• Study and work in Marbella

Our Study & Work in Marbella program combines a Spanish course (4 weeks minimum) in any don Quijote destination with job placement following the course in Marbella, a resort town in southern Spain. You won’t get rich, but you will earn enough to cover basic expenses.

The first part of the program is an Intensive language course that you can take at any don Quijote school or partner school in Spain, for a minimum of 4 weeks.

After your Spanish course you will start your work experience in the famous Spanish coastline of Costa Del Sol. You’ll be close to Seville and Granada, and only 3 hours from Madrid by train.

You will work in a hospitality or retail business. Positions include: bartender, amusement park attendant, waitress, kitchen assistant, waiter’s helper, hostess.
