by Ariel P-B. My Summer Program in Spain :Our first week spent in Cadiz has been amazing. We have consumed delicious tapas and gone to both beaches, as well as visited New Cadiz and discovered the old section through its castillos and iglesias. I am beginning to feel at home walking around in the city and discovering the little alleyways that ...
by Claire D. Things are in full swing here in Cadiz. We've started to really get into the different way of living here, from eating dinner at 9 to having an afternoon siesta. This week, we started classes and enjoyed many different afternoon activities. Our group is split into two separate classes during the morning. In these classes, we ...
by Sarah H-K. We have now been in Spain for a full week and I am feeling a lot more comfortable with navigating the city and with using Spanish in conversation.

by Claire D. Hola! This weekend was an exciting intro for what we are about to experience here in Cadiz.

by Sarah H-K. !Hola, bienvenido a España! This is what I finally heard after a rather drawn out journey from Boston to Spain. The extensive travel was worth it though, because Cádiz is absolutely beautiful. It is a city, but the tiny streets and local shops give it a very different feel from the typical American urban area.

You think we've done a lot in these few days?! Wait until you see our itinerary for the weeks to come for our Abbey Road students. Take a ...
by Hayden M. We are officially done with classes! However, it is sad because that means we only have a few short days left here in Cadiz. This week, we have gone and visited a castle that is right next to Playa La Caleta, the Cadiz history museum and the place where one of the Spanish constitutions was signed. The castle, more of a fort, had ...
I'll start off with my submission to this selfie war just to make sure the Italians have a lot of work to do. Once I've thoroughly established that this Cádiz session is truly the greatest selfie crew of all time, I'll continue with some more flesh and blood blog stuff. SELFIES To start off, here I am with Austin E. in El Piojito, ...
by Chris Bond - Cádiz Program Director As we start counting down (sadly) the days until the end of the trip, we're still keeping quite busy. We visited the Torre Tavira the other day. This is one of the original merchant towers here in Cadiz, towers built so that the merchants could keep an eye on the port and the approaching ships (during ...
by Hayden M. Hola from Cadiz! This weekend was more of a relaxed one.
