Met people from all over the world
May 21, 2025by: Mariana Guariba Costa GiglioI highly recommend doing the Camino de Santiago with Arcos Learning Abroad. This is a good program for you if you are ready to spend most of your day walking, meeting new people from all over the world, and getting to eat different foods native to northern Spain.
Has so much to offer
May 21, 2025by: Paola GalianoI did the Camino de Santiago, also known as the Way. I highly recommend this program if you really like hiking, walking, nature, and getting to know northern Spain (Galicia) on foot. It has so much to offer and I am glad that I choose to do this. Be sure to have really good footwear!
Enjoyed learning about the environmental impact of pilgrims
May 05, 2025by: Anna Caroline FlamingRocio was an awesome director—highly organized and always prepared to help! I strongly recommend this program. I especially enjoyed learning about the environmental impact of pilgrims. While some hostels varied in cleanliness and shared bathrooms were a downside, my favorite was in Madrid. Pro tip: bring a towel and shower shoes, and don't overpack! This program helped me realize my capabilities, and I highly recommend it for studying abroad.
