Where we are based in Spain

Barcelona

Our Marine Conservation and Community Development programmes are based in Barcelona, the exciting capital of Catalonia. This cosmopolitan city offers a perfect blend of urban culture and coastal beauty. Between dive sessions or educational workshops, explore the artistic heritage of Antoni Gaudí, wander through the Gothic Quarter, or relax on Barceloneta Beach.

Valencia

Our Medical Internships are based in Valencia, Spain's third-largest city. Known for its City of Arts and Sciences, historic old town, and stunning beaches, Valencia offers an authentic Spanish experience. Here you'll work at health clinics and work alongside local non-governmental organisations (NGOs) while experiencing the famous paella and world-class festivals.

When you arrive at either Barcelona El Prat Airport or Valencia Airport, a member of our staff will be there to meet you. You can find more detailed information on arrival airports, orientation, and visas on our Spain Arrival Procedures page.
