Spain is a country on the Iberian Peninsula in southwest Europe with two exclaves in North Africa. Spain is a tourist country with a developed infrastructure in the service sector and is one of the three most visited countries in the world. Millions of travellers come to Spain every year, attracted by its beaches and pleasant climate, the country’s rich artistic heritage and its rich gastronomy.
As a result of the numerous civilisations that have left their mark and heritage on the Iberian Peninsula, Spain is one of the richest nations in terms of the cultural heritage of the world. Spain is the second largest nation in the world and, according to the WTO, is only surpassed by the United States.

Spain surprises at the slightest step. Not only the beautiful landscapes, coasts, beaches and various monuments all over Spain take your breath away but also the Spanish cuisine which consists of a great variety of regional dishes and specialities.
Furthermore, Spain is part of the European Union, so it is quite easy to organize your internship abroad. As an EU citizen you don’t need a visa or a work permission. All you need is an identity card or passport and an international health insurance. Furthermore, students from Austria can do their internship already at the age of 16!
The main tourist destination in Spain is Catalonia, and Barcelona is considered the most important city to receive tourists, followed by the Canary and Balearic Islands. In 2015, the World Economic Forum gave Spain the first place in the world in the competitiveness of tourism. But also cities like Valencia, Madrid, Malaga or islands like Mallorca, Ibiza and many more would be a good option to do your internship there.
