It is a typical Andalusian pueblo Blanco (white town) with many attractive sights and well-preserved historical landmarks. Trainees were sightseeing and spent the rest of the day on the beach.
Participans'
opinions

My internship in Malaga helped me gain new experiences. I learned a bit about culture and language here. I also learned typical dishes that would be hard to find in Poland. I was afraid that I would not be able to cope with the language and the challenge of working in a Spanish kitchen. However, it turned out to be an unnecessary fear. The internship also helped me to adapt to a different climate with warmer days and nights, which was a bit of a challenge compared to Poland. It also helped me to develop my communication skills with customers. Being on the internship, despite my initial fear, I felt good because we made new friends, and it was not as bad as I imagined. We spent our free time sightseeing and at the beach. I recommend everyone to participate in such an internship to gain new experience.

The internship in Malaga helped me gain new experiences. I learned culture and a little bit of language. He helped me make new friends. Ability to adapt to a new environment and climate. More to accept myself and tolerance towards foreigners. Ability to cooperate with clients. Getting to know regional dishes. During my internship in Malaga, I learned to make great breakfast sandwiches. Despite the high temperatures, I spent our free time in the center and on the beach with my friends. Here I feel like a fish in the water, not only with the wonderful Mediterranean Sea, beautiful monuments and the people are very nice.
