Spain: Language, Arts, & Education in Madrid & Barcelona
Program
Students will visit Madrid and Barcelona for an immersive cultural and academic experience. The group will be based in Madrid, where we will explore several internationally renowned museums and historic sites such as the Prado Museum, the Reina Sofía Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, the Royal Palace, El Escorial, Plaza Mayor, the San Miguel Market, CaixaForum Madrid, and El Retiro Park. These visits will introduce students to Spain’s artistic heritage, political history, and vibrant contemporary culture.
As part of the program, students will also take a short trip to Barcelona. There, we will experience the distinct cultural identity of Catalonia through visits to major landmarks such as La Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, the Gothic Quarter, and other iconic works by Antoni Gaudí. This extension to Barcelona allows students to compare two of Spain’s most influential urban centers.
