Work experience in Spain:

Welcome to Sevilla

Sevilla is the largest town in Southern Spain. As an Ancient Roman settlement, the town is steeped in history (not to mention legend - it was said to be founded by Hercules!)

The town lies on the banks of the Guadalquivir River and boasts many historical sites, from convents and parish churches to museums and palaces. There’s also the Royal Tobacco Factory – a must-see for opera lovers as this was the fictional workplace of gypsy heroine Carmen.

But for all its monuments, Sevilla is famous as a carefree and joyful town. The Sevillians are known for their wit and sparkle, and the city is famed for its vitality.

So – what can you expect during your placement in Sevilla?

Travel
Your air travel will be arranged by ETS. Many UK airports offer flights to Sevilla, but as we book according to price and availability, we find that London airports are generally the best choice. You will need to arrange your own travel to the airport.

On arrival, you’ll be met upon arrival in Sevilla by a representative of the Host Organisation , who will accompany you to your accommodation.

Accommodation
Your self-catering accommodation will be a house or apartment in Sevilla, which you will share with other participants, international students or the owner of the property.

Please remember: although Sevilla is in Southern Spain, the winters can be cold so it’s important to take suitable clothing for the duration of the programme.

Language Course
Your programme begins with a Spanish course at a local language school.

The course runs for 4 hours per day, from Monday to Friday for a period of 2 weeks. This is a key part of your work experience in Spain, so attendance is compulsory.

Work Experience
Once your language course is completed, the real work begins. Your work placement will last for 10 weeks, in and around Sevilla. For most placements you’ll need to travel either by bus, tram or train – but for some, your work place may be within walking distance.

Travel to work may take up to an hour. A monthly local travel ticket will be provided.
