Internship 2022 : Unusual places to visit during the internship

Spain is a country known for its beautiful landscapes, its culture and its history. I suggest you to find here some unusual places to visit during your internship in Spain.

Caminito del Rey

Located in El Chorro, near Malaga, the Caminito del Rey is a walkway attached to the steep walls of a narrow valley, the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes, which can be walked from a height of 100 meters. This attraction allows everyone to experience that feeling of vertigo that normally only experienced climbers can feel; this centuries-old passage has been nicknamed “the path of death,” and for good reason.

This attraction is certainly not for the vertigo-prone, although the views from the heights are phenomenal. You have to book well in advance, as the attraction is very popular with the adventurous. A good way to clear your head after a week of training.

Tabernas, Almeria

The Tabernas desert is Hollywood’s Wild West. It has three movie sets: Fort Bravo, Western Leone and Mini Hollywood, which attract a large number of tourists and famous film and television productions. The sets include the remains of an Arab castle, a renovated municipal theater and an old church. Wild West enthusiasts will be absolutely delighted to discover the wild and arid landscape dominated by eagles soaring in the blue sky under the rays of the scorching sun.

Atlantic Museum Lanzarote, Canary Islands

For those who do their internships in the islands, this is a rather unique activity. Located off the coast of Lanzarote, the Museo Atlántico is the first underwater museum to open in Europe, with sculptures submerged 12 meters deep and artificial reefs attracting rich marine life. The museum invites you to reflect on human society in an unusual environment. It is advisable to check the weather conditions to assess visibility during the dive: the clearer the water, the more you will enjoy your visit. The museum offers an absolutely unique experience through the sapphire blue waters of the island. You will be amazed by all the life forms that have developed on the statues.

Limitezero

Limitezero allows you to go back in time one hour between Spain and Portugal. The zip line connects Sanlúcar de Guadina in Spain with Alcoutim in Portugal, covering a distance of 720 meters. The descent takes only 60 seconds, during which the intrepid fly back to Portugal at 80 km/h over the waters of the Guadiana. When the sun is shining, the zip line offers breathtaking views of the hills and the glistening river.

El Diablo Restaurant

Located in Lanzarote’s Timanfaya National Park, Restaurante el Diablo offers guests a meal cooked on an active volcano. Few establishments can boast this unique cooking method.

Rio Tinto Mine

The Rio Tinto mine is located in the province of Huelva, in southern Spain. It is said to be the oldest mine in the world. The Rio Tinto lives up to its name: intense shades of red to orange blend to form a masterpiece of color and texture. The mine is considered by many to be the cradle of the iron and copper era; gold, silver, copper and many other minerals were extracted from it. Visitors are invited to take the tourist train to explore the 22 kilometers of railroad through the mines and the lush flora of the Sierra de Aracena y los picos de Aroche Natural Park.Your journey through the stunning colors and contrasts promises fantastic photos.

Sobrino de Motín

The longevity of the Sobrino de Motín, with more than 300 years of existence, is reason enough to visit. This restaurant has different rooms on each floor, and its walls are decorated with old photos and documents dating back centuries. The menu may seem limited, but the stars of the menu are the pork and lamb, cooked in the same oven from scratch. The place, packed with busy waiters, is a must-visit on a first visit to Madrid.

So here are some activities to keep you busy on weekends, depending on where you are in Spain, although some are worth the trip.
