I was able to bond with, laugh and build friendships with. There was an intern from each country that the company is present online in. This created a rich cultural environment where I could interact with people of different backgrounds, cultures and languages and ultimately learn from them.

Dear All, Firstly, I would like to thank all Spain Internship team for the amazing experience I had in Spain this summer. Secondly, I can say that all was great. The application process was easy to understand and fill. I had spoken with Angela and Nadia and had always great assistance in any questions I had for them. Regarding my job in Barcelona at a well known hostel, I can say that my internship supervisor always discussed with us and tried to help us in any issues we, interns, had. I liked that he was taking into account things I thought could be very useful to use at the hostel and dealing with the customers and in case I had any questions or problems, I could speak with him about them properly.The team at work was a young team, very welcoming and charming. I felt very comfortable working there. More than that, I can truly say that we were not colleagues, we were a big family, and not only because we have lived in the hostel. At the end I would like to say that I definitely want to participate in an other interesting internship provided by Spain Internship if available. Thank you so much! Kind regards, Cristina |
I am really glad I applied for this internship, the application process was easy and also quick. I have been in touch with Nadia, who is a really nice person and she always answered promptly to my emails and helped me out with everything. Regarding my internship, I was pleasantly surprised and the time I spent here it was truly one of the best of my life. I did my internship at a hostel n Valencia and since my arrival everybody was very nice and helpful, I did not encountered any difficulties during my internship, at every step there was someone always there to guide me in case I didn't know what to do. I really enjoyed working in an international environment and I also had the opportunity to meet a lot of people from all around the world during my stay. The accommodation was provided by the company and I shared it with other international interns, whom now I call friends.
This internship truly exceeded my expectations, beside learning many new things, it was also a very good life lesson. Valencia it is an amazing city, dynamic and full of culture, it was hard to get bored at any time. At the hostel we had guests from all around the world so I had the opportunity to learn a bit about different cultures and get to know stories of people who almost saw the entire world. It was truly a rich and amazing experience and also I would gladly recommend to anyone to apply through Spain Internship.

Spain-Internship was the first result that popped up when I was searching for my internship in September. It started when I saw a great vacancy and decided to send them an email to ask if it was available, I got an almost immediately response.
Unfortunately the vacancy had been taken and I was a few days too late, but they offered me a great deal of other options so I had plenty of other choices.
Luckily there was another interesting internship in that selection, so the next day after I asked them if it was available, I got an response in a few minutes asking me when I would be available for a Skype interview with them.
After a welcoming conversation they connected me with my internship of choice, which I made an appointment with for another interview.
After that interview everything was arranged and now I’m almost starting my second month in Seville and can only say that I truly enjoy and appreciate this whole experience.
So my conclusion would be that Spain Internships has helped me finding and connecting with a great internship in a period of 3 days after contacting them.
Free of charge and always a friendly service, so yes, I would recommend it if you’re looking for a placement in Spain.

I stayed near my company, which is located in Sabadell. Fortunately, there is a train station 10 minutes walking from the company which allowed me to go to Barcelona Center everytime I wanted. I loved the catalan and the spanish culture, mostly the open mind of almost all the spanish people and of, course, the pinchos and the tappas! The food is absolutely amazing in Barcelona. My first week in the company was great, with the others interns "taking care" of me and assuring that I was okay and able to do all the tasks. Also my bosses were very friendly, since they were asking me all the time if I was feeling good and enjoying the work. They really encourage us to think out of the box and contribute with new ideas, which is good. The company is really great because allow us to work on a international environment and promotes the exchange of ideas and thoughts about several issues. I really liked to work there.
Even the spanish people have made an effort to speak in english, in order to have no intern isolated from them.
I have learnt some not only technical skills, mostly in excel, e-commerce, entrepreneurship, spoken english, SEO, negotiation and so on, but also a lot of soft skills, like the cooperation and teamwork spirit and the international interchange of ideas.
Unfortunately, I have no images of the company but I can describe it to you: It's like a warehouse, where the first floor is dedicated the manufacturing and the packaging and the second one is where the interns, their managers and the IT guys work. It has water and is spacious. It also has a fridge and a microwaves where the interns can warm up their food.
If you need something else from me, feel free to contact me.
Thank you, I love you Spain Internship!!
I should say that everything went really well when I arrived in Seville. I stayed in an AirBnb during the first week of my stay, and I visited a flat, that I immediately liked, so within a few days I already had my place. Concerning the food, I love tapas, being French makes it easier I think, because our food specialties are not completely different. Seville's culture is so rich, I had the chance to discover the Semana Santa, and the Feria during my stay, and there were both very interesting. And Andalusia in general is an amazing area, with so many beautiful cities to visit.
My internship has definetly been an experience, tough at first but it has brought me so much !
The first weeks were hard not only because of the schedule but also because of all that I came with, being able to comunicate with people and keep smiling and being enthousiastic all day long was challenging because I am a shy person.
It really helped me to go out there and to talk to people, sharing experiences ...
Of course, Dani and Marta are so nice and welcoming, they really made it feel like home and I am so glad I stayed this amount of time !
I really enjoyed my internship at Manà Manà Hostel !!
Thank you very much for finding it for me.
First of all i would like to say thank you for your help and time. I really appreciate it.
I spent wonderful time in Calella. I still cant imagine that i am leaving Spain. My team was one of the best teams ever, guys were so friendly and helpful from the 1st day when i arrived.
I cant complain about anything, food and accomodation was good, i was living just in 2 min from Hotel. In a short period we became a family, because we were living together,working together ,eating together and etc. Nothing could be better than feeling yourself like at home, i had this feeling during the 3 month.
Here there are a couple of pictures of my experience.
The application process was good, sometimes not fast in replying but it's ok. My first week there was not easy, new place, new people, and you should get used to such job because it needs a lot of energy. But in general was good as there a lot of nice and friendly people in the hotel. Food was ok, the only thing I didn't like is that it was very fried and oily, not so healthy, but a lot of variety and vegetables and fruits were good. Accommodation was ok. One very small room which I shared with a colleague. It was enough space, but the minus that there is no refrigerator there. Talking about itself I could definitely say that I'm very satisfied, because I had very good experience not only in sport activities but how to talk with people and how to organize activities. I made a lot of friends, not only from staff but guests too. I met a lot of interesting people. I feel very comfortable and open now with this job and I think this is most important. The only thing that was difficult for me is that people from the hotel were leaving and it was sometimes hard and sad to say them bye bye because they are so nice.

"I had a really good time, saw nice places, met amazing people with who I built nice friendships, experienced a new culture and gained lot of new skills for my and personal development."
The process around setting up the internship and all the paperwork, interviews around was a well done. The service personel who was helping me out in this case was fast responding and friendly.
My first weeks at the destination were a bit strange since I was put into a new unexperienced environment and the culture and mindset of people around me was different then I was used to. However, all my collegueas were very nice,friendly and welcoming so soon I fit in and felt good. We formed a nice, coherent team both on a professional and personal level. The work with them was fun, intertesting and exciting. I enjoyed being a part of it and I really recommend it to everyone who is sociable, talkative and likes to work with and for people.
In regards of the food and accommodation I can not say a bad word.
All in all I had a really good time, saw nice places, met amazing people with who I built nice friendships, experienced a new culture and gained lot of new skills for my professinal and personal development.
Hopefully in a close future I get a chance to work with this company once again.
Thank you Spain Internship for the provided help.

I was working in Barcelona for 3 months from August 1st to November 1st!The first thing I would like to share is that it was a lifetime experience for me and I really enjoyed it! The staff and my trainer were very helpful so were the other interns I worked with. The atmosphere was amazing thanks to the beautiful city and the vitality of the staff in the hostel. Breakfast and accommodation were provided which was a big financial help. Moreover, as an intern you also got pocket money every months for your work. We lived together with the interns in the hostel so it became our workplace and home at the same time :) 4 interns shared one room which was acceptable for me. We were quite flexible and enjoyed each other's company.The hostel has a kitchen, a bar, a rooftop, and roomshastheir own bathrooms. The guests were mostly young people so we had the opportunity to make new friends for which the bar was a perfect place. I mostly enjoyed providing information about the city and recommending nice places/restaurants to visit. All in all, it was a great place for doing an internship!On the other hand, I noticed some disadvantages of the job as well. In some of the cases much responsibility was put on interns then it should have supposed to.In my opinionit was mostly because of the management which should have been more precise and efficient. On the contrary, we were given the freedom to make changes in our schedule or ask for days off and the manager was pretty flexible about them.I got a really good impression about the city itself! In my opinion, Barcelona is one of the most wonderful places in Europe. It has its own culture, tradition, gorgeous cuisine, amazing nightlife and probably the most important: it has Gaudi! I was truly amazed by his wonderful artworks which make the city even more beautiful and fascinating. I am more than happy to share some pictures I took! Thank you for these unforgettable three months!

"This was my second internship in Spain and both times I used Spain Internship services. Spain Internship personnel are always very helpful, patience, friendly, informative and just the best assistance what you can have when you are going to spend some time in other country."
This was my second internship in Spain and both times I used Spain Internship services. Spain Internship personnel are always very helpful, patience, friendly, informative and just the best assistance what you can have when you are going to spend some time in other country. I had to wait few weeks until I finally got internship agreement from my University and during all that time Spain Internship were very understanding and patience. I truly recommend to everyone use Spain Internship.
About my internship, first impression was that company is extremely interesting. I was met very friendly, everyone were helpful and understanding. It was very nice to work in multicultural environment, although, I thought that there will be more Spanish people instead of Americans, Australians and people from Great Britain. Tasks weren't too difficult and everything in general was good enough. I learnt more about start-up companies, how everything works from inside and how it's growing everyday.
Colleagues and all staff were really friendly. If I had any issue they were always trying to help me to solve it.
In general, I am really glad about my experience in Seville, because I learnt much more about Spanish culture, food, traditions, I saw many places, I met interesting people and I just wish so spend more time here. I recommend glamping hub company for all students who want to have an interesting experience in Spain. I hope I will have opportunity to make internship or find a job in Spain again!
Thank you for your help Spain Internship!

" I got more experience from here, they let me work in all available positions, so I am happy about my practice because I met a lot of nice people here! "
Everything is ok here, the Internship is good and I didn't have problem with It. Sometimes they don't want to solve some problems but it's ok. Sometimes they want more and more if they can see that you are good in your position but I think it's normal. But anyway everyone is really nice I'm happy about my colleagues and of course my boss is a really good person. I didn't had problems with them. What's about experience so if you want to get good experience from the kitchen it's better to go for practice to the restaurant but not to the hotel because they are making food for a lot of people and quality isn't most important thing here, but of course I got more experience from here, they let me work in all available positions, so I am happy about my practice because I met a lot of nice people here!

"Overall, I would highly recommend Spain Internship. I had a truly great experience, I and I would do it over again, anytime."
The application process was fairly simple and easy. I was very thankful for the help of the Spain-Internship staff. Nadia Sousa, in particular was very kind and helpful throughout the entire ordeal. As a US citizen I was able to get through the visa process (applying in person) relatively easy as spain-internship provides all necessary documents required on their behalf. I recommend their employees as well. I had no trouble with interviewing, obtaining my visa, nor arriving in Spain.
I really enjoyed my internship. I was placed in Igualada, a municipality of Barcelona, which was a great balance of living in a smaller, quiet town, and having the ability to visit Barca on weekends, breaks, etc. I was placed in two schools in Igualada. Having spent 6 months teaching in Colombia this year, I learned a lot of basic and intermediate Spanish prior to Spain, which helped with the language barrier. I was well accepted at both schools. As an assistant I was tasked to teach small groups in each classroom, which was very effective. I was also given the opportunity to choreograph two dances at my secondary school to be performed at a Christmas concert in which all families around Igualada attended. I can't say that I had any expectations coming into the internship, but I will say that patience throughout the internship placement and visa process is key. Nothing is going to happen all in one day. However, if you come with an open mind, a will to teach you will be just fine. I received adequate training prior to and during the internship. Overall, I would highly recommend Spain Internship. I had a truly great experience, I and I would do it over again, anytime.

"I am absolutely glad with my internship. All tasks and duties came up to my expectations."
"I do not have any remarks as for my process of application because I was satisfied with it – all details were established quickly and the communication with Spain Internship Team was smooth as well as effective. Since I created an account on your website, I received e-mails with internship offers. I did not have any problems with receiving replies to all my questions and doubts. What is more, it took a short time to arrange conversations on Skype and fill in the necessary documents for my internship.
I am absolutely glad with my internship. All tasks and duties came up to my expectations. I could observe various lessons and assist the other teachers in their classes, including extra theatre, cooking and Christmas classes, conduct the lessons in different groups, including my permanent groups, as well as gained more experience in teaching children at the age of 2-5. I could learn the methods of teaching the youngest students and prepare different educational materials.
The conditions offered by the company was very good. I could use all modern and new equipment as well as another stuff from the school. I was treated as a part of working team. I got well with my supervisor and school director. My colleagues were from different countries, which was also beneficial for me. The cooperation with them was a pleasure. We were very supportive and helpful for each other.
I think that it was absolutely good decision to have this internship in the school in Palma de Mallorca. I had an opportunity to arrive at a wonderful island and meet interesting people, including my workplace, flat and different groups from a social internet portal. However, the most important aspects of my internship were my duties and tasks in Kids Club where I could develop myself as an English teacher, especially in different classes with children.
Unfortunately, I do not have many pictures of my classes at school because I cannot publish my students’ images. However, I can send you other pictures that can be posted on Facebook with my name.
Thank you for helping me to find the internship.

" I met different culture, new people and visited lots of new places. "
It was quite fast. Just one skype interview and after a few days I was accepted. I was working in Pricing department of an e-commerce company. From the beginning it was very boring- just clicking by mouse some stuff... But after 2 months I took over the department and it was much more interesting. I co-operated with CEO and engaged in pricing policy of the company. I created some statistics and also involved in recruiting and training new interns.. Colleagues were very pleasant and polite. The company gave me allowance of 225 euros per month and it was very helpful. Conditions were good- I cannot complain. Interesting benefits were free food on Friday, dogs in office and Christmas dinner. Disadvantages was bad transportation connections from BCN. I improved my English, got know how company works and improved epecially some soft skills in leadership and organization of work. I met different culture, new people and visited lots of new places. I lived in Catalan familly and it was interesting experience.

"I managed the company’s presence and made it grow through social media."
The Spain Internship was very efficient and reactive and it was easy to find an internship.I was in charge of the social media as well as creating the communication campaign during my internship. charge of social media as well as creating the communication campaign during my internship.

"I'm happy with the experience in general"
There is very little left to finish and I am happy with the experience in general. The application process was very efficient and fast, although I had some problems at the beginning, I'm aware that it was the fault of the first company and not of Spain Internship. I feel very grateful to them for helping and guiding me until the end of my experience. My internship was one of those experiences where you learn a lot of things. I don't regret it at all. All the tasks assigned to me, were an opportunity to discover something new or to put my knowledge into practice. About the company, I could say that Mr. Prieto, my professional tutor and CEO of the company welcomed me very well. From the first moment he made my integration into the group go very smoothly. We were a small group of three people in Madrid. Despite we were only with a few, we had always a very good relationship with each other and it taught me to be a better teamworker. I can describe this experience as very positive. I learned a lot, discovered new things everyday, and I'm sure they will be very useful for me in the future. I am very satisfied and very grateful to you and the company.

"Thank you Spain-internships for truly making my dream come true"
Firstly I would like to say how relatively easy the process was to get my internship, start the process of getting the visa. I worked with Misko and he was wonderful. He helped me with the process every step of the way. As soon as I let him know that I was interested in working in Spain, he set up a bunch of interviews immediately. I interviewed with 3 companies over skype, and I fell in love with the third company, a fintech company in Barcelona. I got to Spain on February 6th, 2017, and I started officially working on the 23rd of February. My company was so helpful, they helped me with all the paperwork processes and they made me feel at home. It's now March 2017 as I write this testimony, and I never want to leave. I love Spain so much, the culture, the people, the FOOD, everything. This is my new home. I love working at the software company that I chose, I am learning so much. I feel so happy here, I finally have found what my passion is and what I am meant to do. Thank you Spain-internships for truly making my dream come true.
Best Regards,
Rivy
