Summer Study Abroad Spain
Spain has a lot to offer
to international students. It is - and has been for thousands of years
- one of the cultural centers of Europe. It has beautiful cities and
towns, offering really old monuments as well as futuristic architecture.
Its various regions are all different one to each other, geographically,
climatically and even in personality. It is a fascinating country to
know and to know more about it.
"Spain is different!", Spaniards use to say. They don't specify compared
to what: to the rest of Europe, to the rest of the world, or even to
itself ? TWU Study Abroad programs in Spain will give you the unique
chance of a Semester Year and Summer Programs to international students
that want to explore the country of Spain. We do our best to supply
you with loads of information so you can find the answer to this question
and to many more by yourself.
For first time exchange students, the face
of Spain can be compared to that of an ornate clock, with noteworthy
points on the perimeter, and Madrid—the heart of the movement—in the
center, Starting at XII, you have Santander, with a history going back
to the Cantabrians and a might that reflected the power of ancient Rome.
Moving east, there is San Sebastian at the edges of the Pyrenees, like
a jewel couched in green velvet facing the wind-tossed Bay of Biscay.
Then you go down to mountainous Pamplona, the pulse beat of Navarra,
where each year, at the Feria de San Fermin, brave souls still expose
themselves to the "running of the bulls." The hands sweep through the
throbbing tourist sectors of the Costa Brava to burgeoning Barcelona,
pride of Catalonia, which boasts the cathedral and room where Queen
Isabella celebrated Columbus's triumphant return from the Americas.
Next comes the gaiety of Valencia with its fallas and the ever-present
smell of citrus groves and roses. Granada and the fabulous Alhambra
strike VI, probably one of the most rewarding points in the passage
of your time abroad. There's the slow and easy sunlit Costa del Sol
for lazing, golf, and aquatic sports—not to mention the continuous nighttime
activities for which the area is famous. Then it's into Andalusia and
sun-baked Seville with its Moorish antecedents, neighboring Cordoba
standing in the shimmering heat, and up to lovely medieval Salamanca;
to the rugged Atlantic fjords of Vigo, Pontevedra, and Arosa; to land's
end, jewel-like La Coruna; and finally to the stately antique grace
of Santiago, where so many pilgrimages have culminated. Spain
is a treasure for discover. Although seems that it is already
know for the world. Spain is the 3 most visit country of the world
and for the side of the country this means that it is an exceptional
place to study and enjoy a program abroad.
