Spain is home to more than 30,000 active startups and the European headquarters of brands including Inditex, BBVA, Santander, and Telefónica. The country's marketing sector is one of the fastest-digitalising in the EU — between 2022 and 2025, Spanish companies increased their digital advertising spend by over 40%, creating a sustained demand for skilled marketing interns who understand SEO, paid social, and analytics.

A marketing or business internship through Spain Internship means working on live campaigns, real client accounts, and operational challenges — not coffee runs or filing. Our host companies are selected based on their commitment to mentoring, their use of up-to-date tools, and their track record with Erasmus+ students.

Placements are available from 2 to 12 months, start year-round, and cover the full range of marketing and business functions. EU students can apply for an Erasmus+ KA1 grant worth €300–€500 per month on top of any company stipend, making Spain one of the most financially accessible internship destinations in Europe.
