Highly recommend!
June 28, 2025by: Ann ValiatharaProgram: Arcos Learning Abroad in Santiago de Compostela, Spain
I highly recommend this program! I greatly enjoyed experiencing the culture in Santiago de Compostela, and my Spanish comprehension improved significantly. The homestay family was excellent and very welcoming. The course focused on medical Spanish as well as culture and grammar. I enjoyed the hands-on activities at the hospital.

I did the healthcare program in Santiago de Compostela. Through this program I learned so much Spanish, immersed myself in the culture, and gained valuable knowledge about the hospitals. I faced no challenges and strongly advise future students to find something to do every day and make the best of it.
