Madrid
Our program will start in Madrid, an enthralling city whose empire dominated Europe and stretched from South America to the Philippines. We will explore the sites from our hotel, located in the heart of the City, steps away from the Prado Museum, where we will take in the masterpieces of Velazquez and Goya. Our evenings will be spent enjoying the flamenco dancing and café culture that defines Spain.

Pamplona
Departing Madrid, we will continue to Pamplona for the Running of the Bulls. This will be followed by two nights in Bilbao, home of the extraordinary Guggenheim Museum. We will then continue on to Barcelona.

Barcelona
Our home base for the program will be the capital of Catalonia-Barcelona, one of the most avant-garde cities on the Continent. We will be staying in a recently completed residence of the University of Barcelona. Fully air-conditioned and wired, it offers first-class athletic facilities and very comfortable accommodations. We will be steps from the Barrio Gotica and the historic city centre, where we will live and breathe the architecture of Antoni Gaudi and feel the pulse of La Rambla. Morning classes will be followed by excursions in the city and to nearby beaches. Evenings will be spent on organized outings to concerts, tapas in the cafes or by simply taking in the famed El Paseo de Gracia.
