The program in Spain starts in the capital city of Madrid. Students tour Madrid’s two main art museums, watch an evening flamenco show and attend an optional bullfight.

The main study portion of the trip takes place in the charming city of Santiago de Compostela in the region of Galicia. The discovery of the supposed tomb of St. James the Apostle in the ninth century has made this city an important cultural attraction.

While in Santiago de Compostela, students stay in a residence hall. Days are filled with language, conversation and Spanish culture classes, city explorations and cultural activities.

Between classes and city explorations, the group takes excursions to the city of Acoruña, and to the beautiful southern beach of Sanxenxo. Students continue language classes and city excursions, including a day trip to northern Portugal.

One of the highlights of the program is a week-long stay with a Spanish family in northern Spain. During this week participants are able to practice their previous study of Spanish language and culture.
