Tarragona is a compact Mediterranean city in Catalonia, just one hour south of Barcelona by train. Famous for its outstanding Roman ruins — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — it blends ancient history with a modern industrial and educational economy.
Why do an internship here?
Tarragona is a hidden gem for interns: close enough to Barcelona for weekend trips, yet with its own distinct identity and lower costs. The city's chemical and petrochemical industry, combined with a growing tourism sector and proximity to Port Aventura, create diverse placement opportunities.
Climate
Mild Mediterranean climate with 280+ sunny days. Summers are warm (avg. 27 °C), winters mild (avg. 10 °C). The city enjoys a beautiful rocky coastline.
Life in the city
Tarragona is significantly more affordable than Barcelona, with shared flats from €250/month. The old town (Part Alta) perches dramatically above the sea, and the city's beach — La Platja del Miracle — is steps from the Roman amphitheatre.
