Students' Salamanca Sojourn

At the end of March, 29 students traveled to Salamanca, a historic city two hours west of Madrid, to improve their Spanish language skills.

They stayed with local families and attended four hours of Spanish lessons each morning, which they enjoyed. During breaks, they practiced ordering tapas or drinks at Plaza Mayor.

Afternoons were spent exploring local monuments and museums. Activities included a Latin American dance lesson with a Peruvian teacher, a cookery class to make 'tortilla española,' and trips to Avila and Segovia, where they visited the Roman Aqueduct and the Alcazar.
