Work in Spain and finance your own stay abroad

Our Study & Work in Spanish Hotels program offers you a unique opportunity to improve your Spanish and earn a small allowance while you gain valuable work experience in Spain’s hospitality industry. This program is available for students of many nationalities.

You will have a Spanish language immersion course at don Quijote before putting your new skills into practice on a paid work placement in a Hotel or Country House.

You will work on Spain’s beautiful mainland or on the Balearic or Canary Islands. You will have accommodation and meals provided during the work placement phase and you will earn an allowance of between € 200 and € 400 per month.
