Language Requirements

Speaking Spanish is not a requirement. A little Spanish may add to your experience, but it is by no means essential.

Your fee includes Spanish-language sessions, designed to aid your communication. Already fluent? Then dive straight into life in Valencia, no need to attend.

Map & Location

Be swept up in the spirit of Spain, where siesta culture is deeply ingrained and flamenco echoes through cobbled streets. Located in western Europe, bordering France and Portugal, Spain has more bars per person than any other country.

Home to sun-kissed coastlines, the oldest restaurant in the world, and the third-most UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Spain has something for everyone. It is safe, welcoming, and a hugely popular tourist destination, with some of the best beaches in Europe.

Valencia

Less than four hours east of Madrid lies a hidden gem, renowned for its stunning architecture and incredible coastline. Valencia has a population of about 800,000 and a Mediterranean climate with warm, sunny weather for much of the year.

Wander through charming narrow streets and lively plazas, marvel at buildings like Valencia Cathedral dating back more than 600 years, and browse fascinating museums covering the city’s rich history. It is a coastal paradise just waiting to be explored.

Food & Accommodation

Feel right at home with everything you need for an incredible, stress-free experience in the Spanish sun. We ensure that you can rest in a comfortable bed, enjoy three home-cooked meals a day, and have easy access to fresh drinking water.

You’ll be welcomed with open arms and feel like a local, living with a carefully vetted host family in Valencia with other Projects Abroad participants. We will handle your daily transport to and from your placement, taking another little worry off the list.

Your host family home will be clean, safe, and secure, and if you share a room with another traveller, they will be of the same gender and approximate age. This gives you the chance to enjoy a global experience together, share your culture, and leave with new perspectives.

Your Arrival Made Easy

When you arrive at your respective airport, a member of Projects Abroad 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.
