About Spain: Spanish Language Immersion (21 Days) Program

Embark on an unforgettable 21-day Spanish language immersion journey through Spain's most vibrant regions. This extended program offers you up to 60 hours of intensive Spanish language courses taught by native speakers at three different international schools in San Sebastián, Barcelona, and Alicante. You'll be placed in classes based on your Spanish proficiency level—whether you're a complete beginner or advanced speaker—ensuring you get instruction tailored to your needs.

Your mornings are dedicated to structured classroom learning, while your afternoons transform into real-world language laboratories where you'll practice Spanish through authentic cultural experiences. Starting in the Basque Country's serene San Sebastián, you'll take surf lessons at one of the world's best beaches, ride a cable car to mountain vistas, explore charming coastal towns, and even cross the border into France. You'll master the art of tapas hopping—a quintessential Spanish dining tradition—while chatting with shopkeepers, ordering at local restaurants, and engaging with street vendors. From there, you'll experience Spain's royal capital Madrid, where you'll tour the Palace, visit the Bernabéu Stadium, and immerse yourself in authentic Castellano dialect.

Next comes Barcelona, where you'll marvel at Gaudí's architectural masterpieces including the Sagrada Familia and Parc Güell, explore the Gothic Quarter's winding medieval streets, attend an authentic Flamenco show, and tour Camp Nou, home of FC Barcelona. Your final week takes you to the Mediterranean sun of Valencia and Alicante, where you'll learn about Spain's most famous dish at the rice fields where paella originated, enjoy water sports like stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling, visit the beautiful marine reserve island of Isla de Tabarca, and conclude with an elegant final dinner overlooking the ocean.

Throughout the program, you'll stay in centrally located, safe, and well-supervised accommodations in each city—small, family-run hotels rather than impersonal chains, positioned within walking distance of main attractions. Your experienced bilingual staff will accompany you every step of the way, facilitating language scavenger hunts and real-world speaking opportunities designed to build your confidence and fluency. This program is perfect for high school students (grades 9-12) seeking to gain a global perspective and achieve genuine language fluency through total cultural immersion. The program includes ground transportation, accommodations, all breakfasts and dinners, chaperones and guides, and program-related activities and admissions.
