Description: Widely recognized for Flamenco music and dance, bullfights, fantastic beaches and lots of sunshine, Spain is, and has been for thousands of years, one of the cultural centers of Europe. Travel to one of the world-famous cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, or Seville. Experience firsthand, the architecture of Gaudy, the masterpieces of Goya or Picasso, or the Alcazár Palace. Internships in Spain give participants the opportunity to improve their Spanish both inside and outside their job as well as gain a greater perspective on the professional world in a global context. Additionally, this experience gives their résumé a fantastic boost.

Highlights: Seville is famous not only for the day-to-day fun it provides, but also for the yearly parties it throws as well. Sevillanos, however, never need an excuse to throw a party, so the city is vibrant and lively all year round. Seville embodies the free spirited, fun-loving, romantic image of Southern Spain.
