Spain: The Iberian Experience - Excursions

Picture: students in Granada

Students enjoy an excursion to the Alhambra in Granada!

The multifaceted nature of the history and culture of the Iberina Peninsula can not be fully understood though study in the classroom!

Students take several field trips to the different regions in Spain and to nearby countries. The program often visits Catalonia, where they speak with leaders of a region with a distinct people and language propelled by a strong separatist movement, as well as, Andalucía, where they observe the depth of Moorish and Semitic influences on the culture of Spain. And this is just the beginning...

In past semesters, students have traveled within Spain to Andalucía, the Basque country, Barcelona, the Canary Islands, Galicia, Salamanca, Toledo, and Santander, as well as distinations outside of Spain like Lisbon, and Rome.

Students also frequrently visit sites in and around Madrid expand on the topics covered by the courses.
