1– At the beach of El Saler (with a pine forest
which looks very natural) and also the beach
of Port-Saplaya (which is also known as
“little Venice”)
2– In the Turia’s park where lots of concerts
take place during the summer

about 15 km from Valencia with very clear water

Airport - Route66 : The new connection to the airport: metro nº5

Now you have another opportunity to get from the centre to the airport and vice versa: metro
nº 5. The extension of the metro nº5 to the airport came into service on the 18th of April 2007 . It now connects the most important transport centres (airport, main train station Estación del
Norte and the port) and connects the districts Manises and Quart de Poblet with Valencia.
With the nº5, from Manises to the city centre will take you about 20 minutes. Then another 10
to the port and the America’s Cup.

Marketing internship in Spain

Hi, my name is Jade and I am from Newcastle. I would like to share my experience with those who are looking for an internship in Spain. Last year, I was looking for an internship in Spain to gain work experience in a marketing environment, as part of my studies. I had always wanted to go to Spain because of the sunny weather and the Mediterranean Sea but there was one problem: I didn’ t speak the language at all. So I began looking on the Internet for international companies in Spain with English as corporate language. I didn’ t get much support from my university, they only offer help with internships in the UK but not abroad. However, I had to fulfil certain requirements for my uni: The internship should be for a period of six months and there had to be a defined project on what I would have to work. Assessment was a portfolio I had to write about my project consisting of about 3,000 words plus appendix. When I started searching for internship ads I found that they usually don’ t name a project but just some administrative tasks. I called several companies and sent out my CV several times but I just couldn’ t find anything. In many cases you don’ t even receive an answer. After a while, I was kind of frustrated because it just seemed impossible to fulfil my plans to go to Spain. I even thought of staying in the UK but I wanted to give it another try. As you may have realised, the web is full of professional internship companies that offer internships for international students. First, I thought that is nothing for me I can find an internship on my own but than I decided to apply for such a service. And, believe it or not, 2 weeks later I had the perfect internship in a marketing company in Barcelona, with a clearly defined project (for my uni) and a promising experience for me. Of course, you have to pay for the service but they are worth every penny. But please be careful, there are companies that charge you in advance – don’ t go for them, that is nothing serious. The company I found my internship with is StartEasyCareer (www.starteasycareer.com) and they were really helpful and friendly and they take care of everything: Finding the internship, providing a good contract and communication with the host company. I can really recommend them - my internship was lovely, it was such a nice company and I learnt a lot. Furthermore, I could improve my Spanish and had a great time in Barcelona.
