Spanish Study Abroad Programs in Spain

Studying Spanish in Spain is a journey of surprises. You’ll say hola to friends in a café-lined plaza that comes alive at night. A few steps beyond, you’ll find an ancient Islamic mosque intertwined with a Romanesque church. Now walk inside a museum to see classic Dali and Picasso paintings. Que impresionante! And when you meander a bit farther, take a breath—respira. The snow-capped Pyrenees mountain tops and olive trees on hillsides will complete your study abroad in Spain experience.

Unforgettable

I had an incredible time and learned so much! I felt so safe while being in Bilbao and felt that the city was easy to navigate. I loved my apartment and all the friends I made. We went on so many cool trips like to san juan gaztelugatxe, art museums, wine tasting, surfing, a fancy spa as San Sebastian, and went to France. There were endless cool things to experience and I had the time of my life.

I think about it everyday of my life!

I loved every minute of it. I didn't mesh a lot with other groups members, my one thing I would change would be that I wish the group was bigger but I have no complaints about anything else. The staff is amazing, living in the dorms was fun and I learned so much more than I could ever imagine.

A Guide to Studying Spanish Abroad in Spain

Why Study Spanish Abroad in Spain?

Spanish study abroad programs in Spain depend on your taste—and I don’t mean tapas (which are everywhere!). Seville is the city of the original tapa, so find a language immersion program there and order your jamon con queso in Spanish! You may also love Salamanca, a popular student destination that claims to have the perfect Spanish accent. Looking for a fast-paced experience? Consider working on your Castellano in Madrid, Spain’s cosmopolitan center.

Study Spanish in Spain, but have fun too! Practice your español in the must-see sites. Don’t miss the Alhambra of Granada, the Moorish king’s castle on the hill. As for time en la playa, laze about in Ibiza and dance your heart out at night. Head north along the coast to beloved Barcelona where the whimsical architecture of Antoni Gaudi greets you on every corner.

Descubre el mágico! Discover the magic of the museums, cafes, and historic city centers when you study Spanish in Spain.
