“My internship experience was magnificent and I would recommend anyone to accept the challenge and do it. I received many skills that I use on a daily basis and have yet to realize the other skills that I have not utilized. CEA and Glamping Hub (one of the internship options at CEA Seville) allowed me to increase my personal value and develop myself to be ready for whatever the world brings.“
