Madrid
Your summer in Spain begins in Madrid. This first week serves as a sort of ¨introduction¨ to the Spanish language and culture. You´ll get to know Spain’s capital during site visits and excursions, your fellow travelers during afternoon activities, and begin your study of Spanish language during evening conversation classes over delicious group meals. Two day trips to Segovia and Toledo will help introduce topics on Spanish history.

Barcelona

You´ll live in a centrally located apartment residence with walking access to Barcelona’s main cultural attractions. Your daily schedule will be just as exciting and dynamic as your location. Between daily classes ranging from drawing and digital photography to Spanish language and cuisine, afternoon activity options and excursions, and weekend day trips all around Catalonia, you´re sure to be inspired and discover new passions.

Daily Schedule
The spirit of “carpe diem” inspires our scheduling of classes, events and outings. Every weekday morning in Barcelona you will attend your experiential Spanish language class (think field trip meets classroom learning). Your pre-selected elective meets on a tri-weekly basis during the afternoons. This frees up two afternoons per week for you to try your hand at salsa-dancing, ultimate Frisbee, sunbathing, tapas-tasting, museum touring or, to cool off with a dip in the residence’s rooftop pool.

We will always give you at least two-to-three options to choose from just to make sure there is something for everyone. Weekends are dedicated to day trips and group events and also provide down time to relax or explore the city (within our safety guidelines) in small groups.

Day Trips
Day trip excuPhotos of Abbey Road Programsrsions introduce you to some of Spain’s most celebrated towns and cities. While in Madrid, you’ll visit Segovia and Toledo. Segovia’s Roman aqueduct and Gothic cathedral (thelast to be built in Spain) offer an awe-inspiring glimpse into the country’s dynamic history, whileToledo’s breathtaking mountaintop views justify its position as a former capital of the Spanish Empire.While in Barcelona, you’ll get to explore Girona, Sitges, Figueres and Montserrat.

The picturesque medievaltown of Girona provides a true taste of Spanish Gothic architecture and old-world Catalonia, whileSitges hosts 17 beautiful beaches! A visit to Figueres introduces you to the birthplace of Salvador Dali, while a hike through Barcelona’s Montserrat offers the opportunity to discover the mountain some claim houses the Holy Grail of Arthurian myth.
