The Madrid Internship Program provides exciting weekend events in order for you to make the most out of your time living in Spain. Although you will be working during the day, these events aim to give you full advantage of what the city has to offer. Even though your internship is the most important, it’s essential that you take advantage of living abroad.

It is a fusion of the various cultures that have coexisted in southern Spain (mainly Andalusians, Muslims,Gypsies and Jews). On November 16, 2010 UNESCO declared flamenco one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
Unsponsored Events
We want to help you build friendships and get acquainted with your new city. To help you, our Absolute staff will be planning unsponsored events for the entire group every week. These events are voluntary, but we recommend that you attend these as they will make sure that you will get to know your new city as well the host country.
