Come join us in Spain on the study abroad, fall semester 2025, to find out. Dotted with medieval and modern castles, cathedrals, mosques, and synagogues, Spain boasts a stimulating crossroads of culture evident in such areas as their cuisine (one that rivals that of neighbor France), architecture, history, and a people that descend from the Basques, Celts, Iberians, Romans, Visigoths, and Moors. Few cultures can boast a past, or present, as diverse. What’s Spain famous for? Is it the Neanderthal cave art? Is it the rich art history left by Picasso, Dalí, Velázquez displayed in the internationally renowned Prado Museum? Is it because it’s the home of the first modern novel, Don Quijote de La Mancha? Could it also be famous for its vibrant sports culture, whether that involves fútbol, tennis, or other high-profile international sports? Beyond its rich cultural heritage, Spain’s geography and climate ranges wildly from the warm sands of the Mediterranean to the cold Galician northern shores, from the verdant forests along the north to the dry central plateau, and from the deep canyons throughout the country to the busy cityscapes of Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, and Valencia. Such is the nature of the land we shall explore together. From our base in Alcalá de Henares, near Madrid, we shall travel extensively throughout the country in its distinct regions, including Galicia, País Vasco, Andalucía, Cataluña and Castilla, to name a few. Join us to enhance your understanding of this unique country, where Europe and Africa are so often said to meet, and you just might end up a new fan* of a Spanish soccer club.
