Why intern in Zaragoza?
Zaragoza sits at the geographic centre of north-east Spain, with AVE rail to both Madrid and Barcelona under 1h 30m. It hosts Spain's largest logistics platform (PLAZA), an Opel/Stellantis plant and a growing tech ecosystem. Cost of living is significantly lower than Madrid or Barcelona.
- Logistics, automotive and renewable-energy industries
- Lower cost of living than Madrid/Barcelona
- Strategic position between the two big cities
Life & work in Zaragoza
What the city is really like beyond the postcard — the context you'll want before you land.
Culture
Zaragoza sits exactly between Madrid and Barcelona on the AVE line — 90 minutes from either. The Basílica del Pilar dominates a Roman-Muslim-Christian old town, and a modern logistics/automotive economy (PLAZA, Stellantis, BSH) makes it Spain's fifth-largest city with unusually low rents.
Getting around
One tram line down the centre, dense city buses, and AVE trains to Madrid and Barcelona in 1h20 each — commuting to either capital is realistic.
Best for
Logistics, automotive, engineering, marketing and affordable-cost-of-living interns.

Internships in Zaragoza — FAQ
The questions our coordinators answer most often before a placement.
- What internships are available in Zaragoza?
- Zaragoza hosts placements in IT, Engineering & Design, Marketing & Business, Tourism & Hospitality. We match students with vetted host companies based on academic background, languages and career goals — typically a 2–6 month training agreement (convenio de prácticas) signed by your university.
- Is the internship in Zaragoza paid?
- Most placements in Zaragoza include a monthly stipend of €300–€900 depending on sector — IT and engineering roles pay at the top of that band, tourism and hospitality trainees are often paid €0–€400 plus accommodation. Erasmus+ grants stack on top of any stipend.
- Do I need to speak Spanish for an internship in Zaragoza?
- Castilian Spanish is the local working language. Multinationals and most tech / marketing scale-ups in Zaragoza operate in English, so B2 English is usually enough — but conversational Spanish widens the shortlist significantly and is essential for client-facing roles.

- Interns in Zaragoza typically budget €700–€1,100/month all-in, split roughly 50 % rent, 20 % food, 5 % transport and 25 % leisure. Central neighbourhoods cost more.
- Which neighbourhood should I live in during my Zaragoza internship?
- Pick an area within 30 minutes of your host company by public transport. Our coordinator maps districts against your placement address on the pre-arrival call.
