Vibrant Vistas in Spain and Portugal

COURSE OVERVIEW

Discover the vibrant culture and history of Spain and Portugal through language, food and the arts. Walk the now modernized streets of Valencia, Porto and Seville and see how their landscapes, proximity to the sea and farmland changes the ways of the people, their cuisines and their day to day lives.

Step back in time with visits to the Basilica of Our Lady of Fatima and see how modern technology has helped expedite the construction of the Basilica de la Sagrada Familia. Venture down the rabbit hole with Antoni Gaudi and learn about his other-worldly designs at Casa Batllo. Try Portuguese tarts, learn how to make Paella, experience a Flamenco show and more!
