Alicante

Alicante is one of Spain's sunniest cities, perched on the Costa Blanca between Valencia and Murcia. With its iconic 9th-century Santa Bárbara Castle overlooking the marina and a lively international community, it's a welcoming hub for VET interns from across Europe.

Smaller than Valencia or Málaga, Alicante is perfect for interns who prefer a close-knit experience. The tourism and hospitality sectors dominate, alongside growing trade and logistics activity at its busy port. The city is compact and easy to navigate, with direct international flights and a warm, friendly local culture.

The warmest city in mainland Spain — averaging 20 °C year-round. With 320+ sunny days, Alicante is virtually rain-free from May to October.

Alicante is one of Spain's most affordable mid-sized cities. The Explanada de España palm-lined promenade, the old town Barrio de Santa Cruz and dozens of beachfront chiringuitos make everyday life feel like a holiday.
