Description: Learn Spanish Language in Spain:
Cadiz is the oldest city in Western Europe with records suggesting that the city was occupied more than 3,000 years ago. It stands on a peninsula jutting out into a bay, and is almost entirely surrounded by water. This surprisingly laid-back town with an easy-going atmosphere offers great beaches, sweeping views of the sea and long, palm-lined promenades that complement the town's lively bars, fantastic museums, bustling commercial activity, and beautiful Cathedrals typical of any prized European city. Cadiz looks quite Moorish in appearance and is intriguing with narrow cobbled streets opening onto small squares. Cadiz is also known for its famously wild Carnival celebrations. It has become the liveliest and most dazzling carnival town in mainland Spain, famous for its amusing and creative figurines and satirical song groups.

School Facilities: Located in a typical Andalusian house in the old part of Cadiz, close to the wonderful Plaza de Mina and the Alameda Promenade. The school is situated on a beautiful, tranquil pedestrian street, within walking distance from lively squares, cafes, cultural monuments, libraries, shops, universities and the beach. The school provides free Internet access and a library.

AmeriSpan Study Abroad's Mission Statement: Since 1993, AmeriSpan has sent more than 23,000 people abroad. Our staff has three passions: language, culture, and travel. Individually and as a group, we have accumulated experiences and knowledge related to these passions. We have traveled to more than 65 countries - every continent except Antarctica - and speak 10 languages. We are happy to share this enormous amount of relevant knowledge with you. Every AmeriSpan staff member has studied and/or lived abroad for extended periods of time. We understand your questions and concerns because we have personally dealt with the same issues. We have gone to great lengths to make it easier for you than it was for us. After enrolling in a program, you will receive a copy of the "Need-To-Know" fact sheets on the country or countries that you will be visiting. These fact sheets include information about entry requirements, climate, health and many other "Need-To-Know" things. If you still have questions, we'll be happy to answer them. We are neither a language school nor a travel agent we're a hybrid of the two, a language travel organization. AmeriSpan has evaluated hundreds of schools, host families and destinations to determine which programs to offer. Our independence allows us to give you unbiased evaluations of the programs. We do not just list what is included, rather, we clearly state our opinions. Each program description contains a program review that describes what we like and what we don't like about the program. Aside from assisting you with which program to choose, we work hard to make the whole process as simple as possible. AmeriSpan pre-arranges your school, lodging, airport pick-up and other services. With AmeriSpan, you will not have to worry about international wire transfers, international phone calls or dozens of other possible complications with arrangements and money.
