Spain - Conservation Projects in the Valencia Region

Volunteer with animals and preserve nature in the bright lands of Valencia, Spain. The endless coast draws many, but the beautiful mountains, forests, islands, and cool rivers further in, offer just as much fun. The plethora of geography brings with it a wide diversity of flora and fauna, many of which are in need of human support. Volunteers can choose between the two different locations and types of work. The first places volunteers in Albufera Natural Park which is home to Spains largest lake and many rare species yet it is an easy bus ride from the city of Valencia. The second option will take volunteers further inland to work on different nature reserves. This placement is only available from October to June and focuses more on the environment and vegetation rather than animal populations.

Spanish Summer Immersion for Teenagers in Valencia Spain

Enjoy a Spanish summer learning vacation in Valencia, Spain's third largest city which has experienced a cultural renaissance in recent years. Located on the Mediterranean coast, it has everything from pristine beaches to fascinating architecture and a world-class soccer team. It's a wonderful place to learn Spanish because although it's a big city, it still has a small town feel. Romans, Visigoths, Moors and Christians have all left their mark in Valencia, but the city has been revitalized in recent years by Santiago Calatrava's futuristic "City of Arts and Sciences." This compound of intriguing structures is one of Europe's most imaginative millennial projects and has brought slews of new visitors to the city. Calatrava's buildings and a handful of pending cutting-edge projects have made Valencia a new hot-spot and one of the top desirable places to live in Spain. Forty percent of students attending this summer vacation are international students learning Spanish and 60 percent are Spanish students learning English. The campus is located in the university district of Valencia, within walking distance to the beach and close to the city center.

My Spain trip

This summer I went with the experiment to Spain. I had a lot of fun with my experiment group, and made what I believe to be long lasting friendships. I was very immersed in the Spanish culture, and was able to learn the Spanish language as well. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is worried about leaving the country without any guidance. It’s also great for people who do not have the means/experience to travel on their own or with family. It is a fantastic first step for seeing the world.
