Spain

If your impression of Spain is of garish booming discos, phoney British pubs and other horrors of the Costas (they may not of course be horrors to everyone), the real Spain with all its diversity is worlds away. Cities with narrow twisting streets and historic buildings from Roman and Moorish times combine with ambitious modern architecture. This is the country that gave the world great artists like Picasso, Dali and Goya, the passion of the Flamenco, and the fun of the fiestas.



Available Locations


Alicante

Alicante is the pearl of the Mediterranean, enjoying a wonderful climate all year round. Its beaches win Blue Flag Awards from the EU every year and Postiguet Beach is even located in the very centre of the city. The area, inhabited well before the Romans, plays a vital role in the modern Spanish economy. It is a popular tourist region, and Alicante International Airport has excellent links with many European cities. With 500,000 inhabitants, Alicante is a medium-sized city with a cultural life, a young and dynamic university, and a booming economy. You will also find here century-old traditions like the San Juan Festivities or the "Moors and Christians" celebrations, a revival of the "Reconquista" battles. The Spanish spoken here has no special accent, unlike Barcelona where Catalan becomes dominant.


Barcelona

Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is a cosmopolitan Mediterranean city that juxtaposes Roman remains, medieval quarters and the most beautiful examples of modernism and 20th century avant-garde art. Pedestrian streets in the old districts, green spaces, urban beaches and a splendid waterfront filled with modern structures all reflect the city's aim at integration. The visitor, whether on business or pleasure, will enjoy Barcelona's Mediterranean character, which can be clearly felt in Costa del Garraf as well as in the coast of Maresme.


Cordoba

Cordoba is a city with a population of 350,000 in the very heart of Andalusia, the southernmost region of Spain. Standing at the foothills of the Sierra Morena mountain range with the River Guadalquivir meandering gently past, Cordoba enjoys a warm sunny climate during most of the year. Echoes of the important historical role Cordoba has played over the centuries abound in the Roman, Visigoth, Moslem, Jewish and Christian remains found all over the city. For seven centuries Christian, Jewish and Moslem cultures flourished side by side and provided an exemplary model of tolerance and peaceful co-existence between different cultures and races. The countryside around Cordoba, rich in olive groves and vineyards, is dotted with natural parks and the unforgettable white villages, which reflect the real essence of rural Andalusia. Cordoba, well known for its history, its beauty and the friendliness of its people, was inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1984. Special importance is given to the students' safety - Cordoba is in fact a medium-sized, safe city, and everywhere can be reached on foot - all of which makes our job much easier.
