About

Why just visit Spain…live Spain instead!

Do exactly that with our Hospitality Management program.

Live and work in Spain for as long as you want, be able to cover your living expenses and have a life-changing experience!

We can place you in any area of Spain but you need to be flexible in location. We usually work with small cities and villages but they have everything you need to have fun and enjoy yourself. You will also have a supervisor for your first job in Spain!!

Our positions for the paid jobs program are for 40 hours a week in the hospitality industry at top hotels. Typical positions include bar work, waiting and kitchen staff, hostesses, receptionists and front desk assistants plus many more.

Highlights

We offer the cheapest price in the market with the best value for money. This is a nice way to stay in Spain and live like a Spaniard.
Accommodation is in shared apartments and meals and a small salary are included in the program. We also provide you with an immersive language program 2 weeks before your placement.
Your internship duration is flexible; programs usually range between 1 and 12 months. Instituto Hemingway will work with you to match you with the best internship that will fit your needs, skills and availability to give you the best experience possible.
Service! From pre-departure to in-country support to post internship assistance, Instituto Hemingway provides you with as much or as little support as you need!
We do guarantee placement but not location. This will probably be in a charming place that you have never heard about before but one which is authentic and touristy with nice top hotels.

Instituto Hemingway is the best school, where students learn from different conversations and games, it is so fun and enjoyable to learn Spanish in that way. Marta and Eli are the professors that taught me for this month and I liked it a lot. I will miss them and hope to have them for my future classes that I will take with Instituto Hemingway. Thank you Instituto Hemingway for that opportunity! I would recommend you to take classes with this school. The teachers are great and I love how there’s an emphasis on speaking and listening which helps immerse yourself better. The location is convenient and their prices are really reasonable. After 4 weeks learning Spanish I went to Southern Spain to a fabulous hotel to work as a waiter while improving my Spanish. That was a blast!! I worked many hours but my colleagues were the best ever too!

I went to Spain by this program and I can highly recommend this program for experiencing with the new cultures and gain more practice on Spanish. I have made a lot friends which I still keep in touch with them in business life. I took 4 weeks of Spanish courses before going to the placement in a top hotel. That made me more confident in my Spanish.

Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are only so many notes or colors, there are only so many flavors - I worked as a kitchen sous in a top hotel in Southern Spain.

I had the time of my life there in Spain. I enjoyed so much working with people from all over the world. The experience was the best one I have ever had and I can´t wait to go back. I have to say that I learnt a lot, not only at work but also outside of work. The school organised these amazing cultural activities that made me understand and appreciate their culture. As far as my job is concerned, I loved working with people from different countries with different traditions and life-styles, and I learnt new things or facts about their lives. I learnt how to work in an office or how to solve unexpected problems. All in all, I loved this experience.

What would you improve about this program?

I missed a tight schedule during my internship. They were too flexible and some days I went late to the company.

Staff Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with program leaders.

What position do you hold at Instituto Hemingway? What has been your career path so far?

I am the director and I also hold a bachelor degree in psychology. I have a passion for traveling around and making things easy and enjoyable for everybody. I honestly think that having experiences overseas has a deep impact on personalities of all types and upgrades the resumes of each one. I think that the world is small but the only thing we need to do is get some motivation and leave fears aside. We only have one life to enjoy. We will have time to stay at home when we get old.

Why is language learning and cultural immersion important to you?

Jose: I think it is important because you get another soul, you open your heart and have more confidence in your self and tolerance. It is the fastest way to understand culture and people. Otherwise you will always be a tourist with the eyes of an adult but not with the eyes of the child you have inside that has an interest and curiosity for everything. Nowadays we live in multi cultural ethnical religious societies and the more languages you know the richer you are, more complex and adaptability in terms of learning life.

What was your favorite traveling experience?

Jose: I have learnt from my wide range of visits to different countries all over the world, unique experiences that took place in cities that are not promoted so much in terms of marketing. At the end of the day many tourists go to places they have seen or read on media. Why not going to places that are not so crowded with foreign tourists?

This is what I do when I travel, not going to places where other foreigners like me would go because, one thing is where foreigners go and a different issue is where local people go and that does not fit in. In massive touristy cities everything is more expensive, less authentic and less dedicated to you as a tourist.

What unique qualities does your company possess?

Jose: Fantastic prices for everybody, irrespective of age, time of the year or academic background. We open all year round, answer questions in 24 hours max. and guarantee a unique experience. We also have Skype interviews before coming to our programs to avoid all problems of adaptation.
