Arcos Journey

Arcos Journey abroad program was unforgettable experience for me .I had fun leaning to dance flamenco and the multiple activities that gave me the opportunity to practice to speak Spanish language.I enjoyed the Granada history & culture during the tours to historic places. Encarnacion, the home stay lady was nice and very good cook.The accommodation was great.I had my own room with a view to the Alhambra from the distance. My Teachers Marcell and Rocio were amazing sharing with the group their experiences & knowledge .Specially director Marcell Doerrier was very supportive . My mother is very great full to him for his generosity, concern and for his exceptional effort helping me. Thank you for the incredible memories I had during my trip with Arco Journey program Enrique Valdez
