Study Abroad in Spain!

From its dazzling beaches to its ancient castles, Spain is a country as diverse as the cultures which have influenced its art, architecture, music and lifestyle. It is a land where cathedrals and castles are interspersed with skyscrapers; where modern rock mixes with flamenco guitar. Spain offers some of the world’s most famous museums, resorts, fantastic food and festivals, making it a unique and awesome destination.

Spanish is the second most widely spoken language in the world. There are more than 35 million Spanish speakers in the USA, and it’s the official language of 22 countries. Summer Discovery students will be immersed in Spanish culture amongst Spanish natives. Knowing a language is more than just learning the formal structure; it’s learning to communicate with the people who speak it.

Barcelona (3 Weeks)

Students will experience the Mediterranean spirit and cosmopolitan atmosphere of this vital, cheerful city that blends quirky modernism with a 2,000 year history. Surrounded by mountains and beaches, Barcelona is Catalonia’s capital of style and consumption. The New York Times recently wrote, “Barcelona’s cosmopolitan people, vibrant street life, and Paris-meets-Miami architecture is what makes the city so exciting.” Add to the mix an amazing array of cool sights like Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia and the Olympic Village, funky neighborhoods like Barri Gotic, and El Raval, we’re sure you’ll agree that Barcelona is the place to be.

Madrid (1 Week)

Spain’s beautiful capital is a lively, thriving city, famous for late-night fiestas and cultural attractions. The streets of Madrid are always bustling with people in lively sidewalk cafés or strolling along the tree-lined Paseo del Prado. Highlights include the Palacio Real, a shrine to royal extravagance, and the Plaza Mayor, where throngs gather day and night in hip outdoor cafes, listening to music, and eating tapas. The city boasts several world renowned museums, including the Prado and the Reina Sofia, which feature works by Goya, Picasso, Dali and Miro.
