On Thursday, July 4th, the Abbey Road students arrived in Cadiz! Chris Bond, our Program Director, welcomed them, introduced them to their host parents, and then the students were off to their new homes to relax and rest.

All is going very well here in our little Andalusian paradise. Yesterday we visited the Cadiz Cathedral, a beautiful and strange structure that sits alongside the ocean in old Cadiz. The students marveled at the bizarre design of the cathedral, which took over 100 years to build and ended up being built with a mixture of styles and ...
I can’t believe that in a few weeks I will arrive in Spain! I’m so excited and also a little nervous about my month-long stay in Barcelona and Madrid. I’ve never been to Spain, and I’ve never been away from home for a month. Everything I’ve heard about both Barcelona and Madrid has been positive. Everyone I’ve talked to who has ...
I can’t believe school's almost over, and in one month I will be on my way to Spain! I am going on the Barcelona-Madrid Spanish Cultural Immersion trip with Abbey Road Programs. I am taking Spanish language and Spanish conversation as my elective, and I will be housed in an apartment residence. As you can see I’ve already begun packing ...
The students arrive in just a couple of hours! All is ready here, Cadiz staff included, and we are very excited to get this program started! Soon after arriving, the students will get to meet their Spanish families, move into their temporary home, and eat their first home-cooked Spanish meal. This afternoon, we will be holding our orientation ...

I cannot believe that I have been given this wonderful opportunity to practice Spanish while living in a beautiful city! I am really looking forward to visiting ...
What made you decide to look into study abroad this summer? What drew you to Abbey Road? I knew I wanted to do something, but I wasn’t sure if I was going to be allowed to study abroad. I spoke about it with my parents and after some thorough research, we thought that Abbey Road was perfect for me. They let me go and I’m so happy that I ...
From the first day on the trip, I was enchanted by the amazing city that is Barcelona, and I did as much as I would explore it. Right after we unpacked in our rooms, my roommate and I set out to explore the city and ended up in Las Ramblas, one of the most interesting areas in the city. That was our first, but most definitely not our last ...
What were your main reasons for wanting to go abroad this summer? What were you looking for? This was my first time participating in a study abroad program. I had heard about teen tours before, but my mom brought up the study abroad program with Abbey Road to help improve my Spanish. I was going to be taking AP and I wanted to be better ...
