Internships in Spain: Who's Hiring Right Now (Oct 2026)

You want an internship in Spain and you need names, not vague market talk. As of 14 October 2026 the JobRise feed shows 24 open internship listings in Spain, and 22 of them went up in the last 30 days. Seven appeared in the last 7 days alone.

That count comes from Internships in Spain, a live listings slice, not a market survey. Treat it as what is open today. Listings close and get replaced within days.

Where the openings are#

Two cities hold almost everything. Madrid has 13 listings and Barcelona has 11. If you live in Valencia or Seville, plan on relocating or on chasing the rare remote role, because the feed shows almost nothing outside these two hubs.

Big concentration. Thin elsewhere.

Who is hiring#

Delivery Hero leads by a wide margin with 12 open listings, which is half the slice on its own, so spend your first hour of search time there before you cast a wider net across the other names.

Some names in the feed are recruiters or staffing firms, so read each posting before you assume the brand on it is your actual employer. Here is what is open right now.

• Delivery Hero (12 listings): "Account Manager Intern - Q Commerce Catman" and "Data Analyst Intern"
• ARCHIMED (2): "Junior Project Manager - Internship (Lyon, France)"
• Uber (2): "2027 Account Management Intern, Madrid, Spain" and "2027 Operations Intern - Madrid"
• Exoticca (2): travel roles in Barcelona
• BMAT Music Innovators (1): "Operations Specialist Internship"
• Q ENERGY (1): "Trainee Finance - Treasury and AP (all genders)"
• Destinus (1): "Travel & Expense Intern"
• Zoomo (1), Red Bull (1), Datadog (1): one listing each

The ARCHIMED role is filed under Lyon, France, so check the location before you spend an evening on the application. Not every listing in this slice is physically in Spain. Read twice.

What the job-type mix tells you#

The mix is nearly even between "Internship" (12) and "Full-time" (11), with a single "Part-time" listing sitting at the edge. That split is unusual for an internship feed, and it says something specific about how these companies hire early-career people.

Full-time roles inside an internship feed usually mean graduate or junior seats that the team is happy to fill with someone early in their career, so do not skip them just because the label says full-time. If the title says intern, graduate, junior, or trainee, you are probably in range.

All 24 listings use entry-level titles. No senior role hides in here. Clean slice.

The mix also leans on a few large employers rather than a wide spread of small ones. Big tech and large consumer brands like Delivery Hero, Uber, Red Bull, and Datadog take the biggest share, while startups and scale-ups such as BMAT, Zoomo, Exoticca, and Destinus take a smaller but steady one.

Agencies and staffing firms appear in the list too, which is normal for internship hiring in Spain because many teams outsource early-career intake instead of running it in-house. Public sector roles are not visible in this slice at all.

One blunt note on pay: no listing in this slice shows a salary. Assume nothing. Ask about money early, and check current official sources for internship wage rules in Spain before you sign anything.

How to apply this week#

Apply direct whenever you can, because a company careers page puts your application closer to the hiring manager and saves you from an extra screening layer that a reposted listing adds for no reason.

Mirror the listing keywords exactly. If the posting says "Q Commerce Catman", write "Q Commerce Catman" in your CV. If it says "Travel & Expense", write it that way and not "T&E", because applicant tracking systems match on exact wording far more than candidates expect.

Before you send anything, run your CV through the free ATS resume checker to catch formatting that the parser drops. It takes a few minutes. It removes a common reason for silent rejection.

For wider context beyond internships, the JobRise Hiring Report: Spain covers 308 open listings across all categories in Spain, with 241 posted in the last 30 days. Internships are one small slice of a much bigger picture.

Your 7-step plan#

1. Open the internship feed today and shortlist 5 roles. Start with Delivery Hero, since it holds 12 of the 24 listings.
2. Check the location on each one before you invest time, and confirm it is in Madrid or Barcelona or that it is the Lyon role and you want it anyway.
3. Rewrite your CV for each listing. Copy the exact title and the exact keyword phrases from the posting into your summary and skills.
4. Run the CV through the ATS checker, fix what it flags, then export as PDF unless the form asks for Word.
5. Apply direct on the company site first, then on the listing. Note the date you applied so you can follow up.
6. Send a short follow-up after 5 to 7 days if you have heard nothing. One line. No essay.
7. Repeat weekly, because 7 new listings in the last 7 days means the feed changes fast enough that a second pass will surface roles you have not seen yet.

FAQ#

How many internships are open in Spain right now?

On 14 October 2026, the JobRise feed shows 24 open internship listings in Spain. 22 were posted in the last 30 days and 7 in the last 7 days. These are counts of open listings, not a market survey.

Which cities have the most internship openings?

Madrid has 13 listings and Barcelona has 11, which together cover nearly the whole slice. Very little appears outside these two cities, so plan for relocation or for the roles that allow remote work.

Are these roles paid internships?

No listing in this slice shows a salary, so you cannot tell from the feed. Ask about pay during the first call, and verify current Spanish internship wage rules with the official source before you accept an offer.

Can I apply if the role says full-time instead of internship?

Yes. All 24 listings use entry-level titles like intern, graduate, junior, or trainee, and 11 are labelled full-time. If your experience matches the title, the label should not stop you from applying.

Do I need to speak Spanish to apply?

The listings in this slice are written in English, which suggests English is enough for these roles, but that varies by team. Check the posting for language requirements and ask directly if it is unclear.
