Viola in Barcelona : 10 Internship Abroad Questions, From Tasks to Free Time!

Beautiful City, Beach, Lovely People

Tapas is what comes to my mind first. But of course also that the people are very nice and open. And the most typical Spanish thing is that everything is taking place later than in Germany. As an intern, you see so much more than only the main tourist spots. You can experience the lifestyle and the culture of Spain.

I am working at a communication company in the Marketing department. But it is somehow difficult for me to describe what they actually do. One can say that they are a mediation agency between companies that want to grow through advertising and want to get more international and the agencies which offer this kind of service.

I am doing a lot of research and at the moment I am looking for companies and agencies which could help Comfort grow. So I am searching for international service providers we can bring into contact with our companies and try to get some contact details. Every Monday we have our “Monday-Meeting” which takes about 30-45 minutes and after that, I am having a kind of lesson in the Marketing area or also because I am very interested in this in the area of Design.

I think internships abroad generally are a good look on every CV and are very helpful for the later search for the job. Furthermore, of course, they help when trying to figure out the right study course or fulfilling your study requirements. And because of the lessons I had I got a lot of general knowledge.

It is a big Must Do to go to the beach and visit the port. Personally I enjoyed a lot to go to Montjuic or Tibidabo therefrom you have a great view of the city. And for a better overview, I can only recommend making a guided bus tour through Barcelona. In general, I have 2 great places I really enjoyed going to and are an insider tip: The shop “Chök” where you can have great donuts and really delicious cronuts! And also the Bunkers del Carmel. There you get a stunning view of the city without being surrounded by tourists. And if you are interested in getting to know more from Spain I can always recommend bus tours starting in Barcelona and taking you to many different places in Spain.

Actually I felt at home from the first moment I came into our apartment here and we could furnish everything. At some point, I was so used to life here that I wanted to go on vacation again.

There is a lot more you get to know about the city and you learn living the Spanish way of life. Of course, there is more than doing the same old touristic program but you experience way more. And you can use your time to see more of Spain than just Barcelona.

I would recommend coming here sometime prior to the start of your internship to get used to everything and to settle. I think it is important not to be fixed in only Barcelona but you should take your time and get to know the rest of Spain, too. And a language course is definitely worth it.
