Ok….is not true at all….Barcelona is not a cheap city!!!
But we are gonna share with you some tips, that can help to you:
- Rent a room is always the cheapest way
- Or rent an apartment and share it with friends
- Don’t try the city center, the cheap apartments are small, nasty and expensive
- Search in Spanish web sites, for guiris (an Alien), is always more expensive
- Don’t use an agency, they want to charge for everything, a fake contract, insurance etc…
- Use your friends, if you have friends already there, use them!!
- Rooms from 250 until 450 is ok not so expensive, if it’s more probably is an agency
- Apartments from 600 until 1000 is ok not so expensive, if it’s more probably is an agency
Best place to find for this kind of offers is ClassifiedsBarcelona.com is a new site full in English. You can ask for room/apartment for free, or advertise many other stuff everything for free!
Spanish web sites with apartments and rooms:
- http://www.loquo.com/en_us
- http://www.pisocompartido.com/
- http://www.enalquiler.com/
- http://www.idealista.com
The problem is that this sites are in spanish, and full of agencies, as I said, NO AGENCIES!

A really important thing when you move to Barcelona is to have your own phone number.
We recommend the new companies, they offer better rates than no ones!
For example we can use a prepayment card of Simyo:

Contacting companies
If you would like to do an internship in Barcelona, the best way to start is to search for companies on the internet. Make a list of companies which you find interesting and start contacting them. Keep in mind that if you contact them by email 8 of the 10 companies will not reply, or some will reply months later. Therefore, a better way to start is to call companies, find out if they are interested and if so, send your CV and application letter.
For an English internship it is recommended to contact international companies as Spanish people may have difficulties with the English language.
CV and application letter
Depending if you would like to do your internship in Spanish, English or an other language, write your CV and application letter in the relevant language. Write clearly in the application letter what you are studying or have studied, your strenghts, and why you would like to work with that certain company. Keep in mind that you use the right lay out for that certain language.
Regarding to your CV, it has to be clear but short. Try if you can write it on just one paper. Make it organised, and very important, no spelling mistakes! Read the final version over and over and let someone else check it as well to make sure that there are no mistakes in it. It has to look professional. Many companies will ask you to add a picture of you with your CV.
Interview
People always prefer that they can do an interview with you in person instead of by telephone. If it is possible, try to go to Barcelona for a few days and make an appointment for an interview. The companies prefer this, but it is nice for you as well because you will have an impression of the company being there, and of course of the people with who you are going to work with.
Also you can use this English forum to find internship or work in Barcelona
