I might sound a bit naive, but what ballet companies are in Spain?
Everywhere I've looked up either turned up nothing or turned up as flamenco dancing only. I'm looking for a ballet company in Spain? And possibly one that would have a summer intensive?

Hi, ballerinabeth, and welcome to BalletTalk.
It isn't clear from your post whether you are looking for a company whose performances you might want to attend or a company-affilated school. For summer intensives, you'll have to register on our sister site, BalletTalk for Dancers. Our site caters to the interests of the audience -- the other side of the curtain
.
The dancers' site has forums for dancers of all levels, help with pointe shoes, technique, etc. It's a lot of fun. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Regarding the links that Cristian so nicely provided, Victor Ullate is, of course, a well-known teacher whose students include Angel Corella and Tamara Rojo. I don't think Corella (yet) has a feeder school for his company -- no mention of one on his website. Rojo was said to be trying to establish a ballet company in Spain. I don't know the status of that effort or whether it included a school.
Again, if you're looking for performance related information, this is the place. But for training, you're better off on BT4D, as we call it.

The government announced the creation of a National Classical Ballet Company by the end of this year that will be managed by Víctor Ullate. Tamara Rojo will participate as well as member of the assessment committee.
These are changing times as far as dance is concerned in Spain and some decisions do not seem to be really appropriate
