Discover the language, literature and culture of Spain this summer!

Where better to study Spanish and to learn Spanish culture than in Spain?! By traveling throughout this Iberian gem, you’ll see how the modern and historic merge to create a uniquely Spanish blend.  

Your first stop: historic Cádiz, a metropolis founded by Phoenician merchants. As you explore the white-washed houses and tropical vegetation of southern Spain, you’ll gain an understanding of the cultural and political dynamics influencing this ancient and beautiful land. From Cádiz, you can even venture for a day trip to the exotic reaches of Morocco, which gave Spain its Arabic influence.

From Cádiz, you’ll travel to Madrid, the nation’s bustling capital and economic center. While visiting such sites as the Plaza Mayor, museums and ancient streets, you’ll practice your Spanish as you order meals in restaurants or shop in the city’s trendy boutiques.
