High School Study Abroad in Alicante, Spain

Improve your Spanish skills and soak up the beach vibes of the Mediterranean. Embark on a four-week language adventure in Alicante, on the southeastern coast of Spain. Enjoy daily language classes and dive into conversations with locals while exploring the stunning waterfront. Shop at the Mercado Central, and hang out in the city’s old quarter, Barrio Santa Cruz, with its medieval alleys, whitewashed buildings, and flower-scented streets. Then, climb to the top of Mount Benacantil to reach the Castillo de Santa Bárbara for sweeping views of the bay. At your homestay, get an authentic taste of the Spanish lifestyle, sampling typical dishes and enjoying la sobremesa (the conversation after the meal) with your host family. During excursions, go on an exciting trip to the Algar Waterfalls and explore the grandeur of Spain’s capital city, Madrid. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters and golden sand, you’ll take your Spanish skills to the next level and form lasting bonds in one of Spain’s most beautiful coastal cities.
