Throughout the semester we will learn of Spanish history, art, architecture and politics, and then in May we will spend two weeks visiting the cities of Madrid, Toledo, Granada, Seville and Córdoba in order to tour the palaces, cathedrals, mosques, synagogues and markets where these diverse cultures historically interacted. For the majority of the program students will live with Spanish families and will have ample opportunity to practice their Spanish skills if they opt to do so, but all families also speak English and there are no language requirements to participate in this course.
