CIEE HS Summer Abroad: Spanish Language & Culture in Seville

5.0 / 5Overall Rating
1Review

Program Overview

Four weeks of language immersion in the capital of Andalusia will take your Spanish to new heights. After language classes, head out into Seville’s colorful, aromatic streets—dotted with azulejos (colorful ceramic tiles) and filled with the scent of jasmine—to converse with sevillanos. Discover the Jewish Quarter’s centuries-old buildings and charming squares and marvel at iconic sites like the Alcazar (a Moorish royal palace) and the Gothic Seville Cathedral. Wander the narrow, winding streets of Triana—birthplace of flamenco—graze on exquisite tapas and bask on a boat ride along the Guadalquivir River.

Make the most of your stay as you experience southern Spanish customs at your homestay. Celebrate the Catholic festival of Corpus Christi and participate in the festivities. On weekends, enjoy excursions to Andalusian cities like Granada with its intricate Moorish Alhambra palace and bohemian vibes, and Cadiz, known for its golden coastline and turquoise waters. In Seville, you will accelerate your Spanish and embark on an extraordinary adventure that immerses you in southern Spain.

A Life-Changing Experience

My CIEE high school summer abroad changed my life. At 16 years old, I traveled to Sevilla, Spain with CIEE. I realized there that I wanted to pursue a career as a Spanish teacher, and now I am working at a public school in New York doing just that!! Since my amazing experience with CIEE as a student, I’ve also returned to the non-profit to work as a Program Leader supporting other students as they embark on this engaging, unique, and life changing experience. I can’t recommend CIEE enough!!
